Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Punishingly Intricate

We've been talking about going out of state to drive people to the polls. MD is locked down pretty tight for dems but it could make a difference in one of our neighboring states.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The right wing people I know on facebook don't post any pro-Trump stuff, but they post plenty of anti-Hillary things. They really hate her. I'm hoping they're leaning toward just not voting.

Many moons ago, I said that we'd find out exactly how much America hates women in this election. I'm not really feeling uplifted by my country right now, more like we're in a sack of shit that's on fire.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can't imagine how terrifying it must be to be black and female right now.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Gud,I'm glad to hear that she's doing better. Still sending you lots of love and strength.

lisah, PA could use your help. It's a battle zone here.

I've convinced EMTGuy that this is not the year for a protest vote. He told me last night he's voting for HRC, because it might not make a difference for him as a white CIS-male, he definitely realizes it would be dangerous for women and minorities. Score 1 point for the good guys.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Last week I was actually having nightmares about Trump winning. I'm hoping that the debate helped shift some of the "undecideds" over to the Democratic side. I saw somewhere that even some of his new-Nazi supporters thought he did badly ... or at least not as well as they'd expected.

On the decidedly bright side, The Arizona Republic, which has endorsed Republicans since its founding in 1890, has gone for Clinton.

The right wing people I know on facebook don't post any pro-Trump stuff, but they post plenty of anti-Hillary things. They really hate her.

That is why I asked that question on FB yesterday. It was an interesting discussion. I don't think anyone's minds were changed, but I appreciate all who contributed.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

He told me last night he's voting for HRC, because it might not make a difference for him as a white CIS-male, he definitely realizes it would be dangerous for women and minorities. Score 1 point for the good guys.

Aw yay. He's one of the good guys.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good for EMTGuy! And good for you for persuading him, Maria. Saner heads do sometimes prevail.,

YEah- it is discouraging. This person generally has an open, logical mind, but he is using his logic illogically. Or something.

Yeah, there's no openness or logic there. He's not using his brain. He's made up his mind and is using insane troll logic to justify his decision.

That is why I asked that question on FB yesterday. It was an interesting discussion. I don't think anyone's minds were changed, but I appreciate all who contributed.

It was civil and interesting and made me want to cry because it scared me to pieces. I've got a neuroatypical queer child. This is not the world I want for her.
