Trump or Biden, we lose either way. It’s beyond maddening that this is the best we can come up with; it’s our own fault though.

I’m not emotionally attached to either candidate; I’m going to hold my nose and pull the lever for one of them, I’m not going to be satisfied with either choice.

As hard as some try to convince me that Obama did his best to destroy the country, I think we survived just fine. As much as some feel like Trump is trying to do the same, again, I think we’re going to be OK.

Whether it is Trump or Biden for the next four years, history has taught me that in reality, not much is really going to change.

Be well friends and foes. And regardless of what happens, be humble and don’t fan the flames of sadness and outrage that the other side feels.

I don't think it would matter who the parties put up. I think this is just a symptom of society and signs of another cultural revolution. Canada is going through similar issues in politics and the common denominator is the left trying to paint anyone that opposes them as evil racist Nazi's. And the right painting anyone opposing them as Communists. Meanwhile reality is there's a little truth in both sides arguments but the majority are just trying to get by day to day. Most don't give a shit about anything that doesn't directly affect their life.

I hear you man. I was always going to be voting Trump, although he puts my livelihood at sake with all these peace deals he and his son are brokering in the middle east. Outside of cringing on what he says, I can't state one thing he has done that I dislike.

The recent revelations about Biden I think are more than enough to say that we need to clean house here in Washington. It has gotten so corrupt. I imagine impeachment proceedings happening immediately if Biden is elected and I bet this time, it won't be a partisan line vote. I see some of the money laundering happening through Ukraine on both sides, or at least it was suggested that Mitt was doing stuff there too.

The POTUS continues to listen.

Scorching hot take: It doesn't matter if Trump wins. The Democrats take the Senate and Pelosi eventually becomes president.

She's 80 mate, don't think she's got a shot.

That is a SPICY take 🌶

Seems like a very smart move considering how many elected officials call riots and looting "peaceful".

One thing is certain...we will see "much craziness" in the coming days and months in all aspects of life.

I don’t see it a possible large scale movement. Maybe if some really big influential people started doing it, could rally some others and start something. However, the media also does a good job of smearing people like this, making them out to be bad apples, poor performers, etc, trying to take credibility away; that way no one will look at them as righteous but just a disgruntled employee. Hope I’m wrong.

No, because most of them, IMO, share the opinions of the people he's complaining about.

Some things going on when it comes to organizing car convoys and Facebook choosing what groups to shut down. Literally interfering with an election.

On the conduct of twitter choosing what and what not censor and whom to muzzle.

Turnout this year might be just a liiiiiittle high. Texas has already passed the 2016 total vote total with one day of early voting left.

In 2016 NC had 3.17 million; we've already surpassed 4 million. My sister-in-law is a precinct judge; she said Tuesday will be a 24-hour work day for her.

What is the access to early voting versus 2016 I wonder. Like I said in 2008 in my town (I voted via absentee because of college) there was no early voting center, LA county only had 3 places for early voting then.

I think people are voting early for many reasons. I think there will be violence on election day, specifically from one side of the spectrum. And if that violence is bad we could have an equally bad reaction to that.

 

[SpitfireV]

I think that at the very least you guys will have a much higher than usual voter turnout at least, and that is a good thing considering previous numbers.

 

[Sohei]

We set new records for early voting in my state. I early voted because most of our voting areas were destroyed by Hurricane Laura so they have set up mega voting centers and I didn't want to deal with the lines so I gave early voting a try. The lines were fairly long but moved with ease. I was pleasantly surprised.

 

[GOTWA]

Not only is my mom in her 50s and now a registered voter for the first time in her life, as of yesterday she's now a first time gun owner. She's voting for Trump.

So, I would expect there are many that feel the same was as her.
