We're Lost

[missizzy]

Reading about the turnouts in the early voting this afternoon, I was actually foolish enough to feel optimistic. But now, even if Biden wins, we've already lost. Four and a half months left and there's no way they won't appoint another right-wing horror in RBG's place. Anything Biden or anyone else tries to do that's even mildly progressive, they'll immediately strike down. Hell, maybe they'll really rush the appointment in and overturn the election results.
Mom is fretting because our absentee ballots haven't arrived yet. The way the post is these days, I expect they'll arrive either next week or week after, unless we're really unlucky. But at this point, it may only be the opportunity to establish that the right-wingers about to destroy our country didn't have a legitimate right to, if even that.
