Not being able to vote makes me extra sensitive to discussions of the election tbh like. People who don’t have to fight super hard to vote don’t see the value in it, *because* their vote isn’t suppressed. So I wish that people who do have that privilege would use it to help out those of us who can’t (both within and outside of the US). But instead eligible voters just yell at us for even *trying* unsuccessfully to vote blue. Like are you happy? Are you satisfied about marginalized people not getting to vote? What is the result you’re hoping for

#I have so much going on today/this week in my own life that I don’t even have time to be scared about the election #but I Am scared tbh. if you don’t want anyone to be voting can you at least not make me think about it all day #I’m glad you’re not affected enough to care but some of us are juggling a million problems while also terrified abt election results #and like. whats more upsetting abt this election than straight up trump voters #is the amount of people who consider themselves leftists and essentially Want Trump To Win #its the feeling that no one around me cares abt my rights #and the feeling that most of my loved ones could feasibly be very upset with me bc of how I feel abt the election #not even for how I Vote! bc I can’t vote!! ppl can’t even be mad at me for voting blue #which makes it all the more infuriating. like ok so I’m a bad person bc I would if I could?#and like it helps that I Do see ppl encouraging others to vote #but that makes me feel tension too bc I know a lot of ppl closest to me think that’s a bad thing #it just makes me feel very. alone in the anxiety abt this #I don’t have time to even realize how scared I am. but it does affect me #to the point I almost had a panic attack in response to my partner talking abt it #and I have to just get back to work. the things making me too stressed to cope w the election in the first place #mine #txt #vent post
