These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

      I’m just going to keep riding this horse until it fucking dies but the very first thing he did was take everything Obama did during his presidency and throw it out the window, including the pandemic playbook.

      That playbook would have given us step by step instructions and reactions to deal with any type of suddenly erupting national pandemic like Ebola or coronavirus.

      And because of this, which was by all measures a racially motivated attack on Obama, more than 1 million Americans died in a badly managed pandemic.

      Trump’s racism killed a million Americans.

      It undoubtedly exacerbated the problem for the entire world and his total kill count is likely much more than that.

      How can you let somebody who genocided millions of people through racism sit in the oval office?

        It’s a cult. They have people denying COVID ever existed. Heartily rejecting vaccines.

        There’s just too much to list but it only ever makes sense if you take whatever he’s doing as right and readjust everyone around him to work does it ever make sense.

        The fact that this election is even close is absolutely insane to me.

    As a person from Europe, who’s is living next to Ukraine, who’s girlfriend is ukranian, who’s many friends are Ukrainian, who’s many friends died due to that terrorist state: If you were eligible to vote in the US and didn’t, fuck you.

    Any vote that didn’t go to Kamala, is a vote for fascism, a vote to accelerate and finish the genocide of palestine, a vote to cease support for Ukraine and a vote to help terrorists in ruzzia. If you support any of that, Fuck. You.

    But I know my ukranian brothers, they will not surrender. Even if you selfish American pricks don’t support them. They will fight until they can’t fight anymore, and then they will still fight.

    Unlike you, they are brave. They are heroes. They know whats fucking right.

    And frankly, for all terrible things coming to the US, if you didnt vote, you deserve them all.

    If you are from the LGBTQ+ community, not white or a woman, and you didn’t vote, you have just commited suicide.

    I will still support Ukraine, financially. Its not much but I don’t care. And if its not enough and the worst comes, I am ready to die to save my brothers, just like my people did in the past.

    I am willing to do my part, if you didn’t vote, you didnt. So one, last fuck you.

    If the Dems win and they don’t put a boot on the neck of this fascist movement it will take over eventually.

      But that would require them to reign in the very same companies that sponsor them. One can hope, but it seems unlikely.

        Companies don’t want fascism, they just want tax breaks. Civil war and dictatorships are bad for business.

      I voted Trump but I completely agree. We need a landslide, even if Harris wins. Anything else gives the bad actors on either side fuel for an already out of control fire.

        Sorry, but I just had to take a peek at your profile. You claim to be on an autism spectrum, yet you voted for a man who will - as the first order of business - make your very life extremely miserable.

        That is my take. May I ask what is yours?

          I’ve never been one to believe fake political fear mongering bullshit. The right does it too. He’s not Hitler. He’s not going to go after disabled people. It’s bullshit lies. We’re getting more of his first 4 years if he wins.

            I sure hope that’s the case. Are there any particular resolutions you hope he can pull through in his term?

              Im hoping his foxus is on dropping energy prices mixed with lowering taxes on tips or overtime or social security. I know he wants to do all 3 but we know all 3 probably won’t happen because that’s how our politics works. Nothing ever happens fast

                You do realize that lowering the energy prices will be at a cost of dropping climate policies? Are you not worried about the earth changing drastically as we speak?

                so basically the entire reason you voted for trump is schizophrenic economics. When you could’ve voted for kamala harris, who has actual real tangible economic policy.

    I’m seeing a lot of “democracy is going to die” posts… But… I hate to break it to you:

    America is not a democracy. And if somehow it is a democracy, then it’s an incredibly bad one. It’s the least democratic democracy in the Western world.

    The two party system, the first past the post voting system, the indirect method of counting votes, lobbying, gerrymandering, the electoral collage. Systems to try and manipulate what a vote means. Systems that try to remove as much democracy from democracy as possible, while still being able to keep up some mock appearance.

    Your whole country is fucked and backwards from the very beginning, and that wouldn’t be so bad. But if America does something we all have to suffer for it!

    Jesus Christ people… these are humans who voted with concerns for themselves and their communities. Just because you didn’t get what you wanted or you did get what you wanted doesn’t mean it’s carte Blanche to say the most fucking heinous shit about each other.

    They wants us divided.

      Listen, either what happened is OK or it isn’t. And when you say “these are humans who voted with concerns for themselves and their communities” it makes seem like electing a felon, rapist, insurrectionist moron to the highest office is OK.

      So that’s why I’m here writing to you: to fucking tell you that it’s not, and to ask you to not try to justify it or make this shit sound reasonable. It’s not.

        No one is going to listen to your points if you come from a place of hatred. It may not be “okay” but it doesn’t mean someone who didn’t vote for Kamala for one reason is the same as another who may be a serial sociopath. Everyone has their reasons. You’ll reach people by talking to them about it. Not chastising them.
