Good Luck America/Americans.

I'm feeling the nerves a little today, I may for the most part avoid the news as we won't know who has won until at least tomorrow for me, maybe even later. I think Harris has ran a brilliant campaign in the time she was given and there's not much I can criticise her on, it has been far better ran than Hillary in 16 and I'd argue even Biden in 20. Democrats ground game has been incredible and they've been in all the right states, they have sensible and well thought out policies which will benefit a far wider range of Americans than Trumps dumb fuck "drill baby drill" and "tariffs"

They've ran a campaign on looking to the future while Trump talks about dragging America back to the 1700s. They've ran a campaign of unity with Harris reaching out to Americans across the board from Democrats to Republicans, from all races and ethnicities, while Trump has continued to spread vile bigotry, sexism and racism towards everyone and the only group Trump has actually made an effort to appeal to is white males. This has been one of the worst ran campaigns I've seen in my history of watching both American and UK Politics.

If Harris loses it will be no fault of hers but on millions of Americans, likely not the majority as I expect her to win the popular vote but hey that's the shitty EC for you. America has a simple choice between a sensible politician who will look out for the needs of all Americans or a fascist. I've never followed an American election this closely before, not only because America is about to make a choice about whether to rip away more rights from women and delve further into hatred and bigotry but because this American election will have worldwide consequences.

This election will embolden other far-right governments outside of America, it will embolden Russia, it will tell us how much the fight for climate change has been set back, it will tell us if Ukraine loses the fight for its freedom. It's telling that practically all of America's allies want Harris to win while almost all of America's enemies want Trump to win. I really hope Americans make the right decision. Please don't elect a goddamn fascist, you're (I hope) better than that America.
