Tuesday is going to be fucking ugly. Wednesday is going to be worse.
Nov 6 - Jan 21 is going to be tense. But, if Harris wins it’ll be worth it.
Nothing will make this bullshit worth it. Not even a good president, and all Harris has going for her is that she's not trump.
"all Harris has going for her is that she's not trump" is a whole fucking lot right now, bud.
Another woman, a girl actually, who never saw her 20th birthday, was just murdered by Texas politicians and voters for having a miscarriage.
It's a good reason to vote for her, but it's nothing special. Most people aren't trump. Nixon wasn't trump. I'd vote for Nixon over trump. That doesn't mean he'd be a good president.
Oh, okay, what are you talking about?
I don't care if Tuesday's fucking ugly
and Wednesday’s worse
Thursday, Friday, no remorse
Monday we’ll all fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, realize we all smell like farts
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start…
It’s Friday, I’m ~~in love~~ still fucking glad I voted
I don't care if Monday's filing cases without evidence to clog the courts
Tuesday's prematurely declaring victory and Wednesday accusing fraud because vote count went overnight due to unsupported and disproven gop challenges of voting machines
Thursday, trucks with ski masked people pulling up to the Capitol with assault rifles
It's Friday, I'm in a camp for suspected Marxist socialist antifahs!
Monday, barricades at politician's homes can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my elderly neighbor's hip when cops break the door down at the wrong home and tackle her for being a suspected "illegal"
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start because musk/trump dept of efficiency has outlawed clocks and calendars so there can be no more legal labor challenges of unpaid overtime, no weekends and no holiday pay
It's Friday, I'm in only the second week of trump's second, never-ending term as America's dictator clumsily toppling 250+ years of democracy
You know you can do the right thing here. Go register, go vote. It's fast, simple and painless. You know we have to tell ourselves the above could never happen here to feel safe, but you also know it's closer to reality then ever before and you can do something, right now.
Wait until all the bullshit ramps up by Saturday. I totally imagine escalating bullshit for several weeks if not more.
I really think people are going to die.
And that’s why I vote by mail.
