They didn’t give a shit about children getting slaughtered in schools for decades. They won’t start caring now.

Can only talk about myself, so please take this and any other advice with a grain of salt. Every person is different and reacts differently to this.

The headspace he’s in right now is one of utter confusion and emptiness. For now the dread might be gone. But he is probably far from ok. What he needs right now is love. And I don’t mean hugs and kisses and shit.

Let me explain it this way: He needs normality in a cozy environment. Friends or family around him to have idk like a pizza together while playing games or watching something he’s interested in. The important part is that they are there in person and not everything revolves around him, but with him. If that makes sense?

He doesn’t need an intervention kind of “we love you” bs, which to me sounds like hell on earth. He needs to live the love. Cherish others while being cherished.

I hope my word salad helps. Sorry I woke up two hours too early and my brain is still trying its best booting up.

“Hard to overstate how terrible morale is inside of this campaign — and how much anger/resentment is felt toward the candidate.”

Aha. And you still ended up helping him. Shut up.

Is this the second elderly who got punched in the face this election by a magat? I think it's the second elderly punched in the face by a magat.

The entire process of the electoral college makes no sense at all. The only thing it accomplishes is making some peoples votes better than others. Which is so fucked up if you think about it.

That one party (the Republicans, just to be clear about that) tries to invalidate votes and tries to make voting as hard as possible AND THEN gets away with it.

That for the last 8 years one party keeps nominating a criminal who keeps admitting that he wants to fuck the country into the dirt. And people still vote for him. Every country has its idiots, but they usually are in the 5%-10% range. In the US it's almost 50% of the voters. That is remarkable.

Oh, and the two party system sucks, too. They are not the same, fuck everyone who says they are. But it still does suck.

The democrats could lead the entire election from the very first vote onwards, and he will still declare himself the winner. The next weeks will be very bumpy for the Americans. Let’s just hope it will only be weeks.

I like fruit, but not like that. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I just don’t swing this way, you know?

Ffs, I can’t go back to Terraria while I am preoccupied with wrapping my head around Factorios Space Age.

At least you postet this in the right community.

I assume you aren’t trolling, so here is what will happen when implemented: After about two weeks you will have blocked everyone who isn’t you, your alt accounts or a bot.

“Creating an echo chamber” is said a lot when people talk about blocking, banning and defederating. Sometimes it is justified, sometimes it’s utter bullshit. What you suggest, blocking people because you don’t like how they vote, is beyond bonkers. And I say this as someone who at times can be quite trigger happy with the block feature.

PS: “Everyone but me is a moron” is the mark of the moron.
