I am quite anxious...

[+ Italiano]

I know that Politics are not allowed here and if this topic has to be erased I apologize for having opened it. No names, no Parties.

But I just want to share that it is a VERY important day for the USA. We are extremely divided, and voting for maintaining this Country a Democracy is absolutely vital.

 

GO OUT AND VOTE! (And hopefully the majority of people will vote for whom I am voting for...)

Don’t be anxious - just vote. Then have an irish coffee.  You’ll be fine! 😁

I prefer a glass of Brunello di Montalcino, but thanks!

I share the feeling. I am about to go vote today.

Great idea. I'll have both.

That's a suave choice.

Just to add, several legislatures, including those in California, Colorado, Hawaii, New York, and South Dakota, have placed measures on the ballot aimed at safeguarding LGBTQ+ rights, covering everything from marriage equality to anti-discrimination protections.

If issues like these matter to you, please take the time to research these measures on your own in your state.

I voted early last week in NV.  While I understand the anxiety people are having, I also have faith in the young people voting this year who have grown up reading books, watching movies and playing video games about what a dystopian future means and to avoid it at all costs.

Yes, voting is vital to our Republic.  I voted early in Nevada, and I dropped off mail ballots for a few of my housemates this morning.

I am hoping things turn out Great again; but, I am not anxious.  It's out of my control now, so I won't waste time thinking about it.

I dropped off my mail-in ballot on Friday. Checked online & verified that it has been received and will be counted. 👍

[kingsley88]

Only thing I can control is the fact I voted.

I survived 2000-2008 and 2016-2020 so whatever the outcome I'll be fine. 

If anything, I'm just glad I won't get these texts/emails asking for $$$ anymore. Both parties have fundraised so much money!

I know I'll be fine, but I'm concerned about children watching the news and constantly hearing name calling, personal attacks like "fat pig" directed at those who disagree with us, women being judged by their looks exclusively, etc.

My disability check covers my rent with $200 left over to cover my luxuries like food, insurance, and medical bills.

I am going to be totally fucked. 

I have 2 1/2 months to win the lottery.

At least we are not sore losers!

I don't see how.  Food stamps help with the food bills and Medicaid will cover everything if you are low income.  I haven't seen or read of any cuts in disability payments.

Gentlemen, this topic was always going to be close to the line on politics, but was avoiding it by talking about feelings on the day. Talking about policies, the actions of players or perceived players in how the day went, or what effect it will have on you clearly cross the line into content that we don't allow. Please go back to the sort of general discussion that we began with.

I’m not anxious, I’ve spent my life adjusting my sails to recognize reality rather than deny it.   I hope the winner unites us and doesn’t divide us. Political remarks redacted.  Either way, I believe this is THE greatest country in the world!

It feels like 2016 all over again. Not at all what I expected. Stay calm and carry on.

I do not think so. Trump also won the popular vote this time, so USA's support to him is loud and clear, without electoral college misrepresentation.

Already planning a lot of  spending $ and   sexual distractions  to get my mind on other things.  Flying to Paris next week to check in at the Guerlain spa for some self care and hooking up with hot french guys.
