The atmosphere is so heated, and the statements are getting more and more extreme. Let's just assume Harris wins the election. After a campaign like this, how could you ever have a normal relationship with your pro-Trump neighbor/father-in-law/Uncle/Barber or what ever again?

The simple answer, if they wrap their entire personality up into red or blue I don't associate with em anyway. The fools who believe either side cares for them is hilarious. Frankly until there is a third option to split the vote it's one giant dumpster fire regardless of which rich fuck wins.

Our regional election's up in the air as so many districts had a third party spoil it that the cruel aristocracy won. Time and time again, like some Stein nightmare made real.

Like:

progressive 48%
conservative 49%
third party splitter 3%

Our popular vote is 48.52%, 48.51%, 2.87% .

In every case the no-chance green vote killed a majority. We're going to end-up conservative, and led by a climate-change denying anti-vax Mr Burns.

Bot, #bothSides, right?
