By the way, the election is over

Postby rusty » Fri Oct 30, 2020 6:46 pm

I'm still seeing anti-Biden, anti-Trump comments all over social media. A waste of time and bandwidth. Do any of the people who post this stuff actually think they will be able to sway opinion?

I don't know who will come out victorious, but the election is over.

Texas early voting has already surpassed the entire vote for 2016.
Nationwide early voting numbers are 16% greater this year than in 2016.

Its over. Both sides need to take a Valium.

What does that have to do with First Amendment rights? Nobody said you couldn't, I just stated that its a waste of time.

If you ever experience mail-in voting done properly you will kick yourself for having done that. :D

The Constitution calls for an Election Day, not an election month.

I'm not sure how the trajectory of the original post went off into the "to vote or not to vote" realm.

As i stated to Cactushopper, who is a die hard Democrat now....all i know is tomorrow I will go to work no matter who won and adjust accordingly.

I do not understand how anybody can vote for someone who states the 1st thing they will do is raise taxes.

I will not riot or burn anything down if my guy loses. I will not spend the next 4 years bitching about how he bad he is. I will invest in the options that are best for me and my family. I will not move from the greatest State/Country in the world. Life will continue and I will do the most to enjoy what time is left.

Whatever happens I hope its peaceful.

Best of luck on your guy and will see what happens.

I have invested heavily in Vaseline, cuz tomorrow their is gonna be a shitload of butthurt people whoever wins.

See y'all tomorrow

Tariffs are also a tax. It is paid by importers who just raise the price that consumers have to pay.

I promise that if Biden wins, I will not criticize him with any more vitriol than Trump's opponents have hurled at him.

If Trump wins? Last time, I was just relieved (and tickled) that Hillary's grand plans were foiled. This time, I'll be happy that he won, and I'll have plenty to say about why.

Exactly, I value traditions highly and will continue to vote on Election day as long as I am able. I am not looking for the most convenient option for voting.

Another thing, I do not believe a person who is not interested in the government and politics should be pushed to go vote. Voting should be an informed decision.

When Hillary lost 4 years ago, I enjoyed watching the media making excuses for her. They were totally caught off guard. Not sure what their reaction will be to another Trump win.

Well, if Biden wins today, I'M NOT GOING TO WORK TOMORROW. And you can take that to the bank.
Of course, if Trump wins, I'm not going to work, because I'm off on Wednesdays. I will go in on Thursday, either way. Friday is back to butthurt or gloating.

That was a beautiful thing. The media all had their confetti and big foam "#1" fingers, pennants, and "I'm With Her" hats. Seeing how their moods changed from excitement, to worry, to panic, to despair, was a beautiful thing that gave me and my family much enjoyment for the past four years. I've seen those clips almost as many times as I've seen "Star Wars".

36 years ago, such a promise ended in a 49 state landslide.

In today's America, where half the citizens don't pay taxes, it is now a 50/50 proposition.

If there is going to be a tax on income, nobody should pay zero. Zero liability voters shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Believe it or not, I've got a conference call first thing in the morning. Insane.

You know where that started don't you?

It started when Obama won.......and escalated when he won again.

There has always been vitriol thrown at elected officials, but the division we're seeing now started in 2008. Obama didn't cause the division, that was left up to the people who couldn't stand seeing him as President.

Trump received all of that vitriol primarily because Democrats were sick and tired of what was thrown at Obama for 8 years.

If you can't take it, you best not dish it out. Everything's cyclical. Your guy may win this time, their guy may wind the next time.

By the way. I'm not going to be butthurt or gloating.

It is what it is.

All of this slinging snot, crying tears, and rending of garments is silly.

I disagree, I think it all started after the Gulf War and continued into Obamas reign. ( 1 thing I admired about Obama was not voting for it )

The famous Hillary words " I was for it before I was against it " I believe this is when the division started and grew.
Just my opinion

What Obama got was nothing compared to what was thrown at George W. Bush. The difference is that there was no Facebook when Bush was president.
