I'm Canadian and cannot vote in the US election, even though it'll affect us a lot (when a sleeping elephant rolls over...)

However, it drives me nuts looking at US polls. Harris is ahead by 2.4 points on average, which translates to something like 5-6 million in popular vote. But due to the electoral college system, it's still a tossup! 538 is running monte carlo simulations based on state-specific polling and margins of error, and Harris is only winning ~54% of the time. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/

So I say this kindly, as your northern neighbour, please please go vote :D

We will likely have our own election in 2025 complete with buffoonery.

If y'all really care so much why don't you have spy groups infiltrating our media to influence the election? Really shows who thinks we're worth the time ๐Ÿ˜ค

See this is how Mother Russia shows she cares by funding dim tools like Tim Pool to spread their form of kleptocracy.
