Stay strong, Americans. But whichever way you vote, Australia will get shafted and the neverending war will continue. :(

Cheers, Geoff

hillsmom -- there's a house I drive past occasionally on my way. They have a big Trump-Pence sign in the yard....and an even bigger Confederate flag hanging off their front porch! Tells me all I need to know about them.

Yes, Tech42, it DOES make a difference who you vote for. Either the highly qualified woman with years of public service experience or a sleazy real estate con-man doing a very bad Adolf Hitler impression. Take your pick.

"Filled with existential dread". Good way to put it.

You cannot make me turn on the radio, today.
The TV is also invited to go fuck itself.

Tech42
You forgot "Who you vote for makes a difference".

Hey Lefty, I'ze SCARED! Fortunately, I've already voted, and can only hope HRC and down the ticket will prevail. My neighbor has a Trump/Pence sign (I can hardly type that without hyperventilating) by her door. It was the scariest thing I saw on Halloween!

My DH, on the other hand, seems to be living in the 50s. He used to be very smart...sigh.
I haven't spoken to him as yet today...perhaps I won't ever again...?

My nerves have been shot this campaign season. I won't even watch the returns--just tune in occasionally. And, there'll be alcohol available.

But I'm excited about Wednesday. It'll be the first day of the 2018 midterm election campaign season!!! :)

Questions I would like answered:

1) At what point in time did America stop being great?

2) What events took place that changed America from being great to not great?

I can only speak from my perspective, but I think America is a great place. Yes, there are problems that need to be dealt with, but I've seen nothing from Republicans that make me believe they see those problems, let alone have an idea of a plan to deal with them. All I see from them is voter suppression and plans to stick their noses in peoples private lives.

I've already voted straight Democrat.

If I was the praying sort... I'd probably be voting for Trump. So let's toss that cliche. How about; if I was a betting man, I'd put the farm on Clinton to score 300+. Not as smashing a victory as I hoped. But still what I hope for.
