    The cynical part of me wonders how many of these “we’re cooked” comments are part of a psyop to discourage Democrats from voting

      I think the “Biden is suddenly to old” stuff is a psyop, this close to the election. But the “we’re cooked” is a general feel I’m getting from my friends, too. It feels bleak. However, I’m in Oklahoma so there’s no way my state wouldn’t go for Trump. So maybe elsewhere there’s different opinions? I hope.

      I also vote, even though I know none of my votes have counted since it’s always a Republican that wins, here. I don’t want anyone to have the satisfaction that they took my hope and resolve away.

      I wish my feelings of being cooked weren’t real, but unfortunately it’s felt this way for some time. I’m still voting.

      The cynical part of you should see how corrupt the system is and how little our votes change our lives for the better.

      I’m still not voting for him, but his chances of being president just went up. The last thing he needed is martyrdom.

        Sure but anything could happen. I mean, someone could assassinate Biden

        Now imagine what that would do for the Dem’s chances of getting Harris elected. Oh yeah. It’s all coming together

          He already compares himself to every highly esteemed figure there ever was. Captain Bonespurs didn’t need that.

      We are cooked. I’m looking at Express Entry options in Canada.
