A 270-268 outcome is the closest you can get without an outright tie (which would get broken up by each state’s house delegation getting one vote because death to amerikkka)
the year is 2027
newsrooms have come to the consensus that the only way to protect Українська culture against russian aggression is to stop translating the language entirely and teach cyrillic to thousands of writers
the last troops (split about 50/50 between balding 50yo skinhead volunteers and depressed conscripts fresh out of high school) are crossing the Дніпро into Київ
president Залу́жний (who presided over the unprecedented (TACTICAL) retreat of Українська forces after their ~~collapse of organization~~ brief pause on directives being ordered after Зеленський handed over power to him after being negotiated to take a break from his job by 2-3 infantry brigades) is live on tv, drunk off of chardonnay (purchased via money he obtained from selling surplus artillery to Netanyahu's Legitimate Government In Jerusalem (he cryptically told him he was "one of the good ones", deemed by newsroom consensus to be a folksy Українська statement and nothing deeper))
Залу́жний is probably talking about "the nukes being back" as he gives a thick slap to an irbm
I can't tell though because this dorky asshole commentator is telling me that "Ми зробимо Росію схожою на Юкка Флетс, лайно ти" has too many sociocultural connotations exclusive to the Українська language that it can't be directly translated to english
not anymore, he literally just fired the lady who votes for argentina at the un right after this vote lmao
from what i've heard its all 60yo party veterans who just joined because they were mad kennedy wasn't able to beat carter in the 1980 primaries
So what I'm getting from the latest elections (clarify if i missed anything) is that
- Georgia's generic regional post-soviet center-right big tent party kept its majority but also was possibly pulling nixon shit but also going up against an opposition that desperately wants to pull another color revolution with a little cia moolah, too much of a mess for me to sort out
- LDP got fucked as we all know, afaik it'll be succeeded by a coalition between the half-dozen center-left parties and center-right libertarian Osakans
- Bulgaria elected basically the exact same parliament as last time, the bitter rivalries the three identical center-right parties and their justified reluctance to team up with the four fascist parties means they're gonna have to do this again in a few months, one must imagine sisyphus happy etc
- Despite the loss of their most hitlerite faction, the lithuanian succdems are able to keep their coalition with two(?!) agrarian conservative succdem parties
- Demsocs seem likely to win the Uruguayan presidency but we've gotta wait another month for the second round
- Uzbekistan had elections too but all the parties were on good enough terms with their own generic regional post-soviet center-right big tent party for no one to care
uruguayan, japanese, AND bulgarian elections are all today holy shit
HUGE day for multifandom enjoyers
Kelly celebratory slop for Weird Al’s birthday
Remember when Kamala talked abt how america was finally not at war anymore at the debates (which in itself was bullshit too but all of its direct combat involvement left was low profile for people to care about)
that’s on track to last long isn’t it
calling it a “riot of a time”.
:sensible-chuckle:
She just died? Wow. I didn’t know that. You’re telling me now for the first time. She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman. Whether you agreed or not, she was an amazing woman who led an amazing life. I’m actually saddened to hear that. I am saddened to hear that. Thank you very much.
She definitely is though I thought, NH is blue by like +9 points right now iirc
