anyone who says the presidency doesn't meaningfully impact your life is woefully ignorant of what is at stake with this election. Never before has so much been on the line. If Biden wins, Harris will soon be president. Open borders, higher taxes, more and more gun restrictions and/or bans, packing the Supreme Court so that every decision goes to the liberals, more and more erosion of free speech with hate speech laws...so much more and all of it impacts every one of us and our kids and their kids...

Your anxiety is normal and appropriate.
There is data all around you that you try to ignore.
Trump is about to lose big and the Senate will go to the Dems.
Sorry.

You should be nervous. This isn’t turning late like 2016.

If you end up in a deep state of depression by whatever knucklehead is in the Oval Office for the next 4 years... or you end up in a worse place... that’s on you not the electorate.

I thought I’d be nervous as hell by this point, I’m more excited.

I think trump is right about his numbers. He looks excited. Has for weeks.

And Biden looks like Biden.

If polls were outlawed. How would you folks feel about the election with everything else we see?

And really, since polls are not outlawed, when it comes to these +17 Biden polls how many trump supporters do you really think said it’s not worth voting versus Biden supporters who said we will win whether I vote or not?

So we can assume you don’t pay taxes, or have any aspect of your life that depends on a vibrant economy.

Oil is a pretty big part of my industry.

Biden wanting to fight that industry affects me drastically.

So, yes, this particular presidential election impacts me.

The frick is wrong with you?

I have this strange calm feeling that Trump will win overwhelmingly and the litigation to follow will be in his favor. I think God is trying to give us a chance to save this nation

Anyone that claims they are not is lying.

Hopefully, it is all for naught

It shouldn’t.

But it will when overreaching Democrats seek to shut down your life in the name of justice.

And that’s exactly what covid has granted them the power to do.

I used to think that politics didn't affect me too much, but the rate at which Silicon Valley declined in the past 5 years negatuvely affected my life enough that we left. I don't want to see that happening to the rest of the country.

With you.

I posted in another similar thread that my wife (no pics) is in tourism industry which has been decimated by Chyna Plague. We've voluntarily given up her salary for the last 6 months to enable other employees to stay on salary. We're luckily positioned to be able to do so but the company she works for cannot go on forever. We can't do it forever. The've jettisoned and cut lean still so she's working a shitton of hours.

I do consulting work for an industry with present AOC+3 proposed legislation that would basically govermentise jobs like mine. I'd probably get on but where and would it be worth it?

I've got a child in Med-School. What type of profession will that kid walk into when they get out. Something completely foreign to today's world? Or something that kid has been dreaming of since they were 12?

Yeah, I'm fairly nervous.

I feel better than 2016. Honestly, I almost assumed the loss then.

Every four years on the Sunday evening before Election Day, someone says the exact same thing. This election is the one that ruins our country for one group of people.

And it never happens. It's almost like the people who built this country knew what they were doing.

Relax.

No, not really.

Most people aren't that attached to this.

Do you pay taxes? Do you have a job? Do you have a 401k? Do you drive a car or go anywhere by plane? Do you heat your house? Do you have children or grandchildren that will have to grow up in a socialist/Marxist country?

The list could go on & on. If you really believe the results of this election will not impact your life, then you have not been paying attention.
