I want to go to space but only astral projection as a ball of energy or taken on board by a benevolent and highly spiritually advanced race of squid, a second date please miss Rodrigo.

I voted for Stein because I want to add to the liberal meltdown over her popular vote count if Kamala loses.

0 chance the green party will ever wield power, but if they pass 5%, get federal funding and subsequently on the ballot in every state then we have a 3rd party that is at least anti-genocide.

No I don't believe there is any strategy that will move the US government left in time, but we are here and talking about this shit so that's my "tactical" vote. Green party is the compromise I guess.

I try to do most things Brace Beldon tells me to do

I wasn't A Ware of this. I only listened to a couple of things and voted Stein just because of the 5% thing. If Claudia was on the ballot in my state I would have filled in that bubble, I basically gave it very little thought or effort.

But it's 200,000 Palestinians on one track and every politician taking AIPAC money on the other.

Yeah I agree with everything youve said which is why at this point in my life I am not very well traveled and haven't considered leaving. Side note, my partner learned English and their advanced degree and career so it's a bit different, but I will certainly make the effort if plans solidify. I will make the effort anyway but it would be motivating if I knew I was going to be there long term. I have some trade skills but my most useful contribution is living frugally and not causing trouble.

I think it became a lot more probable since she got her first medical bill from a minor injury, while having insurance, $900. Paying $1500 a month for an apartment with college students yelling next door and a homeless encampment in the woods next to the building, management doesn't fit anything when it breaks. Spending $100 for two people for curry and icecream. Needing to own a car to do anything.

Just watched some videos about it, sounds extremely culturally diverse.

It feels like that might be where things are heading. I do much better in the colder climates though, and it's only getting hotter, but I might get some psychic relief even if I'm sticky and pouring sweat and have a constant headache lol.

Most people who say this can't go a day without talking to at least 3 people lol. But yeah, I feel ya. It would be rough for the first few months since I am basically addicted to being online at this point.

I haven't been on this site for a while, and remember there being a lot of internal debate about leaving the US. I can't fucking take it anymore, I'm living every day full of disgust, anger, and hatred. I don't have to explain why to this audience.

I am not a doctor or scientist, I was a freelance writer until this last year and have been underemployed for months due to the cutbacks in tech and AI. I am neurodivergent. I was booted from my last two jobs for talking to union organizers (they had spies) and not pushing a pro-Israel narrative when training LLMs. I've joined orgs and protests and I'm tired. I have no faith in the western left besides just being "informed" which is literally killing me and has alienated me from all of my friends and family. I've met a few comrades through organizing but we just bitch and get each other worked up over the fact that we live in the 4th Reich.

I have some savings, no kids, no house or car payments. My partner is SE Asian, immigrated 2 years ago with a green card but is also feeling the same way about living in the US with the added cruelty of how bad immigrants and dark skinned people are treated here. Just the overall dehumanization to endure to survive.

Can I please move someplace and grow fruit trees and wait for the right moment to join the PeeEL*Ay.
