2020 Election Day Challenge

Post by GORDON »

As the day (or days?) go on, and people here are following the race, and getting angry about this or that, here's the challenge:

Don't say something angry, without also saying something sincerely nice.

I don't think anyone will succeed (except me, of course, the immature one), but I like to delude myself by thinking the best of people. :-D

Starting NOW.

If someone is willing to disassociate with others based on who they vote for, then they're the asshole. But in keeping with the theme of this thread, a civically minded asshole.

I got rid of most of my side project clients, and only have 1 now, in addition to my main job. I negotiated a raise this morning of 30%. Woot. Best election day ever.
It's not me, it's someone else.

tbh, there's no real defeat or victory here. I want Trump gone, but Biden/Dems are still not exactly my happy place. But it's a beautiful sunny day here today!

I already mentally predicted a lot of ball spiking and IN YOUR FACE. but, they've had a lot of mental strain for four years, and it'll feel a little cathartic, probably. Won't help to "heal the divide" or whatever, but people gonna people.

My kid is in a dental chair right this second, one more step to having his teeth fixed. Yay!

Edit- ball spiking if a biden win, I meant.

I plan to call Trump an ass-clown if he wins or loses. There, both of my bases are covered.

I saw someone on FB say something like, "If my guy wins tonight, I'm going to kiss my kids goodnight, make sure they're ready for school tomorrow, and get a good night's sleep. Same if the other guy wins."

JoJo was the first, top left choice on my electronic ballot, today. I wonder if the order of the list is randomized ballot to ballot.

It should be, in an ideal world. But I have no idea how it works.

Completely reasonable and accurate.

I'm in a different state and she was the third choice down.
