And it won’t even be over on Tuesday no matter who wins.

I just have to start distracting myself when it happens.

    If you’re in the US, don’t just distract yourself!

    • most states have early in-person voting already in progress: https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/ Look up your info and do it!
    • then make a list of your friends and get them to do the same
    • go to the local campaign office and tell them you want to help! Most of them let you sign up online too. You don’t have to try to “sell” people, there are a lot of tasks like informing people of early voting, preparing canvassing packages, training to be a poll watcher, attending desks for outreach, etc. I’ve done several hours already and plan to do more.
    • if you are in a “battleground” state YOU CAN MAKE AN OBVIOUS IMPACT. But if you’re in a “noncompetitive” state you can make things better too – imagine a world in which Ted Cruz is kicked out of office, for example.

    I’m not really into partisan politics and I have a lot of personal obligations, but this time next week I want to know I did everything I could.
