I guess the rules change when the polling isn't in your favor.  I should've learned my lession via the Democratic nominee process.  Kamala on SNL last night was a direct contradiction to the statement below. 

Just weeks ago, SNL’s Lorne Michaels said that they *would not* be bringing any of the candidates on due to election and equal time laws:

That should swing it to Kamala.  Shut the lights out and head on home.

Wife and I just went to vote. Short line, 4 workers doing their jobs. Booths were pretty full.

In and out in 8 minutes 

Neither candidate got my vote

Schools can’t even serve real potato chips but u think they are giving out surgeries. Think for yourself.

Why would schools have real or fake potato chips?

The lettuce in the "salad bar" was yellow more than green.  The peas were mushy.  The corn was something you would feed to a horse.  The best thing on the menu was the square cut cardboard like pizza.  

So the crazies are getting more brash. A professor wants to line up and shoot men who won't vote for Kamala lol

I'm all for Trump winning just to see these idiots completely meltdown. But then I'll have to listen to people whining about Trump's tweets for 4 more years.

Really don't want another 4 years of Trump saying stupid shit, and the media making up even more stupid shit he didn't do.  Would be really nice just to move on from Trump.  But then that means Kamala and the Dems get rewarded for their underhanded shit.  It's a lose-lose.

Scrolling through Twitter and came across this ad. Probably the best one I've seen so far from either campaign.

I read up on the dumb thing and some help by a couple on this thread. If you want me to vote “yes” on something, there can’t be any tricks or readings the average 7th grader can’t understand. That issue didn’t want my thoughts…it wanted to challenge my reading comprehension and stamina.

It reads like the opponents to it drafted it.

Well yeah, most liberal women are moronic 1 issue voters.  Save that stance for your state elections, the federal government has no place in allowing/not allowing abortion. 

I'm a little late to the party on this one, as it happened about 5 days ago and was probably mentioned, but a Chinese National student at the SCUM in Ann Arbor, voted illegally and the state is claiming they can't trace the vote so it's going to count. That's very comforting to know, not.

NO government has a place for that decision.

Who thinks there is an OR at a school? Is this just a random thing to say here?

Agreed.  Power to the people.

As far as the abortion thing goes, I've always thought safe legal and rare was the way to go. That used to be the Dem stance before Trump came along.

But now the party is all but saying that women can't figure out how to form advocacy groups or how to lobby their state legislatures AS THEY SEE FIT. I don't know how that kind of messaging helps. I'm not saying it won't - but it kind of challenges their ads portraying women being the HBIC. And then there's the other conflicting ad that women are slinking around the voting booths hiding their votes from their husbands. So which message is the strongest and resonates best with women? 

- The secretive and timid woman?

- The sassy Brat Summer woman?

- The stupid woman who can't organize?

The woman who makes a choice with no interference from any government entity?

Sure, but has that been in the messaging? (the point of my post)

The Democrats offer no solution because it's their only real political ammo.  If they're all so passionate about women's rights, why didn't Obama codify Roe v Wade and just be done with it all?

Because it brings in more money as a campaign promise than it ever will as law.

Meanwhile Dems big mad that Bush hasn't endorsed Kamala. Just voting for her is not enough lol!
