At least you don't claim he is a strong businessman. Seriously, once again I have to ask how somebody with 6 bankruptcies, multiple failed business ventures, and decades of stiffing vendors is going to be 'good for the economy?'

My bf did his part to convince other Latinos to vote for Harris, and he was frustrated but still managed to sway a few. For years, Union leaders in MA were frustrated by their members' refusal to vote for a woman, but that did change-first with Warren and more recently with Healey, so maybe there's hope.

We keep running women because that's the only way a woman will ever get there. Obama wasn't the first Black man to run-people like Jackson and even Sharpton (ok, I could never vote for Sharpton, and anyone who remembers the 1980s probably knows why) ran before him. If MA can finally elect a woman as a Senator and as a Governor, then I have hope it can happen at the National level as well-unfortunately it may not be in my lifetime. (I know MA is considered ultra-liberal but in many ways it's very conservative)

Thanks for sharing that. I remember being absolutely shattered when hearing about Matthew Shepherd. It's painful to think that we're going back to that kind of thinking.

Yes, she ran a good campaign, one that's especially notable since it had to get a late start. If her supporters can keep the energy they had, we have a shot to get through this.

He will never be held accountable for any of his crimes. I have always thought that, but now I know.

I don't care what race, gender or background a President is. I won't deny that it sucks that about half the population will be rejected just for being a woman, but ultimately I just want somebody who will lead the way to maintain our infrastructure, find ways to balance the environment and business needs, and to help ensure that a health crisis doesn't lead to financial ruin. (this is to name a few). And I'll be honest-I'm scared that my boyfriend will be a casualty, even though he is now a citizen.

Can you go to the UK? I know they're having their own issues there but it might be better than here.

That's the truth. I have some savings, but not enough. I've suggested to friends/family members that we get together and move to a country where we can stay if we can buy property. And so far for almost 10 years, not one person has explained to me how somebody with six bankruptcies and about 7-8 failed 'business' ventures is good for the economy. So people who think that are deluded or that's not the real reason they voted for him.

That's actually TRILLION, not billion. We've already been headed to a new gilded age, now we will get there faster.

I don't know who runs Decision Desk, but I just peeked at CNN and it hasn't called all of the same ones.

Weird, where I've looked she's trailing there.

I don't like the way VA looks right now

You mean the air-brushed one that changes the shape of his face? I'd say at least 20 years

Although hours have been extended thanks to bomb threats, so who knows?

What cities are in Hamilton County? I have a brother who lives in South Bend but have no idea what counties are where.

I'm not going to watch, but I remember I followed the coverage for '08 on BBC's website. When each state was called, a radio-clock like counter flipped the number of elector votes each candidate had earned. California and Texas were pretty fun to watch. I wonder if it still does that?

I think you're right. Or at least they're hoping people will go home and stay there.

Somebody in a FB group I'm in shared that people in Nevada need to answer their phones, in case their ballots need to be 'cured.' Anybody who knows people from Nevada should share.

As warped as it sounds, there may be T voters who think they're saving democracy, too.

Maybe Vance knows how to play fiddle? Hopefully I'll be deported to someplace nice, but I doubt it. P.S. Doesn't vance mean bedbug in Yiddish? I seem to remember that from the crossword puzzle episode of MASH.

If the ads I described a couple of pages ago are any indication, Drumpf, or whoever made those commercials, is hoping that women will vote for him because they're afraid that the 'illegals' and scary inner city people are going to attack them. And of course, the man who won't share an umbrella with his wife when walking in the rain is the one who will protect them.

I agree. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't think they'll ever be affected (as we've seen recently, in at least one of the cases in the news right now) by these bans until they do find themselves in the situation.

For some reason I especially want WI out of those 4. Maybe it's because a good friend of mine has an adult daughter with special needs and she's scared of what might happen to her.

While I'm not following the news, he's already saying that he has won, as long as there's no fraud of course.
