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.

Is the weather as nice there as it is here? It's a beautiful day to walk to the polls here.

It is kind of upsetting that we're depending on high turnout from women, when men will benefit from a Harris presidency at least as much. Steady infrastructure spending, reliable funding for such departments as the NIH and USDA, and economists that agree that Harris would be better for the economy? Sounds like a win whether you're a man or woman. And.... just because women want to retain their rights, doesn't mean we want men to lose theirs and doesn't mean we think men are evil. Sigh...

I am sorry. That is one of the worst things about this-families being divided. I may sound melodramatic but I do think it's the truth.

That will be true if the traditional Northern Republicans are voting in droves. While unfortunately some of them drank the Kool Aid, many people I grew up with were even more adamantly pro-choice than I was.

I am about to go to a followup appointment for my foot, then I have a few errands to do before I come home and read a couple of books that I got from the library. Sadly, when I'm anxious my stomach won't allow me to even eat very much, let alone drink. I haven't had a drink in more than a decade anyway, though.

On another note, hopefully the right wing ads I'm seeing on this page will go away too.
