I went to bed Tuesday thinking I was going to wake up to much better news lol, I feel mislead
On Halloween I had a friend I thought was fairly Democratic say he was close to voting for Trump and that's when I felt the dread.
Did they give a reason?
They're an insufferable asshole? I'd guess.
It was Halloween, so maybe "insufferable asshole" was their costume.
Guess which country gets to celebrate Halloween every day for the next 4 years!
Brave of you to assume it'll end after four years
That's the thing, he's not a bad guy, and he says he did vote for Harris. His politics are fairly left of center, and his wife is definitely way left of center.
He joked about the insane amount of spam texts he was getting, but no real answer. He did say he ended up voting Harris/Walz.
Hopefully he was also joking about possibly voting for Trump.
Hopefully, but it didn't matter a ton in Texas, Trump was likely to win here anyway.
Reminds me of 2016. All the polls and guesses were Hillary had it in the bag. Woke up that morning feeling like someone sucker punched me.
I've been wary of predictions since then if for nothing else than to save me from developing a drinking problem to cope. Expect the worst and you'll never be surprised.
I just assume the worst. Unfortunately this time I was right.
We'll have to see what happens when the final numbers come in, but I suspect the polls had it more wrong this time than in 2016. They actually weren't that far off at that time. People forget that Hillary did actually win the popular vote, and the national polls were within margin of error. That might not be the case this time.
