Will anyone else be as happy as me when the election is over?

I mean, let's face it, we all know Clinton is going to win, thank God. There's no real suspense, but 90% of GD is dedicated to talking about what a dickhead Trump is, on which we're all in agreement. Even LBN is half Trump.

What happened to porn wars and Olive Garden, when we could all just have a good time arguing like hell?

We need a little something to liven up this joint. I love cat pics as much as the next guy, but nothing satisfies like a knockdown dragout fight over whether Spider Woman's ass on a comic cover is sexist.

I didn't even know there was a Spider Woman before that epic rant thread.

BTW, I don't think it was sexist at all. If you looked through that thread, you'll recall that there was an almost identical pose of Spider Man.

See - this is much more entertaining than one more denunciation of Donald Trump. A thread that can get people going nose-to-nose discussing the political and social implications of Spider Woman's ass is much more worthy of GD, in my opinion, and a hell of a lot more fun.

so in my mind there's that totally impossible long shot of Trump being President because where he's sitting right this minute was utterly, completely, impossible just within the last year.

If I didn't know much history I might think it would never happen here, but, unfortunately for me, I'm somewhat cognizant of history, so I'm no longer feeling we're the greatest in the world anymore. The wool is no longer covering my eyes.

for anyone who doesn't think Clinton will win. Hell, I'm thinking about starting a betting pool over how many electoral votes she'll get and/or her percentage of the popular vote. She'll get a larger percentage than Obama got against Romney.

But then, I supported Bernie and am going to vote for Hillary but not all that enthusiastically. All my life I've been a Progressive so this time it's harder than ever to not feel disappointed and a bit depressed. So, even though there will be much less enthusiasm coming from me my vote is still worth the vote of the most enthusiastic out there.

Tons of political stuff to bet on and it is legal in the U.S.
The two surest bets, though they won't pay much, is which party wins NY state and will Repubs get 370 electoral votes.
You can bet on most any race, what polls will say on a given date, and tons of other things.
Do note that they charge you 5% when you withdraw money, and 10% on any profit.
You can continually buy and sell in their markets.

I did make a good sum in 2012 betting on Obama on the Irish site Intrade, which no longer exists.
That one was difficult as you had to wire money. For Predictit a credit card is just fine.

So they can get people thinking about 2020 even before the 2016 election is over.

People in the real world are at each others' throats, people are on here (like I've seen for so many elections on DU now), etc etc. I'm tired of it, myself.

I catch the evening commentary on MSNBC, as well as skimming the posts a bit on DU, and then that's all I really want to hear about it.

I sometimes think I'd like to go to sleep and wake up in November with Clinton as your president (and from a selfish point of view, that might calm down or at least not further inflame our own current political nightmare).

If the unthinkable were to happen, I might prefer to sleep for 100 years, and then wake up to a new day, assuming the world even still exists by then!
