I'm in Arizona. This state is a mess. We have Kari Lake and her crazy, mental state who thinks she is going to win the Senate race over Ruben Gallego. We have this debacle at our MVD and voter registration. We have armed protestors at our Maricopa County Elections office. Now we have a MAGA Republican, who won the Republican Primary over Stephen Richer, running for Maricopa County Election Recorder and wants trump to win. About 3 years ago, we have armed citizens carrying AR15 rifles, protesting right outside our Phoenix FBI location. Arizona is absolutely crazy and I cannot wait to retire and move out of here.

Elon needs to be held accountable for his actions

[A_kiwis_view]

Thanks for providing a fascinating discussion on the uncertainty that faces the USA and the rest of the world until we get a decisive result.

[DyldoDVH]

Thank you for all your bravery and hard work Mr. Richer. As an independent Maricopa voter, I hope to get a chance to vote for you someday. In the meantime, I'll be doing my part to make sure Heap returns to the MAGA sh** heap where he belongs.

To quote James Clear
The first mistake is never the one that ruins you. It’s the spiral of repeated mistakes that follows.
This sums up the USA at the moment

I recently voted by mail in Pennsylvania, but I plan to drop off some treats/snacks to my poll workers in my small town to thank them for their hard work and dedication in assisting with our elections. These people spend 17+ hours working at the polls. They deserve our admiration and appreciation, not condemnation and misplaced hate. These people are our neighbors and friends, and they should be treated with respect and kindness. I pray that our poll workers are not hassled by troublemakers that have bad intent in their hearts. I also pray that our country remains a peaceful place to live regardless of the outcome of the 2024 elections. God bless America!

[ReneeKadlubek]

Yes I appreciate everyone moving it forward. Not a fan of chaos or exploiting people.

I am one of those Americans who has signed up to be a poll worker. Two of my very liberal friends have also signed up. We start Monday.
We are no less patriotic than the people with the red hats.

Thank you! It's so sickening what Elon Musk does. These manchilds simply don't care about consequences and it really provokes anger how people who devote their lives and energy have to face bomb threats and swattings just for saying "stop lying".

[DavidAtchison]

All of this trump shit is old and tired. trump is a sad loser. He's old, sad, and pathetic. Vote BLUE 🗳 ALL THE WAY.

[peanutbutter]

Im sorry. When one Lies on a forum that reaches millions, how is it possible that a LIAR who deliberately pokes a hornets nest is not held Accountable???

[davidgrochmal]

All this violence and lieing is because of one man and one party. SICKO. Crazy

[twomasta]

Elon Musk is your boogie man. What to the Kochs😂?
