I'm sorry, DU friends...

[SidDithers]

Wish that you'd had a different, better outcome last night.

Sending love and good wishes to everyone feeling angry and sad about the result, and scared for what the future holds.

1. Good to see you back here Sid...

Are you in Canada? Want to adopt about a 100K of us?

The worst I think is for those of us mid-50s and above... Our options-- sans a lot of $$-- are pretty limited. I guess that is why the younger folks (not DUers) decided to roll the dice with Trump. They think they have time to turn around a bad decision.

The sacrifice Biden made for naught... And as badly as I feel, I can't imagine how Kamala feels. It all would make for a Greek Tragedy--and still might, sadly...

6. Good to see you.

I feel like throwing up and screaming at the same time. I think I have to leave. This is clearly someone else's country.

10. So many questions so much anxiety

Am I safer because I'm in california? Or am I in more danger because he's going to come for newsom...?

Honestly, my biggest fear is losing my health care. I can't live without my medicine, I have a chronic autoimmune disease and require biologics to keep it in check. Even if I could buy the shit from Canada, it's still $2,000 a shot.
If I lose my healthcare, I won't remain on this planet in pain, I will find a way to off myself.

I don't want to even think about any of that right now. I just don't know how we're all going to survive

14. October 2025, right?

God be with u all in Canada when the election gets called.

[SidDithers]

21. Yup, but I fear we'll be fucked too...

Far-right populism seems to be where we're headed too.

23. I've seen Pierre Poliviere speak on TV.

Smug asshole.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Good to see you!

Don't be a stranger (although now you REALLY have a good excuse... ).

[SidDithers]

22. Hey Bum...

[calimary]

16. Thank you, Sid. And THANK YOU, DU!!!

It’s a comfort to have a place like this where we can gather and talk and offer strength and solace to each other. I just fear for anyone for whom this is the only refuge he or she has.

In the days ahead, maybe we should explore where else there is comfort and protection. But also, perhaps we should also consider how to share that info in ways that such information remains protected.

[SidDithers]

24. Was hoping to come back to join the celebration...

Now all I can offer is love and support.



Sid

[calimary]

25. Hey, we'll take it!!!

We’ll take as much emotional salve and bandaids as you feel like sharing! With THANKS!!!

[TBF]

26. Thank you for checking in -

28. Long time Sid

I don't post so much these days.

Always darkest before the dawn is the only cliche I can offer.

I am wondering if this is going to be Mussolini's Italy, Argentina 1985, Nazi Germany, or Cambodia 1976?

[SidDithers]

35. Here's hoping the darkness is brief...

Sid

[Algernon Moncrieff]

36. From your mouth to God's ears.

Take care. Watch your ass.

29. Hi Sid! It's great to see you here. Wish it were under better circumstances.

I was just in Quebec and folks were anxious there about the election. I'm sorry we let the world down. 🫤

Good to see you, though! Missed you.
