Well that's not true, there's still several hours of doomscrolling and refreshing the AP page to go!

Please take me to Isengard, with the hobbits…

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

that's right. I got that love for the halfing leaf.

I can't believe that asshat is going to win again. And it's that close.

And don't forget all the protesting when Trump gets states to refuse to certify their election results!

Sorry friend, but in the immortal words of Karen Carpenter: "it's only just begun!"

We still face weeks of crippling political analysis, sensationalist reporting about phantom voter fraud, tantrums, recriminations, threats, and histrionics (if Harris wins, and probably even if trump wins his followers will still do this), hand-wringing about the far right's plans, probably some domestic terrorism, etc.

But hey, you did your part - you voted. And so did I and many others. We did all we can.

With depression, I’ll take every win I can get.

If that is just a small reprieve from the existential dread of a potential Trump win…?

Or the anxiety over needing to vote today, dealing with the crowds, getting my ballot cast, even with the rest of the shit storm on the horizon…

I’ll still take what I can get for now.

I’ll be there when I’m called upon but know that some of us are already fighting our own battles.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly. Good job. Hang in there.

Oh, it's a loooonnnggg way from done.

My part in this battle is done, the war is far from over.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Now is the part where we go back to the Shire and Saruman has burned everything down... :)

This one is over for me at least, and for now that’s enough, but tomorrow is another day.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you for doing your part!

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Wish it were that simple.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

My part is done, but the journey is far from over.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's a beginning. Regardless of the results, Americans need to become more regularly involved with their representatives. Democracy, even representative, doesn't end at the vote. Voting only puts a person in place, it doesn't hold them accountable or let them know what your concerns are.

Mark my words: It's not done until PA completes their recount.

[–] Darukhnarn 3 points 2 weeks ago

If Bush vs. gore was any indication for you, you’d know that’s most likely not true.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Signal the Eagles.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

But like the movie the shot is taken from, we've got a lot to get through before credits roll. We're watching the special editions with this one.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well, about that.

[–] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

You are a king. Feel pride my friend and rest until you are called upon again in two years
