Joe Biden has received the endorsement of the leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP).
This endorsement makes a lot of sense seeing his planned taxation and spending policies. New running mate candidate, perhaps?

Just going to have Thanksgiving dinner with my immediate family at home.
Canceled and thankfully so - I just got COVID
Iām sorry and hope you make a full recovery.
10-12 people and 15 bottles of whiskey.
Want to ban those too?
Visual Storyteller
My extended family canceled our gathering. My immediate family (already in a ābubbleā of sorts together) is going to do an outside, distanced meal.

As an immigrant to the US I still fail to understand the point of thanksgiving. Seems like a silly holiday that kicks off 5 weeks where nothing in the country gets done..

Thanksgiving is essentially a fall harvest celebration. Harvest celebrations are found in cultures across the globe.
Has nothing to do with genocide or taking land from indigenous people.

Yes. Skipped Passover, Shavuot, Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot already. Never scheduled Thanksgiving to begin with.

Weirdly in my family the only oldie who lived through ww2/Holocaust is pretty anti-social distancing. The rest of us have to convince him on a near daily basis to not go out
Pro
I cancelled. Gutted. Havenāt seen my family since January š. Will be doing a solo t-giving with a virtual āgatheringā.
Using it as an excuse to not have to drive 3 hours to spend time with my mother and her redneck husband.
Having a 5 person immediate family w/o elderly thanksgiving rather than the typically 25 person event

P2 has big feelings in this thread š
We're doing 8 people outside.
My parents are furious or frustrated, but they're also geriatric aged, so they're the main reason we're doing this
Last year we had 28, inside
Hell no. All holidays are on. Family trumps virtue signaling.

Yes, I canceled plans. Itās tough, Iām not spending it with my kids because I donāt want to risk exposing them as I have been in contact with people who tested positive and will be quarantined.
For once in your living memory, if you're not able to have dinner together with your family and do your usual rituals, it's no big deal. Really! It's not!
Iām not adjusting my life, itās on the older generation/at-risk to make their own choices. Good luck wandering on to private property, especially in the south.
Pro
Imagine if everyone took the āevery person for themselvesā attitude even when it could mean death for someone else.
Also imagine being a higher risk or older person and reading your statement.
Itās as if you have no ability to think of anyone but yourself, or perhaps itās no desire.
Nope. Lord Newsom has tried and punished us enough. Not following orders this time.

OOF
If been complying with the spirit of the order. Iāve been self isolating for the last week+, and am driving to see family and flying home.
Looking at so many posts here I think general mood is, GTFO. This is America and donāt take away our freedom.
