"I am an older poli sci major. Election Day used to be my jam. Teenage me would scratch out Electoral College votes on a notepad; college me went to parties on election night. Young adult me would volunteer. But it's not fun anymore. There is no good outcome for me. I voted for Harris, but I agree with very little of her agenda."
"When she talks about free speech restrictions and price controls, I can feel the blood in my head as I grit my teeth. I am much worse off today than I was four years ago. On paper, I should not be voting for Harris... but fuck me if I am voting for Trump. Jan. 6 is disqualifying, but so is the gross racism and misogyny."
"Normally, I would vote Libertarian or something as a protest, but I live in Pennsylvania. So I did my part. But I am not happy about it because if Harris wins, the chances that my situation will improve will get worse."
