I guess that means I won't be able to visit my friends in the US for the foreseeable future. That's incredibly sad, but at some point you just got to take a stance and make a decision. Several lines have been crossed, and for me personally that's just one too many.

Dear American friends: only you can fix this horrible mess. Go and vote.

@fribbledom As an Ameican, I fully support this boycott. I didn't vote for this mess, I became temporarily disabled for a few months, but I've been trying to fight the mess as much as I can. . .from the liberal bastion of Chicago, which doesn't feel like much except I guess I have to support the existence of a bastion, too.

I'm hoping the hypothesis that 2016 was an electoral blip caused by Financial Crisis discouraging Millenials from building families & moving to suburbs proves true. . .

@fribbledom Thing I hate is that this will be permanent damage that will take a long time to recover from (unless Dems get enough seats in Congress to impeach judges). Trump & McConnell have worked hard to pack the courts & even though the states have seen some liberal backlash in 2018, there's A LOT of work to educate rural people to understand that the GOP doesn't really care about them. Dems have only had success they have because of high population & urban states. Need yo fight to. . .

@fribbledom . . .get country more on the same page. Crazy comparing today's electoral maps to older ones as wins were much more obvious then.

Sorry, I'm wonking out. I'm hard stopping.
