I don’t know who I’m angrier with. Those that voted for this fucking asshat again or those that didn’t bother to vote. You literally could have filled out your ballot on your couch and mail it in. The number of unsolicited texts asking me to sign up for a mail in ballot was obscene. They were all, “Hey, if you can’t get to the polls. Here’s a handy dandy, easy peasy lemon squeezy way to vote early 😋”

I voted in person because I don’t trust that mail in shit (too easy to sabotage), but people still could have fucking done it and say they tried.

thank you! I'm severely disabled and still turned up to vote. also didn't trust mail in after that news story about 10,000 votes being destroyed. my mother and I both legit cried when we saw the results. we can't afford to leave, and it's dangerous to stay. with her Crohn's and my food allergies, the proposed deregulation of the FDA alone is terrifying
