Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I look at it this way, Steph, when people are debating what to do in their mind, they telegraph their choices based on who they reach out to. Often what they want is confirmation. So reaching out to you when just about the only thing she knows is that you are pro-Hillary strikes me as an indication that she wants to vote for her, but hasn't figured out how to frame it to herself yet.

I think Trump has the advantage in the debates.

Sadly I do too, mostly since his voters will love watching him yell and rant and won't care what he says, while she will be held to that absurdly higher standard that we like to hold the presidential candidate who's out in front. Like when Bush could "win" a debate with Gore just by not fumbling.

That said I suspect there's a very small number of undecideds out there. I think the key is getting out the vote.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

ION, 4th Circuit says NC voting laws adopted with "discriminatory intent."

Yes, they were.

"The new provisions target African Americans with almost surgical precision."

Yes, they did.

The effect of new voting laws in NC and several other states is one of the things that has me worried about this election. I'm not sure that the various polls that show HRC ahead are taking them fully into account.

She also may be thinking of FB messenger as email and not meaning an immediate 7am response is required. Just because she's up then doesn't mean she wants answers NOW (she may not have your email!) I would think it perfectly fine to say, at some more convenient point, "sure, I'd love to send you some links tomorrow when I have more time", if you wanted.

That's probably true. I just...honestly don't want to do the work for her. I am out of spoons. No, I am running on negative spoons. And I just don't want to expend energy I don't have on someone I barely know.

Totes fair also! That's why I put "if you wanted" :)

Then don't.

Or if you want to just cut and paste, here's something.

Sorry I am really swamped right now, but here are the two party platforms as well as an aricle comparing them, read them through and see which one you agree with more.

Awww, thanks msbelle! I really appreciate that and I may use it.

(Not crying.) (Am crying.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(Just remember to send the actual links and not [link].)

Agreed that she didn't think of it as asking you for an immediate answer at 7am and also you never have to respond to anything you don't want it.

You all have to answer me whenever I ask you things, Jesse is lying.
