    Always remember it’s like fantasy football 🏈!

    Yeah! I’m voting Harris! Yeah!

    If she wins… meaning that the actual electors from the unelected body called the electoral college, actually vote for her and she gets to win… Then I would have picked the correct option! It’s just like the Lotto! In election day you mark you Lotto ticket, then you wait for the election to be called… meanwhile in the Lotto, they spin a wheel full of carefully balanced balls. They, the electoral college, pick the balls and show you the list of balls… Then you check your ticket and if you elected what they elected, then you won! You won! I can’t believe it! I can’t believe it because the electors can choose whoever they want! Yey! Democracy!

      It’s less fantasy football and more trying to prevent a genocidal dictator from taking power.

        Yes but like this…think of a letter between A) and B)!

        Pick A for Trump or B for Harris!

        If you picked B! Guess what??? We’ll let’s wait and see what happens 😉. Hopeful they pick B to! I hope the people who do actually get to actually vote for our president, pick a good president to be our non king leader who we actually pick …for realz.

        In the meantime, I just got my ballot a few days ago in the mail and I’ll vote B too. Hopefully I win too. But I’ll have to wait until the electoral college picks our president too. Yey! Democracy!

          Still not like fantasy football. Stupid, but nothing like fantasy football.

            Okay, I give. It’s not like fantasy football. I must confess, I got no clue what fantasy football is all about. But the subject is probably more complex than I care to spend and amount of time on at all.

            I sure am excited about our new president though! I hope the electoral college picks the same one I picked! That would make me a winner! Democracy! Yey!

              Cool. I just hope the electoral college picks the person who doesn’t openly say that they’re a dictator and won’t start two genocides in the U.S., of brown and queer people.

              I’d call that president a winner for those people. One of them is my daughter.

              But sure, treat keeping millions of people out of concentration camps like it’s trivial. I bet you don’t feel the same way about Gaza.

                Dude! We’re gonna be rich 🤑!!! That’s the candidate I didn’t pick! Imagine the possibilities if it’s also the candidate the actual electors that actually not vote for president pick! Yes!

                DEMOCRACY LIVES! 💪!!!

                  I was surprised at how many bozo candidates ended up on the ballot who no body ever talked about.
