There has been a good chunk of optimistic articles out over the last 48 hours. I’m doing my best to not give them much thought because I don’t want to lose twice if Trump wins. My vote is cast which at this point is all I can do. Here’s to hoping there’s a major upset or all of the swing states go blue tonight and we can all rest easy.
I’m so glad this happened. I really wanted to believe them when they said it was an error and would corrected. It appears that in relatively short order they addressed the issue, gave an explanation, an expectation, then nailed it. I hate when I recommend something, then have to backtrack because they changed.
I have a buddy that’s about to pop the question to his partner, and the topic of asking the father for permission came up, and it’s just so fucking dumb. I didn’t ask my father in law, but if I did and he said no, I would just laugh and tell him his opinion doesn’t actually matter, and maybe I’d next see him at the wedding for the last time.
True in theory, but in practice, those are pretty much universally accepted curse words. I personally swear all of the time when I know the audience I’m around, and hear people swearing from across my office, so culturally it’s not a thing where I work or especially my previous manufacturing job. In places that have outside customers or patients, the expectation is generally different and varying levels of masking those outbursts is required, sometimes even saying things like "crap"is too much.
That’s one of my favorites to bring up to parents of daughters that are Trump supporters. “So you support a man that forcibly raped a woman and wants to know they schedule and status off your daughter’s vagina all of the time?” Make it personal because most won’t change until it affects them.
Somebody posted the text of the law the other day, and as dumb as it is, it’s legally within the rights of states to deny federal monitoring of their polling sites. However, I do believe that if the feds have a warrant or whatever the equivalent document is, they can ignore the state’s dissent. I’d like to think the people pulling the strings knew this was going to happen and prepared accordingly.
