I genuinely feel bad for people who have to go out and brave picket lines and white dudes with guns, just to vote...and this is in the most "developed" nation and self-proclaimed leader of the free world.
Fuck large swathes of America for using its collective resources (and therefore economic and military power) to hide behind, so they can live out their facist/racist fantasies in gun-riddled bubbles of isolation*.
*By isolation, I mean culturally and lack of travel etc...as far as I can tell some of these bubbles are at least as big as individual states.

Please look after yourselves America.
I'm oddly relaxed about the election itself, but I'm very worried about what the crazies might do on the day and in the aftermath (no matter the result).

Elections starts tomorrow and I didn't see a OT for it.
I'm going to put as much effort in this OT as the current administration did to battle COVID-19.
Congrats on making what is arguably going to be one of the most historical threads on the internet.
Wanted to post a couple things off the top of my head that might be helpful for people who plan on voting tomorrow:
-ABOVE ALL: YOUR #1 PRIORITY ON TUESDAY SHOULD BE TO GET YOUR VOTE IN!!!
-Remember: NO ONE has the right to ask or know who you are voting for while you're at the polling station. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER IF SOMEONE ASKS!
-Do not engage or confront anyone being obnoxious about their chosen candidate. Get in, vote, get out. Do not risk getting ejected from your polling place.
-Likewise, do not BE obnoxious about YOUR chosen candidate. Same reasons as above.
-If you are in line at your polling area before polls officially close, you have the right to vote! Stay in line!
-If you are told by a poll worker that you are not eligible to vote, but you believe you are: In many states, you can give a sworn statement to the poll worker that you satisfy the qualifications to vote in your state, and then proceed to cast a ballot.
-If you see or experience any voter intimidation or suppression, PLEASE CALL the following from a safe area:

I absolutely can´t wait. Feels like forever until tomorrow. I want to see the orange cry baby humiliated.
Final Morning Consult state polls.
Y'know...I know some people from Indiana. Trump +11 fits in perfectly with my personal experiences.
