The Race Is On...

And I have to say, it feels so good for Vermont to be the first state (so far the only state) to give Kamala a win with 3 electoral votes!

A bad time for the New York Times Tech Guild to be on strike.

okay---i just returned from voting. They was just about to lock the door, when I arrived at the polling place. But yeah----I ignored practically all of the candidates for office, except I wrote in "Steve King" for president. He's a no-nonsense kinda guy(like me), and does not laugh like a hyena, like Harris. Nope. Also, I checked the "No" box for all the stuff that alters the Zurra constitution. Hopefully, Steve will be the next Presy-dent, but I seriously doubt it.

I think the problem was that Trump detractors did not call him “fascist” and “Hitler” often enough. If they had just said it one more time in all the media stories, it would’ve pushed Kamala over the top.

speaking of media, they are going to have to hire on more out of work journalist to cover their Daily Donald stories, they just can’t help themselves.

I'm out sick today, but I'm waiting to hear if any of the fragile snowflakes at work have called in today because they can't cope with the election results.

I'm not snowflaking out because of this in general, but I am shutting my home office door to drown out DH's raucous gloating.

My Trumpster is still sleeping in because he had to get up at 4 o’clock yesterday morning to work the polls. Polling work is very easy in this county because people know where they’re registered. They don’t move house every five seconds. It is just a more stable population than in the city.

DH won’t dance and sing, he’ll just go about his business as usual. He’ll act exactly the same way he would act if Kamala Harris had won the election.

Can we swap husbands for a week or so?

You seem to have decent mental health. I mean the ones that are so fragile they are now curled up in a fetal position. I wonder how these people cope with any of the disappointments of daily life.

Waiting for the exodus from the United States of those who can afford to get into other, “better “countries.

it’s like getting an inoculation when you live with someone of of opposing viewpoints. Getting a regular dose of another view helps keep you centered.

too many of the snowflakes don’t actually ever talk to anyone who has viewpoints other than their own, so they find the words of opposing viewpoints “violent “and “harmful.”

if someone ask us why we don’t put political signs in our yards, I’d have to say “so, which signs with those be? I don’t even know.”

Exactly!

Early on jd vance called trump “America’s Hitler”. How do you explain that?

Dread the constant chaos trump spews. It was a relief to have him gone!

Unfortunately the cost is too much for most Americans, myself included. I don’t see our country getting better under trump. Deregulation of many laws that save the environment is the least of it.

Yes. 95 regulations repealed the last time. Let's see he can outdo himself and make our story the story of The Lorax.

IL: I fully agree about hearing opinions that differ from our own. An echo chamber is an echo chamber. I like to try to understand why others hold differing views, and then "test" my own views up against those ideas and arguments. If I can't do that, then I don't think my opinions carry much weight.
