I'm expecting WI, AZ and GA to rig their elections to give Trump the W regardless. Really don't think it matters how any of us vote and most of us here understand that we're a deeply undemocratic nation.

I had a friend who would talk a lot about US politics, and I kept trying to tell him about how Trump/Republicans have been stacking the election for 4 years... like how does anyone actually expect this to go without some sort of violence?

I remember being a kid during the 2000 election and libs just whined for 8 years.

That was pretty radicalizing for me as a kid. Seeing these people just give up in Florida despite all sorts of fishy stuff going on. Then 911. Then the MASSIVE protests against escalation into Iraq all over the world. It was incredible and fruitless. It ended up being incredibly disappointing. Protests literally do nothing.
