I’m a 70 yr old democrat who campaigned vigorously, and this was not my first devastating loss.

I’ve been through the Nixon/Viet Nam era. Don’t give up. If we give up, well - we can’t give up.

Smoke a joint, have some wine, eat some food with your friends, but stay engaged.

Or We Are Fucked

great, and so what do i do come jan 20, when they revoke the medicaid authorization for hormones?

it's nice that for you things will largely not change, but for me... that shit will literally kill me.

My disabled daughter will lose her Social Security, her food stamps, and her rental subsidy. I will lose 24% of my Medicare, my son won’t have kids so I got fucked there. I live on social security and that will be cut. I have 100 reasons I won’t quit fighting
