Start getting into a resistance mindset. People have a rapidly vanishing window to organize for what's coming. Biden or Trump this cycle it doesn't really matter that much, Democrats and their supporters are simply are not equipped to resist fascism. We've reached the terminal end of the lesser of two evils, and it's going to be bad. Genocide Joe won't save us.

Someone has already opened an opportunity for me to move to the UK, but for non-political reasons. Though it will remain an option.

Regardless of whom is elected, I’m going to keep listening to Bernie Sanders’s podcast, which I just discovered.

He’s just a few episodes in and is still learning, but it’s gonna be a really good podcast.

Probably enjoy the peace and quiet on social media when all the right- wing… I mean- “far left” propagandists disappear after succeeding in getting their beloved fascist elected.

It happens every four years. It’ll happen this year as well.

The irony of YOU asking this probably isn’t lost on anyone I’d assume.

Just keep on living without trying to let the complete bullshit affect my well being.

Why wouldn't you want a man-baby rapist pedophile as president? He's good enough for the republicans.

Well don’t come to Europe. No vacancies!

Lol. Opportunity to be on the other side of the brain drain effect but refuse it. Fine, some other continent will reap the benefits of a bunch of smart expats.

Same as every year the country gets shittier, keep trudging along, voting, and hoping things improve. The way things are set up here I can't feasibly leave, even moving in country would be a beast to save and prep for let alone out of country.

The "Freedom" we have is voting every couple years and that's it. Even then they have tried everything possible to strip the voice of the majority of Americans. We are pretty fucking powerless for the most part.

Ill see what happens, presidents like to talk big before they're elected, but if everything really goes down the shitter, and project 2025 is successful I'll seriously consider leaving. Very fortunately I am British by decent. Not the greatest improvement but a significant one nonetheless.
