2020 Election Day Challenge

Post by **GORDON** » Tue Nov 03, 2020 8:11 am

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.

Starting NOW.

Ok, 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.

Don't go full John Cusack!

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.

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."

SEXIST! WHAT ABOUT JO?

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.

Right?

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