“I think it’s a terrible thing when states are allowed to tabulate ballots for a long period of time after the election is over.”

Fuck. We’re fucked aren’t we? This had better be a landslide. 

Well, in their defense it’s not like they could’ve voted to impea

I’ve never been more legitimately afraid for my safety and that of my fellow humans than I am right now, on the eve of this election. 

I just spent the last few days in DC visiting a friend over my birthday weekend. The city looks like it’s bracing for war. Both the Capitol and the White House were fenced up, and the closer you got to downtown the harder it was to tell which businesses were open and closed because of how many were boarded up. Even…

Or perhaps...a swamp?

I can’t cope. I’m not even American and I’m so stressed about this goddamn election.

Yep. Our household of 2 independent voters in a swing state received no less than 6 absentee ballot applications from the state GOP telling us Trump wanted us to vote by mail. More recently, the GOP decided that my husband is Black (he’s not), so while I get partisan mailers aimed at white suburban women with pictures…

I was here on Jezebel, reading articles nonstop. I was just 16 years old. In my life, I felt helpless. I came to Saturday Night Social to post profanity-laden rants about the drama of my high school life. I was stuck pretending to be friends with people who clearly had no interest in being mine, and that fact made me…

I’m in constant flux between wild hope and quiet despair; between devouring all the news and becoming a Luddite; from comfort eating to intense nausea; from wanting to argue with every Trumphead in my path to considering deleting my accounts. (On that last one, all I have to say is thank God for the mute/block/snooze…

I would rather see him in prison where he’s told consistently what he can and can not do. Where he can’t have McDonald’s and a Diet Coke for every meal. That would be the best. 

Good luck with everything!!! Beat that piñata for me!!!

This was from back over the summer I believe but it’s even more relevant now:

I take some small solace in the idea that he is afraid. A Trump assured of victory would want to be with his cronies to gloat. Instead, he is creating a modern day Fuhrer Bunker to hide from uncertainty he can no longer deny.

I’ve had so much anxiety built up over the election, and then I find out that my dad has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and the follow up appointment to find if it’s in other parts of the body and determine a course of action is the DAY AFTER THE ELECTION! I’d always planned on taking that day off, but it was…

Looking at this person’s comment history indicates that “cruel” and “moronic” is pretty much par for the course. (And yet, somehow I’m perma-grey and they appear not to be. Eh, whatever.)

This is an insane, cruel, moronic comment (i.e. exactly what I would expect from a Trump supporter). A quarter of a million people have died from the pandemic—that is a quarter of a million sets of families and friends permanently deprived of a loved one. Millions more people have been infected with a disease that…

I feel like vomiting also. I posted on another thread that my sister said that “the left-wing media has made a sucker out of you,” even though I am simply reporting facts to her.

Working for the most part, but really trying hard not to stress-eat. I just want to eat the greasiest, tastiest pizza I can find right now, and then follow it with cake and ice cream and a shitload of beer. 

Can’t be worse. I'm in.
