      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.

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

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

      Oh man, he got Elon musks support. Didn’t have that before. I’ll still vote against the guy trying to end the country as we know it and replace it with an actual dictatorial regime.
