I think I am going to finally leave this place.
You can find me over at the place with a color in its name (same name/handle).
Feel free to add me there or reply to this letting me know you're over there.
To anyone feeling discouraged/depressed about current events:
It is not selfish to take care of your own mental health. You can't fight for yourself, or anyone else, if you don't take care of your own emotional needs first.
@MikeyMike1559 In AZ, most of the outstanding votes are from Maricopa county and Pima County. It will probably be razor thin.
Most of NC's outstanding votes are in blue areas, but it may not be enough to make up the gap.
GA is a similar story to NC. It will be really close.
@CountryFirstRep I'm a left-leaning independent, but I think we need a strong center-right party that focuses on intelligent policy decisions to act as a counterbalance.
The only way to get that kind of Republican Party again is to deliver an absolutely crushing defeat to Trump and MAGA.
@rebecca_linam@king_reinhardt In the future, I think all campaigns should be required to do their campaigns in the same timeframe Kamala Harris had. There's no need to stretch out the campaigns like we do.
@TheCleftonTwain It's a terrible day for me to have virtual meetings all day at work, because it means I'm spending way too much time getting anxious over the election.
@stevehillwriter It took an hour to vote in my normally solidly red area.
There were quite a few young people in that line.
I don't expect Missouri to go blue, but it could be closer than usual since we had abortion on the ballot.
@RossKneeDeep I did my part this morning and provided my mom with a ride to the polls because she was considering not voting otherwise.
Now it's time to anxiously await what tens of thousands of voters in a few key swing states will decide to do.
@CasieBazay In addition, a lot of "Red" states aren't as Red as people think. A lot of Blue voters in Red states don't show up because they think it's a foregone conclusion.
If we show up, we can make the results closer and encourage the Democratic Party to devote time/energy to our states.
@brclothwrites It's difficult to say because I usually write multiple books at once, working on whichever fits my mood on a given day.
This year, I've written 150,000 words between multiple projects.
