LOCKED: A Little PSA For Tomorrow

[ArcherSPS]

Regardless of who wins tomorrow, this country isn't going to spontaneously combust. Please don't fill the board with threads proclaiming the world is going to end or that candidate ____________ is going to drive the country off the cliff.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Or that candidate __________ somehow has the magical **** to turn everything around.

 

[was21]

True. We're just going to have four years of gridlock and neither of them would be reelected probably. The media has driven all the frenzy

 

[Sancho Panza]

Avoid the long lines. Late Voting begins Wednesday, November 9th.

jk LoL

 

[SwampDawg]

Speaking of gridlock though, the Executive Order thing has been exercised by Obama enough that both candidates are well aware of how it works. If you want a law and it doesn't exist just issue an order. If a law exists and you don't like it just ignore it and tell your people to ignore it. Then see if the "leaders" of the other party have the guts to do anything about it.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Yep. If you haven't watched this 60 Minutes piece with Frank Luntz, this will tell you how people feel about this election.

[FlotownDawg]

Whoever is elected tomorrow I feel will only be a one term president. Both are so unpopular already, so give them four years in charge and their popularity rating will nosedive farther. All it will take is for a nice guy with little baggage (Paul Ryan?) to run and he'll win it by default.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Please make me feel good about open borders...I`m not feeling it now

 

[Tin Cup Cowboy]

I just hope for a day when I have a candidate that I want to vote for, not a candidate that I feel I need to vote against.

 

[Xenomorph]

I voted for Ross Perot. Dude's bar graphs were in tents.

 

[8dog]

I watched that. It was so demoralizing. The people couldnt even have anythingnear a reasonable back and forth on anything.

The Adam Ruins Everything election special was interesting too.

Well said, good sir

PSA Announcement #2: Reminder, no matter who you are voting for, buy your alcohol to drown your sorrows today because you can't buy tomorrow until polls close, at least in MS you can't

 

[Bulldogg31]

If we elect that awful person we're all doomed.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

This is true. But we aren't going to be better either way it goes and I don't know of a quick fix to remedy it all. It's going to be interesting to see what happens going forward because it seems like everyone is pissed.

 

[Southern Law Dawg]

Please make me feel good about open borders...I`m not feeling it now

Should Hillary win, which early voting indicates that she will by ~5 points, the borders will be no more open than they are right now. Statistics show that in the last few years more Mexicans have left the country than entered. You'll be fine.

If that isn't enough for you, she might take the senate by 1-2 senators, but she won't have the house, so even if open borders were her goal, she won't accomplish it in the current political climate.

If you think she is going to do some dictatorial stuff and just mandate it, there is nothing I can do to ease your tension because you live in a fact free mindset and are posting from a bunker where you are still waiting for Obama to send his FEMA storm troopers to take your guns.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I agree.

Don't forget: this is the most important election of our lifetime, especially if we don't live until 2020. Otherwise, that will be the most important election of our lifetime, especially if we don't live until 2024. Otherwise, ...

 

[AssEndDawg]

Please make me feel good about open borders...I`m not feeling it now

Unless you are a Native American then open borders got your family here. Feel better?

 

[Dolphus Raymond]

Thanks for the rational post Southern Law Dog and others. Clinton is probably going to win, (easily) but please RELAX people. She will more than likely have a Senate majority but the House should stay Republican.
And, if you are in the "Hillary will abolish the Second Amendment " crowd, you should have paid better attention in 12 grade Civics and Government.

 

[ShrubDog]

Why she allowed to run is the only thing I don't understand. Apparently laws are only meant for other people. The depth of corruption in our government has been brought to light. Its no longer a conspiracy theory.

 

[Dolphus Raymond]

In the spirit of full disclosure, I am a Democrat and Sanders supporter. That being said, why in the name of The Divine did the Republicans nominate a sure loser? Had they nominated John Kasich, this election would have been over before it started.

 

[ShrubDog]

Statistics show that in the last few years more Mexicans have left the country than entered. You'll be fine.

This sounds like a talking point from MSNBC.

The Mexicans are only one group of people. How about the rest of the South Americans, Middle Easterners and Asians. What do the statistics say about them? Cherry picking with Mexicans is not a great sample.

 

[The Peeper]

The biggest impact she has, at least long term, will be determined by the number of Supreme Court nominations she is able to make

This could appy to either side.

 

[Junction John]

He wasn't a sure loser at the time. Hell it's been close, even up until now.

I'm guessing most of the electorate didn't know about the secret conversation from 15 years ago where he said he fondled women. And I'm assuming he didn't expect those to come back up.

 

[patdog]

Because the Republican Party is a cluster 17. Whether Trump is a sure loser or not, he's definitely NOT the candidate the Party wanted to nominate. Trump and Sanders both tapped into a similar support base, people who are frustrated with career politicians and both national parties. The difference is, the Democratic Party rallied around their one candidate early on and she was able to beat Sanders. The Republican Party sat around and hoped things would work out while all the candidates they would prefer over Trump split votes long enough for Trump to build an insurmountable lead.

 

[thatsbaseball]

My family didn`t come to this country to terrorize or harm anyone.

 

[thatsbaseball]

1) I would just like to know who is entering our country. 2) If people are coming to work and better themselves bring them on.....if they`re coming to get on the government teet I don`t think we can afford them now. 3) As far as your final condescending last paragraph....go 17 yourself....it was un-called for.

 

[thatsbaseball]

"cluster 17" would actually be an upgrade for the Republican party

 

[8dog]

Im curious as to why people care so much about supreme court noms either way. I cannot think of a single hand down that impacted my life in any way.

 

[KurtRambis4]

What qualifies

one as being a "native American?"

The joy of being a straight white christian male, am I right?

Nah man, comes from facts, actually. Check this pew research article:

[8dog]

Ha and Those are the exact people who are so concerned about it.

 

[was21]

The supreme court appointment argument is overblown. There's no way to insure that an appointee will be extremely conservative or extremely liberal or anywhere in between. A one issue llitmus test should never be used to elect a president of the United States, according to me anyway

 

[The Peeper]

Every election day that I've lived in Rankin County for the last 20+ yrs the coolers are locked until 7:00 p.m.

 

[ShrubDog]

Naw man look what Kaine just said in Arizona.


“By 2050, communities of color will represent the majority of our population,” Kaine said. “So, of course, Latinos will help shape the future of America because you are the future of America.”

 

[MarkDallas]

They're confused

Soooo... name all the terror attacks perpetrated by people who came across the Mexican border. Yeah... that's what I thought. Come on man, these aren't bad people. And if you think they are then you just never lived near any of them. We have a large Hispanic community here in Memphis and they are good, hard working people just trying to get by. Probably exactly the same as your family when they came over.
