(27,232 posts)Listening to MSNBC since I don't mind Kernacki, being on DU, getting/sending texts from my sis, maybe few friends.
I might be able to access my old FB (trouble since I got a changed phone # I am hopefully restoring) which only has family, and f2f friends (No magats!) and a lot of Art/Craft/Science sites.
I also have pre-Interenet liberal (shared interest) friends in Texas, and Seattle on line there.
Some neighbors might watch TV in the building's rec room- if so, I might join them for a while.
My sis maaaay invite me to watch. I'm not asking; she's recovering from surgery. Not counting on that - but sure we'll text here & there.
My other choice would be IF it wasn't for fuckkng Covid, and re: Big Crowds [remember, some people got it from being at the Dem Convention!]... would be to actually hang out at MSNBC's Election Night
Extravaga (if it's not raining)!!
It's what some of you have watched on TV w "the gang" in view in the plastic booth at upper corner of the Skating Rink ; the blue & red ribbons being pulled up to, and one past their respective 270 signs EC votes on the Rock Center Building! The USA Map projected on to the Ice Skating Rink; States changing to blue or red when results announced.
Such a mix of anxiety, and excitement!
It ended up being so thrilling for Obama in '08 & '12.
Devastating in '16! At least I was w fellow Democrats for the Initial Shock, and not alone (I didn't yet know about DU).
Maaaaybe I could stop by for a very short
look around, and just see it for a quick look before it really gets more crowded. Of course I'd be masked.
Glad some people mentioned food! 😄 Probably 2 slices of the nearby yummy white pizza, that's before almost all polls close). Posters saidchocolate! 😄🥰
Probably some heavy-duty dark-chocolate chip cookies I'll have to get from somewhere out of my nabe (I have a few choices). Maybe some white cheddar popcorn as well.
Anxiety meds & extra if needed (alchohol not allowed). The extra one I can also use if I find I'm having trouble sleeping, say, a week+ out, or so from 11/5.
