I admit I am quite nervous about the US election.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 10 points 2 weeks ago

I'm also nervous about what comes after the election. It's pretty clear that Trump and his supporters won't accept losing and will do everything they can to overthrow the results, so whoever wins there will be trouble. And trouble in US flows over into trouble for the rest of the world.

Good chance we might not find out the results till later in the week.

Unfortunately it’s an election that’s too close to call and I really don’t need to see him on tv every single day of the week.

Me too, for the same reasons Raven said. They call everything that's against them rigged or fake, and it makes them basically write their own narrative no matter how crazy and screw everyone who disagrees 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m trying to shut it out. There’s a lot of fear about him getting in and others saying he’s on the ropes, I don’t know.

I’m just trying to cope with each day at this point
