A lot of what needs to be done is making sure that the Harris win is large enough that you can't easily claim that a handful of ballots should be tossed and change the outcome. That means:

Check your voter registration — part of the Republican strategy has long been invalidating registrations so people can't vote
Volunteer — nothing in the world quite like talking to people.
Donate — money is used for everything from ads to voter turnout operations
Organize; be prepared to turn out with others in your community to actively object to any effort to ignore your votes

If this comes to pass it is only karma, chicken of America's bloody past coming home to roost. You reap what you sow even if it is done on foreign soil.

I suppose then you would enjoy the resurgence in foreign blood when Trump ascends the throne and begins launching nukes into Gaza and the West Bank?

This is the same excuse given when big corporations fail due to their own bad decisions. What is happening in US are its foreign policies getting implemented on its own soil. You shouldnt have made such decisions if you didnt want its consequences.

If Israel wants to nuke Gaza and West Bank it will, it won't matter who is at White House.

In that case I will look forward to seeing the look on your face when I inevitably put on my jackboots and am ordered to train weapons in your general direction when your turn comes under that administration. Hooyah, and no hard feelings, just following orders.

And like all the wars since WW2 US will lose this one too.

Too bad that won't give you any comfort with all the unexploded ordnance in your playgrounds, white phosphorus burns, Agent Orange in your soil, PFAS and mercury in your water supplies, and destroyed infrastructure after we deliver some Freedom.

That will happen no matter who is in the power. Just like in Pakistan, millitary wants power. Its a wonder coup didn't happen earlier.
