The sound of silence. There is no need for game music.

If everything he does, per SCOTUS, while President is legal, than what do you impeach him for? Also, you guys voted in a red House and Senate, so that’s not happening on a good day.

I’m getting very tired of happy happy joy joy style and unrealistic posts. We need to talk raw reality here, people.

A giant power vacuum was just created. The diplomacy and global stability superpower just perished. What we will see is more countries chewing on themselves and one another going forward.

I did vote for Bernie. I know. But this isn’t helping. Regret about stuff you didn’t do changes nothing. We can’t be Uncle Rico about this. What can we do now? Anything?

It’s easy to break stuff. Building up the United States of America again? Probably not. Rome has fallen.

Worse, this creates a giant power vacuum globally. We’re already seeing bits of it from his last presidency in Russia and Israel.

West Coast secession would remove the California GDP.

People have children. They need to be fed and have healthcare. You don’t get either without a job.

This is how terror works.

We’re not having another election. Accept that right now. At most they will be Putin style “elections”.

I think they’re a little optimistic to assume any elections that aren’t Putin style going forward. We are done as We The People. The American Experiment is over.

That feeling in your belly? That need to huddle with your people, in closeness and silence? It’s the waiting room. Because you don’t know what we are going to be yet, but it’s not going to be a democracy and it’s not going to be America.

Wishful thinking is part of how we got here.

Full embrace on the rabid polar bear, is it? They’re not even going to pretend.

Can I at least have Christmas before it begins?

Talking ideals here not actuals. Ofc they don’t. They should. But they don’t. I’m aware we live in a political duopoly.

We know. The DNC doesn’t care. Remember, RNC and DNC are money managers.

Remember, his candidacy was stolen from him by the DNC. If anyone has the right to rail at the DNC it is Bernie.

Where would the working class be right now if he’d been the 2016 guy?

Where does it go? The balance sheet should be public.

It happened because people are dumb. They think he’s bringing 2016-2020 prices with him. He’s not. There was dumb in the Harris campaign approach too, but that would add too much for one post. I voted for her, but even so.

And remember what’s on the slash list: social security and Medicare. How many of you 45+ people have a retirement? Anything you start now won’t be enough without the benefit of social security. Which you should get because you’ve been buying into it your entire work life.

And remember Elon? The guy said well have to learn to tighten our belts for a while. Endure some hardship. Like we haven’t been doing that already. I wonder if unions will be federally legal after he’s done.

Preexisting conditions anyone? You’re well and truly fucked.

Small business? Well. That’s not happening.

Wanna buy a house? Yea that’s still not happening either.

Rent going down? Again. No.

The list goes on.

…

My partner last night before he went to bed in a Benadryl induced sleep: I’m going to be spending more time in the woods if he wins. No you’re not. You’re going to be working 60hrs a week to keep up and so am I.

Which will probably be the point of the Elon Musk / Trump economy.

It’s Newsweek, and Newsweek is a bit ratch, as publications go.

Everyone’s been talking to grandma this cycle. The grandmas are out in force.

Respect granny and go do the same.

So if he tried to jump the line to vote, got arrested, and now can’t vote. Sound strategy.

According to polling the last couple weeks, this is probably accurate.

The republicans we know said today to expect trouble and to gas up and get groceries and just hunker down for a while. Which is not at all ominous.

I won’t be watching. I’m going out to my shop at 8. No internet out there. And probably not emerging until dead of night or early morning. Then, like a lot of other women, I’ll check on my status as a person going forward.

My other half is taking Benadryl and forcing himself to go to bed. He’s given strict instructions not to wake him, even if it’s good news, with a clear Kamala win. (Yea, trouble later, but it’ll still tell us what We The People decided up front, and that means a lot.)
