The only saving grace I have right now for Kamala is that hopefully more Pubs will vote dem this election than 2020.

Man, with all due respect, for your own mental health well-being and sanity, you really should consider unplugging completely from the news and from social media for the next two weeks. I cannot imagine that kind of emotional roller coaster is healthy for you. This race has not changed in weeks. It’s a close election in which Harris is a pretty decent favorite – not a guarantee by any means, but a decent favorite with almost all fundamentals and intangibles on her side. Democrats have been turning out in droves in every election since 2016 with Trump or Trumpism on the ballot- why do you think this is going to be any different?

I think we should probably just let everyone process what is, by all measures, a very close election in their own way. Some people prefer to maintain an optimistic mindset and keep whispering "everything is OK" to themselves. Others are pessimistic by nature and would rather mentally prepare themselves for the worst while hoping for the best. And others are at all points in between. There are arguments for why each approach can be helpful or harmful to your mental health, but everyone's brain works differently and I think we just need to accept that it's going to be a stressful few weeks given how distressingly close we are to electing Donald Trump president AGAIN.

Bouzy has been pretty spot on so far. He was one of the only ones who called the blue wave in 2022.

He was very accurate in 2020 and 2022, yes. He didnt call a blue wave - said there would be no red wave.

But still...the obsession with Florida is obnoxious. He's in this petty spat with the GOP lead of FL and it's very childish from both of them

While I agree, that poster started a multi-poster spiral yesterday that really really got the board in a weird spot. There's a mental health thread now to vent or type out your fears

I hear you 100%! And I think you’re absolutely 100% correct. Still though, I think there is a difference between expressing what is completely valid and legitimate concern or even fear, versus spamming the board with maniacal pessimism. Overall, though, you’re absolutely right about showing more grace and letting folks process stressors in their own way.

Then ignore me.

Dude, I don't think that most people want to put you on ignore. But when you go into your tailspin, and people start to post positive info, you tend to shit all over it with your worrying.

Look, I get it. I don't want Trump in office either. And in a sane world, he would not only be down double digits, but he wouldn't have even been the candidate. But aside from donating, voting, canvassing, etc., there is literally nothing you can do but wait.
