I also think NC will go Biden/Harris early thus literally ending the thought of a EC victory for the scumbag current resident.

But there is a nagging feeling that somebody stupid will do something stupid that can't be taken back. I think a mangled a V for Vendetta quote there.

So still high as fuck anxiety.

Gawd I wish pot was legal in NC...so beer it is.

Between the first 5 options. I haven’t been active on here for a long time, but I need to be around my fellow Democrats for the next 48 hours to avoid having to pick option 6.

in a pickup truck with 33 Trump flags - how do you think the Trumpicans feel? I would hate their numbers. Then again I think its good idea to wear a mask when there is a 9/11 death toll happening every day due to a virus for.

Shitler is going down. It is past time for the reckoning.

I also have to force myself to eat which is always a sign I'm stressed. I did go shopping today and bought a new chair for the family room and a new table lamp. That made me feel better.

the moment.

I am editing my comment to mention that this White House barricade crap is bothersome. There are already posts about it so I will just leave it at that.

I'm not really worried about winning, but everything else. It's been such a long effing time to get here, and it still is.
