Same. I did my civic duty and I feel good about that. I'm getting others to register and vote also, I feel good about that too.
But I know, even if we win this fight, that doesn't mean victory; it just means taking on the next fight, which is to find and elect (or, failing that, become) candidates who will reject AIPAC, tax billionaires, give people education, healthcare, legal weed, fast internet, and social safety nets, reform the prison system, reform the military industrial complex, forbid stock trading among congresspeople, re-implement corporate regulation, rebuild our institutions, oh and fucking fight climate change before we all kill each other in the water wars, and probably a bunch of other shit too.
At some point, one really has to ask ourselves, "If they're gonna ignore the rules and do whatever they want, and if we're going to stop them, why shouldn't we do the same?"
I'm not American but yeah, we are in a somewhat similar situation. It sucks so much
this is my feeling. I will still be protesting after the election although the messaging I use may change based on outcome.
