Who Else is Tired of Waking to a Fresh New Hell, Every Damn Day?

[OhioChick]

8 More Days and We Vote These Fuckers Out.

I've fucking had it. VOTE!

I miss you all!

1. K&R

[JCMach1]

2. Election Day is 1 month to the day I left the hospital with Covid

After coming close to being killed by the orange douche's policies I am planning to enjoy the victory to the Nth.

[OhioChick]

3. I'm so sorry....

I hope you're recovering well and wish you the very best.

[JCMach1]

6. There are so many people who have been physically devastated

By the virus, I don't even like to talk about it much, but my lungs may, or may not heal. I could well be looking at permanent disability.

On the positive side, I'm alive, kicking and trying very hard to get back to normal.

Normal should really include decent human beings in charge of our country!

[OhioChick]

9. I'm sorry that this has affected you so badly...

There are many that are recovering lung function that have had long-term issues. Keep the faith and I'm sending you positive vibes for a full recovery.

[uriel1972]

4. My condolences on your illness...

And I wish you a Merry Biden/Harrismas...

May this wish come true for you and all of us...

[Olafjoy]

5. So tired of doomscrolling every morning

[OhioChick]

11. What exactly do you mean by that? n/t

[OhioChick]

22. Please do tell....I'm still waiting. n/t

[vercetti2021]

31. Well I can explain it

It means looking at all the naysayers basically saying Trump closing the gap, GOP voting will cut our leads down on election day voting, not enough youth has voted near the 2016 levels yet.

Its usually concern trolling. It's on here every day now. People are comparing this to 2016 and its not even close. Hillary was collapsing in the polls at this point in 2016. Biden has not only maintained a lead for a while now, hes higher than Obama was in 2008.

[OhioChick]

32. Thanks for the explanation but you shouldn't have had to do it....

I expected "someone" else to.

I believe we're doing phenomenal, just exhausted and waiting for our win!

Trolling is acceptable on DU now, who would've thought? LOL

Thanks!

[vercetti2021]

40. It's concern trolling it's nothing new

It's like that every single day

[OhioChick]

41. I've been here since '04 and have been too busy lately to post....

Jesus, how do you all deal with it?

[vercetti2021]

43. Trash

Mostly all I do before telling them concern duly noted. I get so sick of it and I end up leaving for the day and just lurk.

[OhioChick]

45. Don't let them drive you away! n/t

[vercetti2021]

54. Na I always come right back

I just withhold myself so I don't blow up at anyone

[OhioChick]

55. Don't we still have an ignore function here?

If so, use it.

[vercetti2021]

56. We do

I use it for the low posters that are more concerning

[OhioChick]

58. Don't let them distract you...

Use it liberally.

[vercetti2021]

70. I do my dear

[OhioChick]

81. Good...

Many are everyone to get us down. Don't let them.

[vercetti2021]

85. Lot of posts about it are popping up

Like I think everyone is tired of the concern trolling

[OhioChick]

86. Plants to make us feel weak...n/t

[vercetti2021]

93. Not my plant!

My special mary plant

[OhioChick]

94. .....

[Duppers]

69. My curiosity made me google

Who knew, that's a new term?...

Doomscrolling and doomsurfing are new terms referring to the tendency to continue to surf or scroll through bad news, even though that news is saddening, disheartening, or depressing. Many people are finding themselves reading continuously bad news about COVID-19 without the ability to stop or step back.

Merriam-Webster



Hugs, sweet friend, from the embarrassed gal who owes you email, along with an apology & explanation.

[OhioChick]

82. Yes, "that one" had me scratching my head, too....

So apparently, I'm now "continuously reading bad news about Covid-19?"

Sorry, to the above poster but I hear about it daily, my family are all healthcare workers. We LIVE it.

I've missed you so! I understand, all hell is breaking loose. Sending you hugs....

[Duppers]

87. 💕 to you, my dear friend.

I intend to catch up...i do think of you often.

[OneBlueSky]

7. Obama may have said it best . . . after Joe wins, life be "so much less exhausting" . . .

I may not have the quote exactly right, but that's how he phrased it in Philly . . . he's right . . .

[OhioChick]

13. I agree and anxiously await for that day, love both Obama and Biden! n/t

[Meowmee]

8. Yes

I will not believe it until I see it... it is going to be an enormous psychological and physical relief. I also survived covid in April and I don’t feel back to normal, chronic back pain after the pneumonia, My lungs are much more sensitive, worse asthma and more is going on with me and my family. I think lifting this terrible burden will help me begin to heal more.

[OhioChick]

15. I believe that we will win....

I think a great majority of the Country is going to be left with PTSD after dealing with this.

I'm so sorry that you have had on-going battles with Covid and am hoping in time you heal and have a full and complete recovery.

[Meowmee]

19. Yes I hope so👍🏻

Ptsd for sure, it has been more than 4 years of torture starting with the campaign... I think being rid of it will help everyone start to heal. Thanks💕

[OhioChick]

25. We got this....

I truly believe that. Keep the faith!

[dameatball]

10. Count me in. Just got up at 2:30 am because I was laying there thinking the same thing. I don't know

what is in our future in this country but we know the current mess cannot continue.

[OhioChick]

16. I have some horiffic insomnia, myself....

I feel we will prevail with Biden however; I believe it's going to take some time to get this virus under control, deal with such a broken economy and heal as a Nation.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

12. I just remember how awful it felt when I realized he'd won last time

And know it would be even worse if it happened again. I’m not sure how many of us could deal with it, and this worries me.

