What’s happening in the US?

[Errolwasahero]

I’m away from home visiting people who I cannot talk politics with; my dp said in a message that the US is crazy at the moment, I’m assuming about the midterms… can anyone keep me in the loop about what’s happening?

Haven’t noticed it more crazy than usual. Why does your DP think it is?

I'm in the US and not sure what he means specifically. Midterms are next Tuesday; there's the usual nonsense about how certain candidates will refuse to accept the results if they don't win; both Biden and Obama have been making speeches about threats to our democracy and so on. There's still a lot of uproar about abortion rights, depending on location. The attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband is still very much in the news and pretty shocking. Generally, though, life goes on.

Thank you, sounds just like normal then! Although the attack is worrying; I really wish politics could be less divisive.
