California Election Results Are Trending Because Voters Are Joking They’re Waiting Longer for a Final Answer Than for Their Avocado Toast
As California election results continue to trickle in days after polls closed, the internet has collectively decided that the state’s vote-counting process has officially entered its “slow-core era.” Memes are flooding social media comparing the delay to a DMV line, a dial-up internet connection, and—most painfully—a waiter who takes your order, disappears, and then texts you three hours later to ask if you wanted extra guac. The irony? In a state famous for its rapid technological innovation, the tabulation system has become a punchline about patience. Voters are now debating whether the real winner of California’s primary is democracy, or just the ability to hold off on a final decision longer than a breakup text. #CaliforniaElectionResults #SlowMemeCollab
