My "Bernie Bro" son purposely did not vote yesterday in case it helps Trump.

I could see my son was disappointed, but thoughtfully realistic about this election. When it was time for him to go vote, he said he did not know which candidate would help defeat Trump, so he needed to "sit this one out".

He is also very pissed that Trump is manipulating the stock market by lowering interest rates - and I believe my son is a bellwether of many people affected by the volatility of the stock market.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

a slight shifting of roles here. Our sons are now playing a bigger part of providing sound advice to us.

Dropped 6-figures.

Holy shit. I was hoping there was a decimal in there somewhere...there was not.

He's a Repuke...maybe he will see the light.

contribute to instability of the stock market, and see it as a political ploy. When Trump was elected I put my money in guaranteed 3% growth (I'm too old to worry).

Typical wealthy Repuke.
