One Tiny Political Thought

I just felt the need to jot down this one little thought on the 2024 Presidential election so that someday in the future I might find it here and remember what I was feeling at this particular moment in history.

Eight years ago I was definitely ready for the United States to have a woman President.

Today, I am even more ready for the United States to have a woman President.

Like I said, just writing that down and sending it off to the universe just so that it’s around for future reference.

Thanks for indulging me.

Unity and Stuff

So… Biden is dropping out of the presidential race. He endorsed Vice President Harris. I don’t know how that is going to work as far as the convention and the nomination process will work over the next few weeks but…

I was really pissed off and feeling like the universe was kicking me while I was down…

But then…

Depression turned to anger which then turned to passionate determination.

Kamala Harris is going to kick the shit out of that nazi fuck. She’s going to be a human fire hose who pressure washes the filth out of our country. Hell yes.

I may or may not have just donated a few bucks to the Harris for President campaign.

Maybe in some weird, unexpected way, all of this ridiculousness is going to unite us against the fascist scumbag. A boy can hope at least, right?

Is Liz Warren Busy Right Now?

Shit.

Seriously… shit.

President Biden has apparently announced that he’s dropping out of the election.

We the people are completely fucked.

Are we going to get another primary? Are we going to just ignore the primary system and go back to the old system of just having state delegates pick the candidate at the convention? The convention starts on August 19th. Can we swing a new primary by then? What is my Senator, Elizabeth Warren up to right now? She got a presidential primary vote from me once before, can she get another one now?

I’ll happily vote for Vice President Harris if that’s how this works out, but I think this move more or less guarantees a win for the orange nazi goo boy and fascism, and it probably signals a quick and painful end to this American experiment thing.

American democracy had a good run, I guess.

Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck

Now What?

After a day’s worth of celebrating Biden’s win we need to start gearing ourselves up for the cheeto’s backlash. He’s never going to admit he lost. His narcissism cannot understand the concept of people not loving him. He’s going to sue everyone under the sun, he’s going to lie and rant and rave like the lunatic he is. He’s going to do everything he can to convince his base that he was robbed. He’s slime and he’s going to get slimier.

The inauguration is 73 days away.
The electoral college vote is 36 days away.

Still Waiting

Pennsylvania and Georgia are still seeing a slow increase in the lead for Biden. Arizona’s lead is still shrinking. Nevada is… Nevada.

Am I still freaking out on Tuesday Take Five? You bet your sweet red white and blue ass I am.

We are getting to distraction time. We watched a Harry Potter movie last night while trying not to watch the news. Today there are some chores to do, there are guitar parts to record (I’ve decided that the rest of November will be played on my SG, you heard it here first), I’ve started binge re-watching The Flash because… I don’t know why, and there are still more Harry Potter movies to see.

All while we wait for the last few states to count the last few ballots. Please let it end today.

Nutz

Biden’s lead in Pennsylvania continues to grow, slowly but steadily.

The lead in Georgia is small and getting minutely smaller at a snail’s pace.

The lead in Arizona is still small but substantial though it too is shrinking very slowly.

The lead in Nevada jumped up in a big way and then bounced up and down from there.

All four states are getting closer and closer to finishing their counts. I desperately want all four states to end with Biden on top. That won’t give me the landslide I was hoping for, but it will be a pretty convincing win.

I don’t know how much longer I can keep myself together. At least it’s Friday and I can vegetate tomorrow if I need to.

Ugh!

This is Killing Me

Last night Biden went ahead in Georgia. This morning he went ahead in Pennsylvania.

Sweet Christmas, this is killing me. I need this to end with Biden as the President Elect, and I need it to end today. I don’t think I can survive with my sanity intact if this stretches into the weekend.

Keep counting, America. Let’s wrap this puppy up.

Trends

The trends on the vote counts in Georgia and Pennsylvania look good but I can’t let myself get excited.

If I let myself get excited the home plate umpire is going to bounce Roger Clemens in the first inning.

If I let myself get excited Aaron fucking Boone is going to homer in extra innings.

If I let myself get excited Bucky fucking Dent is going to put one into the screen over the Monster.

If I let myself get excited the ball is going to go through Bill Buckner’s legs.

I can’t let myself get excited.

Beautiful Brutal Day

It’s 70 degrees here in Methuen, Massachusetts. I have the windows open in the bedroom/office and the wind is blowing like crazy outside and it’s making a cross breeze in here that is just delightful. It’s just a gorgeous day out here.

However, there has been barely any movement announced for any of the states that are still counting votes. Biden is still ahead in Arizona and Nevada. He’s still behind in North Carolina and Alaska, and he’s still gaining ground in Pennsylvania and Georgia. If it stays this way it will put Biden up to 270 electoral votes and he will win.

I am, of course, more interested in accuracy than speed but… come on guys, get to the counting. We need the info! This is brutal!