[OhioChick]

18. We all carry that same anxiety...

But I truly think we'll prevail. We have record numbers out voting and I truly believe there's more of us than "them."

[bdamomma]

88. Hey

I'm a newie to Twitter, should I join you guys too. I'm still feeling my way around the Twitter.

[Cha]

17. That's Why some of us are so

Crazy including me!

I talked to my daughter today.. she feels the same. Told me all the 3 kids have voted in Montana, Denver, & Portland, Ore Via Melbourne Australia.

They're on it!

[OhioChick]

21. You're not alone...

My emotions go back and forth but as of late, I'm feeling much more optimistic.

Thank your kids for voting!!

[Cha]

36. Grandkids.. I will!

Thank you for your OP.. to vent!

My kids have voted, too, though.. in Hawaii & Portland Oregon.

[OhioChick]

37. Grandkids, I'm sorry!

I'm happy that they all voted!

I'm optimistic but just pissed at how every day holds new BS.

Excuse my mouth and thanks for listening!

[bdamomma]

89. There's

alot of ex-pats out there including myself, I voted and so did my 3 kids all by Absentee ballots.

This election is a red alert.

[Cha]

90. Yes, and so Grateful So Many are

Heeding the Red Alert!

[bdamomma]

92. Thanks Cha

take care of yourself.

[uriel1972]

39. They just lifted the lock down in Melbourne.

I'm from South Australia meself😆 and have awe and respect for tje Melbourne residents and visitors.

[Cha]

42. Thanks for that, uriel..

I asked her how my grandson & his girlfriend were doing there. He's in medical school and she's working full time.

My daughter said they were doing well and said he talked about he restrictions they had.

They must be doing well if they've lifted the Lockdown.

Good on ya!

[uriel1972]

44. Yes yesterday was 0 new cases and 0 deaths

The restrictions are being lifted from midnight tomight AEST so they can go out and paryy responsibly from then.

[dchill]

33. Here!

[OhioChick]

35. We got this!!

[appalachiablue]

46. Burning out but hope to revive some post Nov. 3

[OhioChick]

48. 8 Days, my friend....

[sunonmars]

47. Would be nice to wake up in the morning without thinking I'm stuck in The Matrix on a loop.

[OhioChick]

49. It's been like living in "Groundhog Day"

Soon to be over!

[sunonmars]

50. Constant waking up to "WTF has he done now" or "has he dropped the nukes"

[OhioChick]

51. My first thought upon waking is....I wonder if he's still here n/t

[torius]

52. He'll go away, like magic

He’ll just disappear. If we VOTE!

[OhioChick]

53. I'd much rather him have some prison time.....

Regardless, Vote!

[Boomerproud]

59. Yes I am exhausted.

[OhioChick]

60. Only 8 more days...

Hang in there....

[VOX]

61. My soul is a burned out. My daily mood is in the toilet. 40% of the country embraces fascism.

And that’s not going to magically stop when Joe and Kamala are in office. I believe there’s big trouble ahead. We are not entering a new Age of Enlightenment.

But as I said, I’m burned out to the core, so my outlook is very dark. I’ve never been so disappointed and infuriated with “fellow” Americans in my longish life.

I seriously hope to find something to be optimistic about. A Biden/Harris win is a start. A Biden/Harris landslide would be a better start. The survival of democracy is imperative.

[OhioChick]

63. I understand how you feel....

But we have to start somewhere, that's with our votes.

[VOX]

67. That's been done, with a vengeance.

Hand-delivered to the city hall dropbox. My wife, too. All Democratic votes, up and down both ballots.
(As usual.)

[OhioChick]

68. Thanks for voting!

[VOX]

72. You got it! Thanks for this thread!

And for your empathy, despite this damn gray cloud of foreboding that surrounds my noggin.

[OhioChick]

73. We're all in this together...

And have to pick one another up from time to time.

[VOX]

74. You're a good soul.

It’s been a long, bizarre pull. Thank you again. Your effort hasn’t been wasted on me.

[OhioChick]

75. Thank you...

You're kind.

[Sherman A1]

62. 8 days to vote the out

An eternity until January 20.

[OhioChick]

64. True.....

During a pandemic and who knows what else to come but we need to get the asshole out of there.

[Bettie]

71. Me! I am just exhausted every day

and I have no escape. I'm home with my kiddo who is doing online school.

No movies, no shopping (shopping away stress isn't a great idea anyway).

Just feeling helpless and lost.

Without DU, I think I'd be utterly round the bend by now.

Heck, I had a couple of cocktails last night and it was heavenly to just not care about anything for a few hours.

[OhioChick]

77. Hang in There Bettie....

We're almost there.

[bdamomma]

91. It's not

only us, it's other countries who will breathe after we get this murderer out. Also our earth too. Climate change is no hoax.

[lame54]

76. Only one a day would be an improvement

[OhioChick]

78. True...

We thought Junior was bad, Jesus. This one is pretty damn crazy.

It's nice to have our wonderful Canadian brothers and sisters with us! Thank you!

[lame54]

79. I'm in California...

Big fan of Canada

Been there twice

Someday would like to return

[OhioChick]

80. Oh, I assumed seeing the Candian flag and all..

Canada is a beautiful Country with wonderful people. I've been there many times.

[bdamomma]

83. Naomi Klein

did say that "fascism just drains a person mentally". She was correct.


VOTE THEM OUT. Stand in those lines and let's show them that WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER.

[OhioChick]

84. Now we're talking!!!

VOTE!
