Almost.

The anxiety won’t entirely go away till they call this freaking nightmare of an election, the likes of which I’ve never seen before.

I’ve followed politics for a long, long time, as in one of my earliest memories was JFK’s inauguration, with my mother explaining to little three-year-old me what a president was and how this man was the new one. At which point I had to ask about the old one, so we got early on into the peaceful transition of power.

She and my dad had voted for Kennedy, hope and change ........

...... today, I saw two things that made me realize that everything is probably going to turn out okay after all. We’re doing a mock election at school, one in which students, parents, and teachers can vote for President, Senate, and House of Representatives. It’s the National Student/Parent Mock Election. When you vote, you can see the percentages from other voters in your state.

Hillary is leading Trump, 54% to 29%. In Georgia. ............ more .....

4. If only men voted

6. That is now outdated.

The mean of these two is Clinton 323, same as the dKos prediction.

5. I'm ignoring MSM

watched the Cubs parade and rally!!!!!! OVER 5 MILLION people!!!

I think that all this negative coverage is with the intent of suppressing the vote. After all, why vote if it's hopeless? Well, I got news for those assholes. THIS nasty woman is voting, and so is her entire damn family!

7. Nobody is reporting that it's "hopeless"

[DemonGoddess]

9. No, but they're sure doing a good job at trying to scare

people away from voting. I've voted in hopeless elections, this is NOT one of them.

Even though we all KNEW Carter would not be re-elected by the time I cast my ballot, I voted for him anyway. I'll be DAMNED if I let naysayers suppress me or anyone I know.

10. I would hope that would have the opposite effect and it drives Dem's out to the polls...scares

people into action. If anything they are painting this as "close" so we need all hands on deck. But I agree with you, even if it wasn't close (as you describe with Carter) I would still vote for my candidate.

12. I think they're massively understating

the effect the votes of women are going to have this election cycle.

13. I really hope so as it will restore my faith in the American people.

8. Michelle said that at the rally yesterday, negativity is part of voter suppression.

Of course, they likely have impacted their own supporters more since they broadcast inside a bubble.

11. JFK was my first vote. Will never forget..n/t
