I’ve talked about this on Jez before, but I live in a deep red state, with a deeply conservative family. I’ve watched with increasing disgust, anger, and fear as I’ve watched most of the people I know and love respond very differently than me to the events of this election.

I came to the USA with my parents at 10 years old and became a citizen just a few days after Obama’s reelection, so today marks both my 4 years as a citizen AND my first vote ever! I got home from working at the bar at 3 am and made it to polling station by 7 (as to not be late for my other job at 9). I was so excited…

my dad always told me not to do things because girls don’t do them. girls don’t play these kinds of sports. girls don’t move away from home and leave their families. girls don’t argue with their sisters. girls don’t do this and they can’t do that and they shouldn’t do that. and every time he said shit like that my jaw…

We live in Montgomery County, Maryland, a solidly Democratic county in a solidly Democratic state. Despite pollsters giving Hillary Clinton >99.99% chance of carrying the state, we voted. It took a grand total of 15 minutes to vote.

My husband and I early voted in Raleigh, NC. The line on the first Sunday of early voting was 2 hours on average. A good chunk of that was due to the fact that we had less early voting sites overall, and most of them didn’t open until a week or two later. There’s been a lot of voter suppression and disenfranchisement…

I live in Seattle, so a few days ago I sat down on the floor with my 4 month old and we talked about the pros and cons of each candidate and initiative, then filled out my ballot and mailed it in.

Bumping simply because this is a beautiful sentiment and everyone should read it.

I am 64- This is my current Facebook status: I was the third person in my district to vote this morning. My hand shook and my heart pounded when I filled in the oval for the Clinton Kaine electors. My vote is for me, and it’s for my country. But even more than that, my vote is for my four granddaughters, and for my…

My grandmother is an 89-year-old, black woman. She doesn’t leave the house much anymore because she’s sick a lot but she got up to vote for Obama and she’s up today to vote for Hillary. It’s a blessing to be able to watch her experience such progress.

We’ve got this, driving a bus of my teammates to vote tommorow NC’s going blue this time.

Pretty sure Cheeto Voldemort is not going to be President since these elections pull from all demographics. The turnout I worry about it midterm.

(watches Michelle wistfully) Note to Democrats: recruit somebody people are excited for next time and you won’t be within the margin of error to a human compost heap and a coin flip on regaining control of the Senate, which should have been easy.

How do these scumbags sleep at night. None of them have the simple intelligence to see that if you have to fucking cheat, over and over, to win for your shitstain of a candidate THEN YOU ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE.

As a black dude currently living in NC, I made sure to cast my ballot early. Here’s hoping McCrory and Trump have a bad day tomorrow

A game-changer for ladies with fine hair that can’t handle heavier leave-in conditioners. Detangles masterfully, reduces frizz, and provides humidity, color, and thermal protection. Been using it for years.

Exactly. While I’m glad she voted for Hillary, she acts like Trump is an aberration of the party and not the standard bearer.

I’m glad she took a stand against Trump, the lone racist/sexist of the Republican party. Have to let them know that this will not be tolerated .

I know I’m not the only one, outside the USA, who’s been feeling really powerless lately, not having any say in whether or not a megalomaniac is given the ability to nuke fucking everything.
