When you frame the problem incorrectly, all your variables come out wrong.
(Addendum: I headed over to my polling place about 1600 local time. Normally there's 10-12 people, and it takes about 5 minutes to get inside to vote. This time, 80 people ahead of me. Took 45 minutes to get inside, took 2 minutes to vote. For the first time in years, on a multi-page paper ballot with check boxes. Not punch cards, not electronic voting machines. When I came out, the line was 100+ people long, snaking down the length of building and then halfway around the block. Another 40-50 folks while I waited showed up to drop off their mail-in ballots. And the location was open for early voting since last week. Whatever the final results, the turnout looks to be epic.)
That fits my position almost perfectly.
ReplyDeleteBingo. When Trump was elected in '16, I told my wife that this didn't change what would eventually happen, but would "flatten the glidepath" a little, giving us more time to prepare for the inevitable.
ReplyDeleteBeing behind enemy lines my national vote is just flipping the bird at the filth, nevertheless I flipped it.
ReplyDeleteThere are several citizens initiatives that are looking good to give a giant middle finger to yhe outgoing govenor.
Winners never quit and quitters never win....
ReplyDeleteI agree. If he gets back in (and the only way he doesn't is cheating), he'll slow the slide and let us get into a better position for when things get worse.
ReplyDeleteIf the girl gets in, the current trajectory will continue..

Even if Rump wins, it only buys time.
ReplyDeleteThis will not change, until Washington DC, NYFC, and Sacramento, CA disappear in a series of blinding white flashes.
At that point, things change.
We avoided the margin of fraud.
