You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just don't see how this is meant to reflect negatively on her.

Because the country has gone insane.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I guess I don't see how it's going to lose her any votes.

Thrive to spite them

I don't know if it's going to lose votes from people who have already decided but it might change the minds of people who haven't.

It reminds me so much of Parks and Rec when Leslie has the flu.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would be shocked if there were many people who are currently undecided who will actually vote in November. But I have been shocked with the political system a lot this year!!

I just don't see how this is meant to reflect negatively on her.

It's bad because it attaches itself to the narrative about her. She was hiding her illness, is she really telling the truth about her health, etc... I think the votes it could lose are people who don't like either candidate. Those potential votes probably won't go to Trump, but could go to Gary Johnson or just staying home on election day. I don't think there are enough of those kind of voters to make a big difference though.

What really mystifies me is how can Trump be so close when he has no support among blacks, barely any support among latinos and hispanics, little support from college educated women, and poor support from college educated whites in general. Are there really that many non-college-educated white males?

That's what I think, too. I'm pretty sure the election is already decided.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Think about who gets polled? How are polls being conducted? Are some of them still calling on landlines?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

For those keeping track, I ended up voting for the BLS grad.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh man, just got an angry email from one of my bosses. I know they want to get rid of me and I feel like a failure. I was already taking a vacation day so I am going to start applying for jobs. I was hoping this job would last until we moved, but I guess not.
