(6,496 posts)But there can still be good things about it. The up coming election is an opportunity for positive change. Many people refer this as the year from hell. To me this is a special year because my son graduated high school, started college, and will be voting for the first time. I also had a nephew born this year. It's not all bad.

Glad it's been good for you in so many ways. It's been really bad for a lot of us, though. I won't go into detail.

We have to win by such overwhelming numbers (both electoral and popular) that there is absolutely NO doubt. We also must take the Senate back.

(43,123 posts)I'm thinking there will be - for weeks - 2 declared winners to the election. Trump will declare himself the winner and rely on Barr to make it happen in the courts. Polling, election returns, networks will declare Biden the actual winner. How this plays out ... anyone's guess.
