I'm registered and got sent an "absentee ballot form". Ideally I can get this all done without having to encounter Proud Boys, KKK, neo-Nazis trying to intimidate voters, or our current president running around spreading lies and a literal plague to everyone he touches.
Fuck everything about this timeline, how do I make sure this vote is counted?
I would find out where official drop boxes are in your area. If you find one that is close to you, I'd do a quick google maps search so minimize wandering around and then drop it off.
Then you can go to your state's voting website and track it. I dropped my ballot off on Saturday and I got an email saying that it was received by the local election officials on Monday.

This. If at all possible try to find a location near you where you can personally go and drop it off yourself. A ballot drop box or other official drop off location. If you MUST mail it be sure it has any postage necessary affixed and note down any information you need to track it. Most states have websites where you can track your ballot, so check what information you need to do so before dropping it off/mailing it in case there's a tracking number to note from the envelope or something.
EDIT: Also, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT THE BALLOT CAREFULLY. The most common reason for a ballot being thrown out is that it's completed incorrectly (no, it's not fraud despite what the party of Trump keeps trying to say...it's by and large people just not filling in all of the information needed).

New poll out... teehee!... from Rasmussen... hahahaha!... that has the race... hahahaHAHAHAHA!... at Biden +12... BWAHAHAhahahahaHAHAHAHA!...
Ahem... <wipes tear> That is all.
EDIT: Not quite all, actually. 538 aggregate has Biden +9.3 right now, and once RCP adds Rasmussen's new poll, they'll have Biden at +9.4.

Right-wing Twitter is currently losing its shit over Carly Fiorina (Remember her? No? You're forgiven.) endorsing Joe Biden on FOX "News".
It's pretty special.
Can someone tell me what this ObamaGate nonsense is? I keep seeing people post it on twitter, but no one is saying what it actually is, just that it's a coup.
I know it's definitely nothing, but for my curiosity, what do they think Obama did this time?
The proper waifu is a wholesome supplement for one's intrinsic need for belonging and purpose.
I’m assuming that it’s because the doj announced that... they were going to announce something... and right wing louts are desperate for any sort of “gotcha” amongst Trump pirouetting them and their political hopes and dreams into the pits of hell and so assumed it would be something damning about Obama.
