Closing down the election on November 3rd for a coup wasn't ok.
I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the polls for a coup wasn’t a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts about voting from vulnerable populations talking about how voting Biden/Harris is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I’m being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love Biden and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and Kamala is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn’t a good feeling to find the election closed for the sake of Trump's second term. Maybe that’s laughable or pathetic. But for me, it’s true.
