    American voters will coauthor the entire 21st century within the next week. I think it really is that big of a deal, given the few plates I see spinning right now.

      It would fascinating to see how the next hundred years unfold depending on the outcome of this election. I would love to be able to compare the two timelines and see just how wildly different they can be.

      Unfortunately, we only get one timeline, so we better not fuck it up.

    Terrifying. That we could cease to be American in a week. Instead becoming whatever this mentally ill man’s concept of a country is instead. He doesn’t care about voting or the constitution, he’s said as much on multiple occasions. He’s proved as much on Jan 6.

    I am not someone who hangs flags but my god. This vote is now coming down to whether or not you’re a patriot of this country. The republic is dead if this man wins.

    Ha! Of course the liberal media doesn’t talk about all the times Harris called the her opponents fascists. That’s equivalent right? Name calling?

        Sorry, thought the obtuseness was a good replacement for /s but we are kind of living in a post-intellectual era.

        In other words my original reply was ironic.

          I’ve got a pretty good sense for these things, and yours is certainly a case of Poe’s law, because I’ve heard nearly the same exact argument used in all seriousness many times.
