So... who else here keeps having to get over moments of major anxiety and dread about the U.S. election next week? (lemmy.world)

And it won't even be over on Tuesday no matter who wins.

I just have to start distracting myself when it happens.

I'm voting for Kamala but it's not like her victory will remove that threat to queer people and minorities. All the people that want to harm them will still be here gearing up for the next election and blocking anything positive from happening. It will never end.

"Threat" vs. Genocide.

I think I know which is safer for my kid.

Kamala is not going to make your kid safe.

From a literal genocide Trump is planning? Of course they will. What a silly thing to say. You remind me of people making the ludicrous claim after Roe got struck down that SCOTUS would have done it with Hillary’s justice picks too.

Sure it's better than Trump, but that doesn't mean she will be safe. All the people who want to harm her will still be out there working to do so. This doesn't go away when Trump loses.

Me: I think I know which is safer for my kid.

You: but that doesn’t mean she will be safe.

Are you seeing the issue here?
