      Already voted. Thought I’d be less stressed after turning in my ballot. I’ve done all I can do. Still a little stressed though.

      I know a guy who isn’t going to vote. Haitian immigrant (not kidding). What can I say to him between now and November?

      Hey Wapo, report honestly about the felon’s severe mental decline and torrent of lies.

    6. OK_Commodor64 on

      I felt that after Harris’s summer surge there would be a tightening of the race and Trump would feel pretty good going into the election. It’s going to sting so much harder when he loses.

      Hey media, stop forcing coverage portraying this as a horse race and report honestly on both candidates and their campaigns! It’s YOUR fault people are doomscrolling!

      I finally got the nerve to post my Harris/Walz 2024 bracelets for sale in my local Facebook groups. It took less than a minute for the hate and rude comments to start. I even got threats of physical harm. Trump supporters are so full of hate. We can not let him win. Vote!

      Stuck in Alabama, one of only 3 states without early voting, waiting to vote, WaPo. Major news media needs to eat a fat dick for this bullshit journalism.

      I did as soon as I got my mail in ballot. Sent it off and got a email confirmation that it was received. Back to doom scrolling. Leave me alone 😂

    14. haysus25 on

      Already voted.

      Voted Harris/Walz and blue all the way down on my ballot; and I mailed it in today.

      I hope those in the battleground states go out and vote. We need to completely destroy MAGA.

      I’ve been doom scrolling for 2 years straight there’s no way out…

      It’s kinda hard not to doomscroll when one candidate is threatening to sick the military on people he disagrees with, and he also appears to be in a deadlocked race against the only hope for us not turning into Nazi Germany.

      Welp, I did pretty close to what I could within my means so far..

      – I donated several times.
      – I door-knocked/canvassed for the first time.
      – I reached out to friends & families of several households to make sure they were registered and had plans to vote.
      – I had conversations with anyone including Trump supporters trying to explain why I’m voting for Harris, both in terms of policies *and* character.
      – I push back online against bad faith trolls so that those on the fence at least see the other perspective.
      – My vote is cast.

      Alas, I’m sick right now, have two very young kids to tend to, and in addition to work just have lots of other irons in the fire. I’ll try to do whatever else I can in these last three weeks to contribute my drop in the ocean.

      I hope everyone is doing whatever they can. Some can do more than others, and that’s okay.

      I think most people don’t. I think most have decided and are just waiting to vote and see the results

    22. dartwingduck on

      I early voted already and am trying to convert people connected to me through social media, and will try to write more post cards.

      At this point I’ve mostly stopped looking at the pollercoaster and might have reached a state of zen.

      The country is broken and mostly was broken by the people with a bunch of money. Even if Harris wins it’s not like the country is fixed, it’s just staved off a horrible threat.

      And if Trump wins, well, I honestly did what I could this time around.

    24. zenithfury on

      You don’t need to know how well you’re polling to go and vote.

    25. mackinoncougars on

      Early voting starts Next Monday, Oct 21 here in Texas. I’ll be in line that day.

    29. radicalbadical on

      Just voted! Here’s to hoping/praying/willing Kamala to fuck up this entitled, forever-whinging prick of an authoritarian kumquat!

    30. fiesty_cemetery on

      My ballot gets mailed on my birthday. First time voting and I’m happy to cast my vote for Kamala 💙

    31. ChemicalOnion on

      Hey media, do your fucking job and stop sanewashing Von Shitzenpantz.

    32. Tokyo-MontanaExpress on

      Donate and donate again as many times as possible before voting to make that Blue Wave a tsunami.

    38. djskein on

      Don’t tell my work but I used up all my annual leave the week of the election just so I can sit in my room and doomscroll Reddit.

    40. susanlovesblue on

      What if I’m doom scrolling, but also canvassing in my battleground state?

    41. deviousmajik on

      Hey media, stop sane-washing Trump and Vance. Call them out on their shit. Stuff they say on a daily basis would be world-shattering front page news in any other election, but you shrug your shoulders and never honestly address it.

      Both are unfit for the office. You know this and yet you keep the headlines going because you want to generate ad revenue. You actively maligned someone who kicked Putin’s ass and was kicking the economy’s ass because they were moving slower and fumbled over some words because of a lifelong stutter and suggested it was dementia when it wasn’t.

      You’ve held Democrats to a standard that you HAVE NOT held Republicans to. Not even close.

      My wish is for the 2028 election (if there is one) to be covered primarily by a not-for-profit based media system that is looking to tell us the truth about Trump, Vance, Epstein, etc. and do their damn jobs in actual journalism.

      The people don’t believe you anymore, and why is that WaPo? I had a subscription, then you failed US. It was painful. But, we are done

      Pound sand WaPo. Your billionaire owners are calling and you care not to accurately report about Trump descent into madness?

      MF will be coming for you before me.

      There’s some truth here. I have a life to live. I have things to do. And here I am up at 1 in the morning scrolling Reddit.

      I will be voting. And I know how I’m voting. And I know my state is safely deep blue.

      There’s really not a lot I can do. It’s out of my hands. My reddit posts aren’t changing any minds.

      Sometimes I remember the 80s, when the only news we got was 30 minutes of local news, 30 minutes of national news, and the sunday paper. The world was still shitty and lots of horrible things were going on, but really, spending more than an hour a day persevering on it didn’t actually accomplish anything.

      I sometimes feel that the 24 hour news cycle is ultimately what polarized America. There really isn’t that much relevant content, so the filler has to be more and more extreme to attract enough viewers to sell enough ads to justify its existence.
