If it happens and I'm still in this hell hole probably just die.

some of us are not allowed to vote so doing the same thing as the last election

hope people one day quit voting for one of the demopublicans and choose some third party

as an american dissident unable to vote it feels like trapped in a country that does not want us deciding things or having a voice of any kind just here to be a disposable warm body

yes it is like that rick and morty episode with the body theme park you know things are dying and rotting and falling apart around you but that is the extent of your powers unless someone on the outside intervenes

Continue on as a wage slave hoping to get like a couple weeks vacation eventually.

I plan to leave the country anyway. Shit’s getting too weird in the US.

No joke- moving to Canada. Arrwngements are already made. We live 2-3 hours away as it is, so it wouldn’t be a huge change for us.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (4 children)

But at the same time, it also will be a huge change. You'll be reading about things happening in another country.

I live in a very conservative place in the south where even the queer people are here pretty conservative hopefully he doesn't win... Didn't think I needed to spell it out until I remembered the people I live around so yeah I guess it makes sense 🥲

[–] Vitaly@feddit.uk 8 points 2 years ago

Im not american but i would jump off a cliff if that happens

[–] Whisper06@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

Just die I guess

[–] books@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Part of me thinks we get what we deserve.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

Except it's not we. The majority's vote is overruled by the electoral college.

[–] krush_groove@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Luckily I'm already out of the country but I don't think will go well if that happens.

Every now and then I have to remind myself that America was founded by religious nutjobs and colonized by industrialists.

[–] White_Flight@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

The same shit I did today
