A US Election Thread Where We Will Be Nice to One Another (but not to seditionists)

We’ve had no surges of cases in my area with mass protesting and outdoor masked gatherings. So I’m not worried about the celebrations. I am concerned about the unmasked Trump/voter fraud protests I’m seeing right now.

Do you have links to anyone tracking them etc? Want to send my bro’s way so he can keep an eye and bug out to my place if stuff gets spotty.

Lol even my small daily acts thread over on mmm, full of people who have spent 4 years working for this, immediately turned into a frown fest.

I’m celebrating on Facebook. :joy:

Yeah, I completely agree. It was disheartening to see various forms of no-Trumpists or other calls for ideological purity checks in a lot of my queer groups the past few days.

Would you be willing to elaborate on what you disagree with on the Biden platform? I really value your perspective! If not publicly, then via PM? If not, I get it :slight_smile:

My neighbor went to the celebration in our neighborhood and said it was crowded like Pride.
Hard pass for me. I want to be out there too, but I fear this is going to be another spike in the making. And we’re already exponentially increasing by, like, a lot.

Yeah, I don’t even do crowds in the best of times. :sweat_smile:

Biden is making a speech at 8 eastern- maybe first part of the livestream as a watch party? It’ll probably be coherent!

Watch party at 5PM/8PM - tune into Biden’s speech in another tab and we’ll do reactions in mine

Just not enough internet out here for both, sorry.

This movement was complete news to me, and they already have almost 200 electoral votes worth of states signed up to it. It’s a way to partially fix the mismatch between popular vote and electoral college without a constitutional amendment

I hadn’t heard about that either!

I’m embarrassed to say that I had no idea IL was part of this.

Is there a special residence for the VP, or do they just live like rich normies?
