12. I was sick in 2016...

Nov 2024

more so to wonder 'who are the people around me' that allowed TSF to be elected.
I have been sick, but kinda wanted to be disbelieving about the 'it's close' mantra broadcast during the run up to tonight - wanted to think it was corporate BS - but alas - it truly is a land of idiocracy! I certainly hope Harris wins and restore my faith that we at least have a majority ( or EC majority, i guess) of decency in this country.
