Bit late for that is it not?
Barring something extreme, probably so. There might be legal challenges available but it does not look like Pennsylvania was close enough to possibly flip.
Mutual aid will be more important than ever, join and build up your local groups if you're able, it will pay off in dividends in the coming years.
This election has only proven how electoralism cannot be relied upon, it's just us now. We need to build the world we want to live in, without corporate influence.
We have tremendous collective power if we just use it, and hopefully this outcome will result in us coming together and building that world in the shell of the old. Collective solidarity is our only solution left.
Thank you for this comment. I no longer feel quite as hopeless as I did before. I need to focus on doing something to improve something.
Glad to hear it :)
If enough of us join in, we'll be a force to be reckoned with!

Can we at least get a thorough recount to be sure this election wasn't tampered with? It's a dream scenario with 15% less voter turnout even for the right (more on the left). They'd call for one if Harris won, they got one last time.
