Regardless of who wins, at least it's sure to be funny. I made my peace with the duopoly being identical plates of flyblown shit on expensive china months ago.

Just don't forget to kill Philip first.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 64 points 1 day ago (2 children)

American here. Can I come? Please? And stay?

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The UK is not better than America haha, just outwardly a little more subtle

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are the cops less murder-y at least?

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 10 points 1 day ago

Only because most of them aren’t allowed guns. A good number are still rapey and racist.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Way more tolerant of day drinking though, that's a plus.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Same tbh. I'd rather just watch Brighton be mid this season with some crisps than all this.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Stayed at Amberley Castle a couple years ago. I could go back there and never leave.

[–] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I dream of watching Wolves be mid.

[–] weirdboy@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Where is this pub?

I would like to go there.

That place probably averages 28 stab wounds every night. A safe place, by American election day standards.

[–] TheDeepState@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, considering that we shoot people here. 28 stab wounds is child’s play.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago

US knife crime rate is also 50% higher. I’d just be going around in Kevlar if I lived there.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As an Aussie, I guess I gotta work the bar?

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only if your name’s “Bruce.”

[–] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And you're an alright cunt.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Better get the pork scratchings in, this could be a late one.

[–] Zip2@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

Surely we’re not that desperate yet are we? There’s still kebabs to go yet.

[–] anaesidemus@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

bad news for us, the next election cycle starts immediately after this one, it will never stop sad-boi

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Seriously, it seems like their election campaigning goes on for years. I dunno how the yanks don't just get fed up with it.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 1 points 23 hours ago

It's insane to me that politicians just tour around like popstars and you read things like: kamala raised another 250milion dollars to go on tour i guess, getting a job in america seems expensive, and when your country is doing so well, i guess it's okay to just waste money on politicians. And in the end it doesn't even matter, because they vote for the white old man anyway.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

We do get fed up with it, but with the electoral college luckily only a small portion of us get hit with the worst of it.

Unluckily with the electoral college most of us get hit with the other worst of it AKA a Conservative candidate being competitive because the land gets to vote

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 23 hours ago

I think they do which is how they've ended up with this.

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I dunno, if Mr. Drumpf follows through on his promises, you'd need to stick half the government in the bin before another election even happened.

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That man has never followed through on a promise in his life.

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would be willing to bet he has followed through on numerous occasions.
But not on promises.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 11 points 1 day ago

Just a warning, it could be all week. Better tuck in.

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You all had your garb... rubbish vs rubbish moment already and rubbish won.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 1 points 1 day ago

The US did in 2016 too. It's just for some reason, a lot of you want to do it all over again :P

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What uh... what's going on over here?

[–] knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Entirely possible. In low res it just looks a bit... naked

[–] TheVelvetGentleman@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you start seeing naked people in every blur of pixels, it's time to monk yourself. Get thee to a monastery.

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

Someone has to brew the weißbier for the next generation!

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

Likely happens after every public school rugby match.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago

Oh well. Look on the bright side, we won't have the US election cycle dominating our news again.

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

ziiiiiiiip

Well since you're offering....

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Is this the fullback? I can’t remember its ages since I’ve been
