I am super nervous but trying to be optimistic.

How about y'all?

Scared but hopeful. But between nerves and sick, having issues getting to sleep.

Also thinking that if things don't go the way we want, the next few months are going to be insanely busy at work. Because we'll need to get a lot of things rushed as much as possible for clients before those things can't be done anymore. And we'll have lots of new clients, I'm sure, scared.

Edited 2024-11-05 02:57 (UTC)

I have alexithymia, but I also have a smartwatch that tracks my heartbeat for my SVT and it's been pinging me to take my chill-pills an awful lot lately....

Cautious and watching. Not spiraling into despair, not pretending everything is forever fixed from now on. Just weirdly neutral. So I guess that's a step up from the last couple years, heh.

Maybe this is the election that makes us mature as a nation.

Pretty calm. Not because I don't worry about what's going to happen - a Trump victory would majorly shake up my life and those of many others I know - but because the time for 99% of anything decisive that will affect the course of things or change people's minds has already passed.

I early voted weeks ago and so did most people I know. Tomorrow is just when we see if it was enough.

Going to bed super early, as soon as I get home, because I doubt I'll sleep well, but I need to at least try to front-load.

My work is a polling place, I'm working until the polls close tomorrow, and I doubt I will sleep well, or possibly at all, tomorrow night. I put in for Wednesday off in case the news is bad and I'm a weepy inconsolable heap, but I'm in charge of a monthly event at work that day so I may come in for a partial day even if I really shouldn't be out in public.

I hope I get to break out my "thank fuck" 2020 playlist instead.

I'm not getting my hopes up -- most of my faith in fellow Americans to vote for a competent woman over fucking Hoggish Greedly was destroyed 8 years ago. But if the Democrats can take the House and the Senate, they might be able to at least staunch the bleeding until Trump dies in office. Even your average MAGA Republican isn't going to vote for the anthropomorphic flop sweat that is JD Vance, no matter how good his tightlining game is.

And who knows? Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

I hope Texas kicks out Ted Cruz at least.

I have my fingers crossed and are saying a prayer for y'all.

Gonna be playing some Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley after work to calm my nerves

Watching it is making me feel less worried and more excited.

A mix of nervous and trying to be hopeful. Preparing for the worst, hoping for the best, basically.

Same. Very anxious, hopeful, but not wanting to get my hopes up because... *gestures vaguely at the state of U.S. politics*

scared. I hate Trump.

Relax, Harris has it in the bag.

And even if she doesn't, all those Handmaids Tale scare-fantasies are not gonna happen either. In reality, not much will really change but the type rhetoric. But she will, so relax.

Going anon this time since the last time you pulled this "nothing will change" shit people rightfully called you on it?

he's been anon the past couple of days but he'll deny it's him of course as though he doesn't have the most obvious 'voice' of all the namies we've ever had

It's so obvious.

Stop promising things that aren't yours to promise. Telling everyone else they should stop worrying because you personally think Harris has already won is arrogance. And a dangerous thing when fascism is knocking on our door.

You may have a good feeling but that doesn't automatically extend to everyone else, and it doesn't negate all the concerns they have or the suffering they've experienced.

Don't get me wrong, I think Harris is in a much better position to win than Clinton was in 2016. I do feel more and more that she's going to be President. But feelings aren't facts. It's not over until the last vote is counted. And even then, Donnie and his bootlickers will cry and scream that the election was stolen, to recount everything and magically find new votes that work in their favor. And even after that, there may be another "Jan 6." Just because I think Dems have learned something and are likely better prepared for such an event doesn't mean it's time to "relax."

You underestimate the number of folks who believe their vote doesn't matter regardless of the situation (for the record, it *may* be true in some districts due to gerrymandering or consistent and overwhelming voter turnout of the other side, but not most). Suggesting to everyone that their fears are unfounded because "nothing will change" is just going to feed into that, and if enough people abstain from voting again, we'll just be in the same spot four years from now, except the outcome would be so much worse without enough people voting against the fascists. Not to mention, it's dismissive and rude as hell.

Die

Eventually we all do. Even you too.

Tired, cautiously alert for any signs of distress.

For the most part, I'm trying to focus on doing what I can in the area I live. A promise to myself I'll do more volunteering.
Trying to be OK with the fact that my friends have continually skipped the conversation or outright said they won't vote when I ask them if they've voted yet.

I want to believe we as a nation will vote for Kamala/Tim solely because fascism is bad, but from what I've seen and experienced, too many people don't take that threat seriously.
So...I'm going to stay in my lane and try to focus on my day to day tasks while getting a little bit of the news updates occasionally.

I work in the middle of the night so tomorrow I might not know all the election results until I leave for work/am at work.

Voting early in the morning, then going to try and keep myself calm. Scared, though, because I'm trans, my partner is trans, we look like a gay couple, etc. It feels like we're either walking to the gallows or heading toward a slight reprieve.

I don't like Harris, but until we shove the Overton window to the left so far people like Trump can't receive even a small amount of votes, I won't feel comfortable doing much.

I just looked up "Overton window" in Wikipedia. Fascinating read.

I sincerely hope you and yours weather this election well.

Stressed. I am not in a swing state, I’m nowhere near a swing state, and I’m deaf, so I can’t make calls. I’ve voted already, my family has voted, my neighbors have voted. Now we wait.
