also doesn’t hurt to have a thick skin too, because you’ll be both criticized and made fun of for your choices.

As somebody who started out with PHP I can fully relate to this. 😋

Anon pretty much sums up my experience with Java when I had to learn it in college 20-ish years ago. I'll never get rid of my distaste for the language I'm afraid.

In my Dutch social circle it is indeed, but don't ask me why. Personally I dislike Ibuprofen, it always makes me feel queasy and upsets my stomach.

Across all states, more people voted for him than for Harris.

I never said otherwise.

Unless you're arguing that electoral college votes should be redistributed in a way that ensures the winner will always be a Democrat...

No, I'm saying that your system needs to be fixed so every vote has the same weight, that's all. The fact that the term 'popular vote' exists at all is the flaw. Who won this year is irrelevant to the argument.

Why? Trump won fair (proverbial at least, I don't think all the misinformation that has been spewed on X counts as 'fair') and square this year, but that doesn't mean your system isn't flawed. Votes from certain states still carry less weight due to improperly distributed electors. Same happened with Gore vs Bush by the way.

I'm most certainly not. Oh look, time for The Two Minutes of Hate already. 📺

That's funny, I could have sworn it was Eurasia last year. I must be mistaken.

The majority voted for the candidate I don’t like. That means democracy is broken.

Don't worry, the US democracy was already broken. That became painfully clear when Trump started whining about not winning the popular vote when he was elected the first time. Being able to lose while having the support of the majority of voters is proof enough:

Hillary: 65,853,625 votes

Trump: 62,985,106 votes

Not every vote has the same weight, which is just completely bonkers and proof that your archaic system is due for a retrofit. Let's just hope it won't get chucked away entirely in the coming years.

Somewhere up in high orbit sounds fine. In space nobody can hear you scream, not even Trump.

he should never be allowed in this country again.

I'd appreciate not dumping your garbage on somebody else's doorstep, thank you very much.

Just wait for the sequel:
