Friendly Political Question

I think you're underestimated the kids this time round, voting is "cool" now.

They'll be able to Instagram each other about "fuck Trump" and "I voted".
perhaps, let's wait to see who shows since it's about votes and voters, NOT polls and 'likely' voters.

i haven't voted yet..i'm part of the insurgency for tomorrow..the TRUE BLUE WAVE.

When I was 7, I told this Mormon kid my own age he wasn't even a real Christian. He punched me in the nose. Ten years later in high school he walked up to me and thanked me cause he became a born again Christian, because he said he realized a real Christian wouldn't punch someone in the face for telling the truth, and apologized.
So who are the real Christians? The ones who burned witches at the stake and still want homos to get to I hell? Or is it the ones who told a continent riddled with aides they'd go to hell if they used condoms while molesting children on a prolific level and systematically helped protect he pedophiles rapists from the very top down...and still do.?

Do you all imagine Jesus differently?

True christians are not religious, but live by the "golden rule" of "treat others as you would have them treat you", the only "commandment" necessary.

I'll likely find this answer more acceptable than most. I'm not well versed in the bible but I've heard Jesus wasn't overly fond of the pompous religious type.

i believe the results are going to be very surprising and that elections as we know them have been changed forever..we've had a true paradigm shift.
Mine was just a prediction and not some political statement. I base it on the fact that Gerrymandering is such a powerful tool that Democrats must win the popular vote by more than a +6% margin, just to make the odds even for taking the House. I think we'll squeak by with +7% or +8% margin. That should be a powerful statement and mandate but is muzzled by Gerrymandering. Republicans will declare victory because they will still hold a near majority if not a majority in the House. It's not as if I'm certain of this, it's just what I think will happen based upon what I'm hearing.

Democrats taking the Senate is possible too, just not very.

I still don't understand why Cult of Sanders thinks not voting is a good thing.

Yeah, facts... Like what Schuylaar believes.

You first.

The only poll that matters is the one we are holding tomorrow. Facts will be available on Wednesday. I won't be here to talk about it though. My wife and I are heading to a quiet place on the coast for an unplugged couple of days while the election reporting sorts itself out. I'll be sampling Oregon's finest oysters sipping wine and listening to the rain on the roof of our cabin/yurt about the time the first results come in.

I admit I could be wrong in my prediction. I was wrong about who would win the presidential election too. I took it as a learning opportunity. What I found out was that Trump's win was almost entirely due to white racial bias and Trump's misogynistic rhetoric. That hasn't changed. Gerrymandering hasn't changed. Voter suppression efforts haven't stopped. And so, I don't think tomorrow will be a landslide for Democrats. Maybe a close win in the House.

I still don't understand why Cult of Sanders advocate that people not vote.

Assuming the dems take the House what will trumps excuse will be?..he will have many and currently has said 'if it happens, i'll deal with it then..'

now you're going to want to say how can this be bad news? and good luck trying, but i have a feeling it's going to be ugly..worse than anything we've seen.

i want to warn you now.

RIGGED is the word i predict we will hear often..it's what his plan was with Hillary even though he didn't want the job..he was going to ride on her coattails and do the same as he did with obama and birther. he was going to haunt her presidency forever while remaining relevant totally win/win.

How do you feel trump will lash out? Alec demonstrates for us what stage of grief trump will start with:



what do YOU think will be his first go-to..?

so i guess my prediction was accurate.

First time for everything.

You dont actually spray silly string on people as an act of politics though, right?

Be more fun to put Trump bumper stickers on thousands of random cars just to see how many liberals attack each other.

you're just mad because i thought of a good way of getting the message across without hurting anyone- i find bumper stickers offensive..i don't want to know your political opinion.

keep that shit to yourself unless i give you the permission to discuss.

i don't want my mind to be forced into thinking about subjects i'd rather not.

Bumper stickers are voter suppression. Silly string is totally grass-roots.
