I don't know you, but how are you, personally going to be materially affected by Trump's reelection?

Is this where we are? Don’t vote against Trump’s re-election because I’m a white dude?

Really?

What is your point here?

I'm telling you to calm the gently caress down, you'll live through the next 5 years one way or another and it won't be as bad as you're making it out to be.

You want a cross to nail yourself to so we can all witness your suffering?

Right now there are atrocities happening on every continent on Earth. You'll go nuts if you worry about all of it.

Yes, if anything I’m dripping smugness about Trump getting re-elected.

Chud.

Yes, you are absolutely convinced that when Trump wins it will not be the fault of the corrupt organizations that pitted him against a senile racist sex post, nor the actual chuds that voted for Trump. I will be the fault of the people that voted for free health care and civil and women's rights instead of giving up in the face of corruption.

You're smug because you got on board early, nevermind that the ship was sinking and on fire.

If you think I feel attacked by you you're not just wrong, you're incapable of understanding why we can't agree. You've sold your soul. You've given up. You have no hope. You are lost. You have lost.

Your defeatist nihilism cannot touch me. I still have my soul and I wont give it up for a lovely compromise. I'm in this for the long haul. gently caress your tainted prevent defense. I'm not teaching my daughter to date the less violent rapist, and I'm not teaching my son that being slightly less of a rapist is good enough.

Cole the people in charge of the political party that is making us choose between two rapists is led by real people with names, addresses, and bodies vulnerable to loss of blood

they're also old, frail, and in control of our political party because they're old with literally nothing better to do.

I've been trying to figure out how my local democratic party works and holy hell is it opaque.

Oh it's still gonna happen, only congress can postpone it.


The problem is, if this poo poo is still ongoing or flares up after it cools for a bit in the fall like the 1918 influenza pandemic did, it's likely going to massively cripple turnout in states that don't take steps to allow mail-in ballots or at the very least, early voting or curbside voting.

Never underestimate the power of human ingenuity when it comes to crisis-in-motion.

Humans in general may be selfish, short-sighted pricks but we also happen to have this tendency to make pretty amazing poo poo happen when our backs are against the wall.

Most of us are just along for the ride, doing what we can to keep going on Mr. COVID's wild ride thru Fucksville.
