I wonder how folks feel about that write in ballot, or voting for a third party, or not voting at all, now that the supreme court is decided for a generation and the threats to Roe v Wade, ACA, voting rights, etc. etc. have been made crystal clear.

In less than 4 years we've gone from the peaceful transfer of power following an election as a given, to a president who is priming the public that he will contest the result.....unless his open efforts to suppress votes allow him to remain in power.
We are in for quite a ride over the next several months.

I have friends in the U.S, they're fine with where their country is at. I asked them if they wished Hillary won and they said hell no.
Objectively to us it may seem like a disaster, but not to the people who actually voted republican. We tend to ignore that fact here.
