Well, I've been losing sleep and having anxiety attacks over the possibility that he might worm his way back into office again, so no sympathy

I've slept maybe 6 hours since Tuesday.
Just gonna white knuckle it till Tuesday.
Yeah same tbh. But also I don’t expect this shit to really wrap up one way or another in anything less than a week, and then who knows what Johnson will try to pull at the electoral vote count in December…
This thing needs to be a blow out to keep it out of the SC.
Kamala needs to end Tuesday dominantly. 5/7 swing states +Iowa. Its gotta be such that they can't get one case alone to the SC that changes the results.

One thing that I've found with anxiety that can help is volunteering and other things that help dem turnout. It moves the needle a little and if nothing else it makes you feel productive and some more degree of agency besides just voting yourself
Can find some phone banks, canvasing, and text banks near you
Also another small thing that can also help is reminding and encourage any dem leaning friends, family, etc. to go out and vote. Helps more than you'd think
Yep. And I think he will win too. I’ve been playing with the ABC/538 and Harris’ chances just seem so slim to me.
I just want to see something reassuring at this point.
Reassurance is women are out-voting men by 10pts in early voting.
Fully 35% of black voters say they plan to vote on election day alone.
538 gave 59% odda GOP to take the Senate in 2022.
Not only do these polls have a margin of error, but they are only predictive insofar as their likely voter models are accurate, and registration volatility and GOP crossover support for Harris means they likely aren't.
There is no evidence that the low propensity incel bro vote is churning out as hoped.
I happen to live in a Republican controlled district in one of the swing states. The people who are enthusiastic about Trump are extremely enthusiastic. As in, flying Trump-Vance flags in their truck down a major thoroughfare.
And, the Muslim population here may very well not be bluffing and vote for Trump instead of Harris - or simply not vote at all. The Israel-Gaza issue is HUGE here.
Unless our major city pulls through for us, Trump will win our state.
The odds are also stacked against Harris based on how electoral votes are counted. If you ask me who I think will win the popular vote, I think Harris will win. It’s just that the game is so stacked, and Republican controlled regions are, well, making it hard to vote.
Did I mention SCOTUS is not impartial?
Any Muslim voting for Trump fully deserves the shit that will rain down on their countrymen if Trump wins. That’s literally the dumbest thing they could be doing, even worse than not voting or voting for “Free Palestine”.

Him losing sleep could actually kill him, I wish him many a sleepless night.
Honestly though I hope he just strokes out from the high blood pressure
I want his death to be so nonchalant that nobody even realizes he's actually dead.
like, he goes to take a shit and dies on the toilet and nobody notices for like a day.
and when they find him hes all riggered up and covered in shit and piss.
and the person to find him is a secretary he's treated like shit for years. she takes pics of him, sells them for a huge amount of money, and everyone mocks him for the next two generations.
and in every history book, the last line will be about how he died covered in his own urine and feces.
He was a piece of shit. In his final moments, he was comforted by his kin.

My feeling is that he'll never face any real tangible consequences for all the shit he's put the world through. He'll have his final Big Mac Attack and dodge justice for good. Permanent delay tactic.

As much as I'd love it for him to stop being a threat to all that is good on this planet in the most final of ways; We're still in some deep shit even if he were to drop stone dead right this minute between his mob of dickhead supporters, and his running mate.
...Actually I have to go look up what happens if the president elect dies right before he's elected.

People need to go out and fucking vote, nothing is in the bag for Harris, especially since republicans want to legally contest every single fucking fair and free election. Traitorous losers
Kamala needs to go fire and brimgstone with her presidency so we don't have to spend the next several decades years with every election being "maintain the status quo or become the fourth reich"

He not anxious about the election, it's the fact he goes to jail for all of his evil shitfuckery if he loses. No amount of microphone fellatio will alay his worry about atoning for his disgusting existence.

Good. You orange fuck. You rapist. Racist fucking shit stain asshole. I hope the rest of your sleeps are troubled. May the tightness in your neck grip ever harder in your final days. I hope you’re too much of a coward to commit suicide and you have to live with your actions and see your narcissistic collapse bring the house of cards down.
You’ve forced me to move my family to Germany because of the fascist movement you’ve brought to the US. You’ve had me doomscrolling since at least 2015. You’ve had me changing my travel plans checking flights out of Toronto in order to avoid flying from the US after your inauguration date so that my latino family will have no in-person interaction with any government agent from your regime despite their being citizens. You’ve fucking disrupted an entire world order due to your complicity with Duginism because of your insatiable greed and character flaws leading to Russian kompromat on you, or you’re just a piece of shit because you need the Russian money to keep coming.
You should be in jail at best, and facing a similar fate to Mussolini at worst. So fuck off with your sleepless nights you fucking weak minded piss poor excuse for a person.

New poll just dropped showing him down by 3 in Iowa(!) I hope he never gets another good night's sleep as long as he lives.
Woah that's that benchmark tracking poll everyone was hoping to see him "only" up 5

Polls are meaningless, GO OUT AND VOTE
Anything that weakens him before his second coup attempt is good in my book.

It’s be really cool if he lost his freedom for all the crimes we know he’s committed…
Shit... I'd settle for the ones he's been convicted of.
Florida voter here... I stood in line for about 45 minutes today for early voting. Women outnumbered men by at least 8 to 1 while I was there, which I found a bit encouraging. I enjoyed being able to vote against Matt Gaetz, and I only wish DeStains was on the ballot too so I coulda voted against his dumb-ass as well...

At least he gets to catch up on his sleep during court appearances eh?
I just want to know he's not going to be president again. We can't know that for sure until Tuesday evening at the earliest. I'll never forgive Republicans for putting us through this.

But not too tired to spend 5 minutes pretending to be a fast food worker or garbage truck driver.
He may be getting close to that point though. Did you see how hard is was for him to get up into that truck?
Lack of sleep and obesity at that age can trigger heart attacks. God willing.

Low energy. SAD!
Anything that precipitates his inevitable natural death is welcome. Even if he loses the election this asshole will divide and weaken the West as long as he draws breath.
