I just left the very conservative forum that I visit

The general attitude is that they can't wait for the party to begin with the landslide victory for Trump that they are anticipating. They cannot imagine a situation where Trump could possibly lose.

Hopefully, by midnight, they will be crying in their beer.

Here is to the hope, that, going forward

Democrats, all across the country, will celebrate every Nov. 3 with picnics, watermelon and sunset fireworks!

This election aside, even if we win, we have systemic problems.

How are we going to survive as a nation where nearly half of the people will not differentiate the value of a truth and a lie?

Break out your crystal balls...When do you think that the election will be decided?

Of course it will be weeks before all of the votes are tallied, but how soon after the end of voting on the West coast do you think that we will know who won the election. The question may be when will the major news organizations call the election?

My best guess is 24 hours. Should I stock up on more liquor and pot for the long haul?

To clarify my title, women are invited to participate.

The strangest thing about this election is

that, with the worst President to ever fill the job, that the election is competitive at all.

That it will be competitive is an indication of what a serious danger our Representative Democracy is in. Electing Biden will give us some time to catch our breath, but it will not cure what is deeply wrong with our nation. We are no longer one people or one nation. The virus has shown us just how deeply divided we are. In days past, confronting such a danger would have brought us together, as one, to face and defeat the crisis. We are living in the most dangerous time since our Civil War. We are rotting from the inside.

I did it!

Whew, I made it. Third in line in my polling place, first day of in-person Florida early voting. Now, if I croak, I have done my duty.
My little third world county handles elections very well, everything was set up to be as safe and efficient as possible.

A trip down memory lane, or, immediately means never

Of course, we know, it is only two weeks away. Immediately meant the first day of the second term.

Wake up America, the nightmare is over

should be the theme of President Biden's first address to the nation.
