If this shift is both A)right and B) representative across states, Harris is looking at over 400 electoral votes on Tuesday. I feel crazy just typing that

The good news is that Biden is president this time, not trump. Plus the immunity for protecting democracy by ruthlessly enforcing election integrity

Maybe this is overly generous, but I kind of feel like Elon genuinely believes he's a special genius who can "save" the world and usher in a nominally benevolent techno-oligarchy with him at the helm. So he supports trump because a) trump will let him do whatever he wants without regulation or enforcement, and b) Harris won't, and she might take a look at his accounting and government contracts.

Also maybe because Ketamine

I posted twice, automod got one of them, but the other was gloriously empowering. Can recommend 8/10 Edit: I'm definitely a lurker though. We have value and votes, and are important to the ecosystem!

Honestly, me too and I don't have much of a plan. I tried doing some pushups the other day and was shocked how much capacity I've lost. Following the wisdom that the hardest part of a run is lacing up your shoes, i'm just telling myself to do something every day. 3 sets of pushups. Squats during ad breaks. Walk to the store for a snack. That kind of thing A little bit of physical activity is a great distraction from the anxiety in my head

I'm a big fan of Khan's efforts, but I don't know that I'm ready to judge Harris for not giving her a full-throated defense. Her campaign is extraordinarily disciplined and focused in their topics and messaging, and digressing to FTC appointments could easily not be advantageous. I hope Harris wins and Khan is even more empowered for the sake of our country, but the crap of FPTP reality is that Harris simply Has to win
