It's mainly the DNC's fault for pushing Hilary over Sanders in 2016. And the voters' fault too for listening to them.

Seriously; why is no one bringing this up? I saw the largest lines I've ever seen at a polling location; WAY more than 2020, yet nobody voted? Give me a fucking break. The Republicans have a history of doing exactly what they accused the other side of doing. It's fishy as hell.

Furthermore, how the hell were we able to get the results the same night of election day? For as long as I can remember, it would take at least a week minimum before we had any clue who won. Yet somehow they were able to process ballots much faster this time? Give me a fucking break.

Edit: Also, does no one else find it odd that progressive ballot measures overwhelmingly won in several states that turned red?

I'm cutting out everyone in my life who voted Trump or 3rd party. This includes my parents, all of my siblings, and my in-laws. They don't realize the damage they've done. I can't even stand to look at them anymore, so I won't.

Belirge me, brother, I'm trying. I'm not there yet but one day hope I will find my people. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you my friend. I really appreciate your words of encouragement. ❤️❤️❤️

That was my dad's favorite quote. Funny you mentioned it. It means a lot to me, even if it was a coincidence. Thank you ❤️❤️

❤️ I won't because of wonderful people like you. Much love and hopefully we gsn get past these dark days as a whole. ❤️

I feel for you. Thank you for the encouragement. I don't know what the future holds but at least we're not alone in this struggle. ❤️

I have a girlfriend and family and yet I'm still considering ending it all. Someone please bring me strength. My entire family is either against me or apathetic and I just can't take it anymore. I've struggled with depression all my life but between losing my job recently and seeing these election results, I think I've reached my breaking point.

No sleep will come my way tonight, either. I plan on continuing to drink and smoke until I pass out but I'm only going to regret this tomorrow once the hangover kicks in and brings me to an even lower low. I don't know what else to do, though. I'm surrounded by fucking idiots who obviously didn't realize just exactly what was at stake for the future of not only the county, but the whole god damn planet.

I know I'm screaming into the void here but like so many other of us, I need to fucking vent. Either help me or ignore this comnent; nothing matters anymore.

Edit: you have no idea how of an impact you've just made with your words. These are dark times but we've all been through worse. Thank you for the hope, and here's to a scary and uncertain future. 🎉😭

I would but I'm too depressed to even leave the house most days.

Has nothing to do with the election; that's just my default behavior.

~~What's more amazing is that no one is saying "is America ready for a woman president?" this time around, like they were in 2016. It's refreshing, but also sad that it took this long.~~

Never fucking mind. At this point I decide whether suicide or applying for a green card is the easier option.
