election tragic...

Today, I'm converted. Today, I've evolved into a 2024 U.S. election tragic, though I live in Australia. I've been watching the live broadcast on SBS...which continues to the SBS news broadcast at 6:30pm. After that? I promise that tomorrow I will be a writer tragic again. pic.twitter.com/jRiCe4NJSr
