These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

    I voted, but since I’m not in a swing state I wouldn’t go so far as to say my vote counted.

      House and Senate matter far more than the presidency, without them the president has very little influence on policy with exception of veto power.

      With 2/3 control, the president wouldn’t even have veto power and would be entirely powerless.

      Vote for your congressional representation! This is the one day that the little guys can determine the policy direction of the country.

        I voted mostly for my local elections. Those are sometimes determined by a dozen votes and can have a huge impact on day to day life.

      Iowa wasn’t considered a swing state till the Selzer Poll. Thank you for helping to build consensus!
