Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Harris’s people are confident. The Trump campaign is panicking

God, I hope they know something we don't. I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Or throw up.

This is one of those times were you just gotta roll with the hourminutes. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Too poor for recreational drugs. And too medicated. I'm afraid all I have is exhaustion, paranoia, anxiety, and terror for the next 36 hours or so.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I feel like 36 hours would be quick compared to what we'll actually get.

If your ballot is submitted, there's nothing more to do.

If not, I'll see you in line at 7:00 tomorrow!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

There's organizing. There's supporting and defending each other.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You'll see me in line. Limping my ass down to my assign polling place and filling out the ballot there. Hail Mary, Full of Grace.

I wonder if Jupiter is still accepting sacrifices...?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You know as well as anyone, sacrifices are addressed "to whom it concerns"

Hah, it is awfully auspicious that I posted that not long ago, huh? Quocumque nomine...

I hear you. I was getting way too worked up about it as well. I've reduced my phone time as best I can, got some physical activity in, and tried to focus on some hobbies. It has really been helping but it took a couple days to take effect. I'm sure that you have or will be voting. Just do your part and then try to occupy yourself with other things.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I've tried occupying myself this whole time. I actually managed it. Just a sense of dread in the back of my head, no active, debilitating terror. But it's falling apart now that everything's so close. It was easy to kill when the election was far, and I could see it abstractly. But now it's here, and I don't have enough faith in my fellow Americans to be confident. I'm glad Harris's team is, I just hope it means something.

I just want to not wake up in a fascist regime.

Looks like you picked the RIGHT week to start sniffing glue

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Yep, Charlie Kelly time— huff glue, eat cat food and straight to pass out until it’s all over.

Do we get to play nightcrawlers?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Of course we’ll play nightcrawlers!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Let's be real, is there ever a wrong week?
