Can we all just agree that American politics is freaking terrifying? There are over 300 election deniers on the ballot as we speak! For the love of democracy, vote while you still even remotely have the right!
-
To quote a professor I once had, "If you are not willing to accept the results of an election unless your guy is the one who wins, you don't actually want a democracy anymore."

I was a vice chair as a county commissioner in a county in Georgia. I got death threats after a ordinance that we passed. It was about littering in the river. People were mad saying we were taking away their freedoms. So these threats over a way more serious subject don’t surprise me at all.

Okay but the line “tucker Carlson is cocomelon for bigots” is amazing and I love it
-
I am so sorry for every sane American. The whole world is laughing at the US, while obviously being afraid what might become of this nation.
-
The fact that the guy who is running to be in charge of the voting process, is simply refusing to acknowledge the possibility of the other side winning is insane.
-
I love that Nick Offerman just accepts everyone sees him as this “manly man” when he’s actually a big softy. But because he’s such a kind, soft hearted person, he plays into the manly man role to make people happy. Truly one of the coolest people in Hollywood.
-
The Aaron Van Langevelde clip gets me misty-eyed every time, where he certifies the election results. The John Adams quote, followed by the certification is incredible, to see someone care that much about our democracy, our government, and our history. Its a rare form of patriotism that's just beautiful to watch.

2016: “We don’t care about your feelings” 2022: “We’ll just say we won, because we feel it”

Confessions of a vote mule: I called an old lady who couldn't drive any more, and was nearly in tears because her husband had had a stroke not long ago and also could no longer drive... but they really wanted to vote. So i drove out to get their ballots and then dropped them off for her.

“I don’t want to sound alarmist. I don’t need to sound like Chicken Little. I don’t need to LOOK like him either, but—” was one of the best throwaway gags this season
-
OMG! I can't stop laughing. "2,000 Mules" is going to go down like "Refer Madness" movie! I'm paraplegic and I have other people drop my ballot off. My Dad does too.

As a European, this reminds me of the post-WW1 era, where some countries (most prominently Germany and Italy) went through a similar process — from questioning the legitimacy of those in power, blaming some minoriy for everything, arming their supporters and intimidating the opposition. This process didn’t happen overnight, but went over many years. I hope the US stops going down this route before it’s too late and the crazy has become the new, acceptable normal.

How trump was not arrested immediately after that call tape was released is something I will never understand.
-
I can't get over the fact that John Oliver did not pick up the line "Army of the Awakened" by Bannon. That is not an election idea, that's a movie about zombies.
-
Watching Doug Ducey's micro-expressions to that phone call was a TREAT! You could practically see the "Nope, not dealling with that right now." And proceeding "what a d!ck" little head tilt. 😂
-
Can we just take a minute to appreciate the irony of an individual who's asking for your vote by blowing up a ballot box?
-
I find it hilarious how the side that claims "facts don't care about your feelings" base their entire reality on their feelings and refuse to change those beliefs even when facts are presented.
-
"Sleep with one eye open you tasty plump clown" is the most intimidating and insulting sentence I think I've ever heard.

He isn't the world's angriest Target employee, he is a Circuit City employee who has been in a coma for a very long time.
