    I hope every single post hereon out has a pinned comment saying, “If you sat out for whatever bullshit reason and didn’t vote for Harris, don’t say a fucking word, for you enabled this.”

      The sad reality is this is only valid if you live in one of the 4 battleground states due to our shitty voting system.

        Partly.

        But that doesn’t change down-ballot races, and it also doesn’t change the fact that they could’ve influenced the popular vote. I would’ve felt slightly better if Trump actually lost the popular vote. But people are stupid.

          Yes but we must move to stop blaming the individuals and instead blame the systems that allowed this to happen.

          Blaming the individuals restarts the neverending cycle and fractures communities.

            The system is what it is, and the whole point of individuals voting is to change the system - or at least slow the slide into disaster. So it’s still up to individuals.

            I get your point and appreciate the check. But how do you shock someone from waking up within a cult?

      I stocked up on really good masks and toilet paper months ago. Starting now, I am reducing all extraneous expenditures and hoarding everything.

      There’s million “ifs” at this point but there’s a non-zero chance of this being apocalyptic. Just seems prudent to stock up for this or any other surprise this administration may be negligent over.

    Good. Let Trump screw up another pandemic when it comes.

    Then we’ll have two recorded instances of him crashing the economy

      But… he’ll still be racist right? That’s why I voted for him. I’m only going to vote for him so long as he’s racist.

      I don’t care if I die. I’ll give my vote to my sister-wife after I die.
