politics

Are we all just assuming these searches are from people who regret their votes and hoped to be able to change it?

I double checked my ballot before submitting it, with full knowledge that irrevocability is the price of anonymity. Nevertheless, I might use similar search terms if I was curious how many other voters, possibly in other states or with different political alignments, had written about regretting their votes. Or, perhaps, ... if I was doing research for a post-election article about the topic.

Is this the "Find out" stage then?

Actions have consequences. Sad people had to figure it out this way.

I love it. America’s last hope and people failed. Fuck this place. Let the civil war begin.

Once again, these are the a validation headlines that create and support echo chambers. Honestly, what does it matter now?

We already know the regret is strong on this nation and will only get worse.

What ya'll upset for now? The economy was so good under Trump! Didn't you want him to deport all those "poisonous" immigrants. He's your retribution. And, besides, it's not like Harris would have been any better, because they're the same anyway.

The relative numbers are worth little without knowing the underlying numbers. If it went from 100 to 700 people, that is still negligble. Also crazy how people immediately take that as a base to remove voters rights unless they pass some sort of test. Nothing could go wrong with stripping voters rights amirite?

The republican anti-education campaign bears fruit I see.

Something is seriously wrong with civics education in this country. People in power have no incentive to fix it. At least naturalized citizens have to take a fairly stringent test.

I honestly think we should have a 20 question multiple choice basic 8th grade civics quiz before people are allowed to vote. We no longer have an electorate that's informed enough to be capable of voting. Score 60% or higher on that quiz or get the fuck out of the booth.

Edit: I'm incorrect, there's no national requirement that I can find. In CA we can't finish 8th grade without studying and passing a civics test covering this material: https://www.ixl.com/standards/california/social-studies/grade-8. So yeah, I amend my opinion - these standards should be followed nationwide.

God I fucking hate humans

Bloody hell, this is the US version of Brexit... this world would be such a better place if people just did the bare minimum of reading into what they were actually voting for before they fucking voted!

Also, seeing the other top searches being about the tariffs would have me creasing if it weren't so disappointingly stupid that these peoole seemingly knew nothing about Trumps most advertised economic policy before (assumably) voting for him

How are people this stupid?something in the water?

What annoying about this information is that we can't say who did that. Is it Harris to trump or trump to Harris or those who voted for other options.

I want to see searches of "is it too late to cast my vote?"

I wonder how many of these people are just now realizing that they have immediate family and friends who won’t be here next Christmas.
