My pro-Trump family found out that I voted for Harris and now my brother is openly threatening to kill me. How do I get out ASAP?
  • In the US our actual vote is secret and anonymous, so it is possible to hide who you "pull the lever" for. When you vote in the primary however, (in most states) it is recorded which party's primary you choose to vote in (but again your actual vote is secret) . This is a matter of public record (don't ask me why) and campaigns use that info to target people based on their likelihood to vote for them. So if OP chose to vote in the Dem primary, their name would be on record as having participated in that Dem primary, and the local/state/national Democratic Party probably would have sent campaign materials to their address (not like thank you notes, but more like ads for Dem candidates and causes), and their family may have deduced that they had an "outsider" amongst them. Another scenario is that OP may have just been honest with them when they asked.

  • To Americans: How far apart is everything in the US?
  • Nashville TN suburbs and here are my walking distances:

    To the nearest convenience store: 6km
    To the nearest chain supermarket: 11km
    To the bus stop: 6km 
    To the nearest park: 4.1km
    To the nearest big supermarket: 12km
    To the nearest library: 13km
    To the nearest train station: 25km
    
  • Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio)
  • The popular vote tally is what matters on a state level. 48 states (Ohio included) use a state-wide popular vote and award all their electoral votes to the winner of a plurality (highest percentage even if no one gets more than 50%) in that vote.

    Please always vote. Ohio isn't so deeply red that it's completely hopeless yet
