BloodyHell Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 14 hours ago, marioandsonic said: I need to get this all off of my chest. It's no secret I'm one of the doomsayers on this board. The 2016 election shocked pretty much all of us on this board, and I was no exception. But 2016 wasn't a dark and bleak year for me just because of that. During that same fall, I had quit my job to work at a more lucrative position, and I thought things couldn't be better. Long story short, I was let go less than three weeks later with little to no explanation why. Broke and living with my parents, the only work I could get for the time was a seasonal position at Best Buy, and I hated every moment of it. It wasn't until February of 2017 that my old job had an opening and was able to take me back. Right around that time, though, my younger brother was arrested for drug issues. I won't go into too much detail about that here, but the event that led to his arrest was also traumatic for me, and I imagine my parents as well. From then on, I haven't felt right. I feel like the one-two-three punch of that fall and winter broke something in me. Now I can't feel optimistic about anything. I always assume the worse of everything. When I got my job back, I felt like I was going to lose it soon. When I finally had the chance to meet a longtime friend I had met online back in 2008, I assumed it was a cruel and elaborate ruse. When the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, I couldn't celebrate it at all, because I was sure that some NFL referee bullshit was going to take it away. When I actually got an offer for an even better job that allowed me to move out, I assumed they would let me go within a week (even now, I still feel that my manager it going to give me a phone call telling me I'm out.) When I got my beloved cat, I was convinced that he would hate me, and that I should just give him back to the humane society so that he would have a better owner. And that leads us to now. I wholeheartedly believe that, no matter what the election results, whether if Biden barely pulls it out or win in at 400+ electoral vote landslide, Trump will remain president. I don't know how, I don't know why, but that's what I believe. I don't believe that we'll ever find a vaccine for Covid. I don't believe that things will ever go back to normal. I don't believe anything positive will ever happen ever again. This is not normal. i shouldn't think this way. And I hate it. Man, talk to your doctor about anti-depressants. If yoy can’t afford them, have no drug plan, etc, message me and Ill send you the money for them. Just get the help you need to rake care of yourself and feel better. Oh, and run, the dopamine increase helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email, obtained by The Sentinel, went so far as to ask for the address and room numbers of ballot storage locations, and requested that the information be sent to the Gmail account of a Florida-based Trump operative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some big progressives initiatives that took place in that state. The suburbs have really trended Democratic in Kansas, and with Democrats' ability to actually be competitive in statewide or Senate elections (not always winning, but most certainly competitive), I've long wondered if there could be an eventual path in that state despite its voting history for Republicans.

But based on the numbers you posted, Biden has triple the lead in the polls that Hillary had. The only way Trump should win now is either due to massive polling errors, massive vote tampering/suppression, or both.

Spork3245 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Saying polls are wrong is kinda like saying a weather forecast is wrong. It’s not definitive and not meant to be. Saying it’s 90% likely for Biden means there’s a 10% chance for Trump - if Trump somehow pulls an upset, that’s the 10%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
