That's what I heard on social media, as credible as that can be at times.

I'm very nervous about tomorrow. Maybe the polling is all wrong? (Like in 2016?) And I'm really fucking baffled about how many tight races there are after two years of this nightmare. How can there not be a blue wave?

The Dems need a leader, fast. And hopefully not one in his/her late 70s. Fuck, come on Dems.

Are young people actually going to vote this time? Really?

Wow. Come on, America. This last two years is not who you are.

More fake news ads from an embarrassing President.

Good luck America on mitigating the influence of this idiot and the Regressive Party.

very strange.

anyway it discusses classical & egalitarian liberalism, various proponents, and ultimately argues the threat to liberalism does not come from unserious postmodernism (lol) but from, eh, call it “inherent contradictions” or whatever (no it’s not marxist).

please let me know if it still wont work tomorrow. maybe the pc police blocked it? :D

(i hope i dont start to sound like a reactionary...)

anyway the... i thought it’s a good... map

Why does this thread never register that I've read the posts on it? It thinks the last one I saw was five pages ago :(

RUSH LIMBAUGH UNLEASHED:

- "Hillary Clinton colluded with Russia."
- "Hillary Clinton rigged that election.”
- Joe Biden “can’t fill a phone booth” on the campaign trail
- Bill Clinton, Obama envious & jealous of Trump's crowds

I have no idea why I put tesla on ignore but not Bytor.

Anyway.....while I contemplate that, Bytor, are you worried about tomorrow? #5216 sure looks like you are spraying bullets everywhere instead of taking aim at something. I mean.....what the fuck is your point?

Actually, nevermind. (That reminds me - I put Nevermind on ignore. Nevermind makes tesla and Bytor look like Chelsea.)

I must admit that I am also worried. But hopeful. America is not this!! I have faith. This craziness cannot continue, right?

Skuj 11.06.2018 01:00 AM

Trump making his final pitches with Fox News guy and Huckabitch. That says everything!!

Skuj 11.06.2018 01:12 AM

You might ask, why is some guy in Canada so concerned? Well, The Divider In Chief has moved America towards civil war, and that could have monumental consequences for my country.

No other POTUS has ever completely disregarded a large chunk of America in this way. Trump has never even dreamed of speaking to any group other than the teslas and Bytors and Neverminds. One might have hoped that, shortly after the election, where Clinton won 3,000,000 more votes, he would take the high/Presidential road, and do what is good for the country. But, fuck no!! And he will pay a price for this stupidity. But maybe not tomorrow. Tomorrow could be too soon. Perhaps.

Fuck, this whole thing makes me ill. I've never hated anyone as much as I hate Trump. I know that "hate" is a very strong word. But this man is fucking evil. He has caused incalculable damage. Bannon talks about Trump being in our lives 30 years from now. I think he has a point. It may take that long to turn the corner on this damage.

Absolutely nothing to be worried about, nothing to focus on!

I wasn’t taking aim, Rush Limbaugh doesn’t equal bullets.

He was funny and I haven’t seen him mentioned in a long time.

If there is a Blue Wave on Tuesday, you will hear no doom and gloom from me!

The sun will come up Wednesday and life will still be grand!

Sadly, if there is a Blue Wave, many here will think they have “won” yet will eventually realize nothing has changed.

A) Donald Trump will still be President
B) Mueller will stil have nothing
C) many here will still be filled with bitterness
