Any advice on how to stop stressing?

[Marius25]

I know it's still early, but the Florida results are upsetting me and it makes me worry about the other swing states. I'm just having 2016 flashbacks. I'm having seriously physical reactions from the stress.

7. I just pulled out the bottle

13. i have had a couple myself cheers!

[GitRDun]

29. It is

I think we need to just look at FL as a Trump home state and look to others for our path to win.

Also. we can't help if folks buy the "Biden is a socialist" crap.

We've got lots of paths....let's keep going!

[marlakay]

30. We need better messaging it would be worth

It to hire best company just for that. People need to realize we already have socialism they like with medicare and social security, police, firemen, teachers, etc.

Try taking away SS and medicare from people in Florida and see how they do.

32. I always try to describe it as follows

All Americans agree there is a basket of goods and services that the government provides to its citizens.

There are no socialists..communists, etc.

All we are doing is trying to decide what belongs in the basket that the government provides either because it's more cost effective or fair from a distribution perspective,


I think it changes the playing field we are arguing on.

5. unplug for a bit

Play a video game, take your mind off it for a bit

[Claustrum]

6. No need to worry. FL is the special case in 2018 blue wave.

FL became the only red state in 2018 while we had a blue wave everywhere else. FL has no indication of other states.

9. Go watch a movie for a couple hours. Preferably a comedy.

Then come back and see how things are going.

11. Scream

12. There are some posters stating a state gone w 95% of vote when no one I can find has more than 8O%

So, I'd advise you to take a lot of posts with a grain of salt--especially those touting exit polls.

There is a tendency to want to be FIRST and that is not always the same as to be ACCURATE

15. I'm almost through my bottle of Fireball. Evans Honey is next.

[redwitch]

16. I understand. Occasional breaks from the election coverage are essential.

Stand outside for a few minutes and breathe in and out slowly. Take a bubble bath?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Biden will win NY and CA for sure, which are huge and will make up for

the little pissant southern states that he wouldn't have won anyhow. Looks good in most of the upper midwest. But I get it; I'm a ball of stress, too.

[emmaverybo]

22. Thanks for sone hope.

[Marthe48]

18. I turned off MSNBC

[usedtobedemgurl]

20. I have already cried. Seriously stressing.

Please know you are not alone.

[JonLP24]

They were behind the rest of the nation when it came to the 2018 blue wave.
