    Meh, I don’t think things are bleak.

    I’m not afraid of Harris. I’m not afraid of Trump.

    I don’t like either one. I’m not voting for either one. But I don’t think the future is bleak at all.

      What I was referring to is progress via government. There is no reality where we get what we want for a very long time. If we blow this now by sitting it out we just extend that timeline exponentially.

      I wish I had your optimism, but I don’t see anything to be hopeful for in that respect.

        Well I’m old. EVERY elections, regardless of who wins, the losing side has the exact same feelings as you are feeling right now. The world hasn’t ended. The world won’t end. I promise.

        At the end of the day, regardless of who wins, I can go to a park and watch the trees, and birds and kids playing in the park. Here in suburbia, not of that stuff really changes. Sure, it’s important to vote your values, but the world isn’t gonna end anytime soon.

          You’re not a woman, are you. You still have the legal right to do what you want with your body.

          I’ve heard it said some women are very angry about that.

              You’re not allowed to have an abortion even if your life is threatened? And you don’t think voting either way will help you or any other women huh.

              Ok.

                What makes you think I feel that way? I’ve never said that I think that is a good thing.

                And you do realize that there are a lot of women not voting for Harris, right? That’s why the race is so tight. Not everyone agrees with you or your views. That’s the way things are, friend. Plenty of women vote for Trump.

                I’m not voting for Trump though. Thank you!

                  It’s . . not a feeling, it’s federally-supported law in many states. Are you saying you think it’s a bad thing but you won’t be doing anything to help?

                  Actually, nevermind. Good luck.
