1. Happines factor is a variation on that theme.

In the military, we plotted a graph of happiness factor, where HF equals time in divided by time remaining. The curve is depressingly flat for the first three years or so, then begins to steepen. During the final few weeks, the curve becomes very steep, as HF approaches a nearly infinite value. Try graphing it with a spreadsheet, and you'll see what I mean.

2. There should be a Defcon Alert at the top of the home page starting in January.

4. It SOUNDS like a good idea, but maybe closer to the end? Right now, four years is going to seem

like a FUCK-LOAD of time, for lack of a more eloquent description. Maybe a countdown to the 2018 Election, and then to the Democratic Primaries, which will be a welcome distraction.

Some of us suffer from anxiety and I don't think that will help in the least.

8. They'll steal the next election too, there's nothing to stop them seeing the DNC wants to focus...

... on working with a traitor.

We get the DNC to focus on this traitor and putting him in jail and protecting the voting process then a countdown counter would be great
