The 2020 elections.



Good entertainment value for the whole world. During pandemic as someone who doesn't live in the US,I actually followed the US election on a daily basis for the first time.


I was checking the live results page more times an hour than is reasonable for someone who isn't American and doesn't live in the US.


Same!!!!!


Giuliani farting in court made it all worth it.


I agree. I live in GA, and it was exciting to see my vote could make a difference.


Now that the elections are over: does anyone think they were underwhelming?

2016 had the real threat of both never-Trumpers and Bernie-or-busters, and a lot of weird drama with pizzagate, grab them by the pussy, and her emails. 2020 had nothing anywhere near that and had a comfy and predictable ending.


I agree. It was a roller coaster. If someone had told me halfway through 2019 that not only would a Biden/Harris ticket win, but also that I would be overjoyed about it, I would have responded that the first was unlikely and as to the second, not a chance. Yet here we are.
