It happens multiple times a day.

Neither of us is watching 24/7 ... but he and I are constantly tell each other something that the other had not heard yet.

I'll suggest to him we take actual shifts. Might be easier.

I am finding it harder and harder to not refresh this site. I have to actively force myself to go do something for 10 minutes before coming back and refreshing. I have been a viewer of this site for a long time and just now this election finally signed up. But this place has been the only place I can find sanity.

Agreed on reliving what went down in 2000-2008. Cannot do that again.

My husband is laughing at the whole circus because he's positive Trump has no chance of winning.

This does not end Nov 9...

If HRC wins by a landslide there will be week/s of accusations and teeth gnashing.

If the election is close this will end up in court like bush v gore and who knows how long it will drag on for. Especially given the situation with SCOTUS.

I'm on sabbatical right now so not seeing people but I know a brazillion shrinks and it's apparently a source of great anxiety. Heck, it's what WE talk about. It's altering us.

And babies, we'd better make this turn out right.

I feel the exact same way! I can't seem to stop refreshing or checking the TV numerous times a day, and my mom is exactly the same way. She and I were laughing this morning because we tell ourselves that today we won't pay any attention to this crazy election and just take a break, but within 30 minutes, we're checking to see if there's new drama. I have been so incredibly stressed out that I'm literally noticing my hair is beginning to fall out, and I don't sleep well. I can't wait for Hill to win, so I can recover.

Trump and his hilarious surrogates are non-stop entertainment. Their stupidities come so fast and furious it's almost impossible to get caught up. For progressive political junkies, this has got to be the funniest month on record and it's not even over yet.

And really, this is just the warm up act. When he loses we're really going to have a hard time breathing for another week or so as their tears of impotent rage push many over the edge and into jail.

And no, I'm not worried about whatever violence they threaten or actually commit because I'm guessing there won't be that much.

If we win back the Senate in the bargain they're really going to have something to get upset about for real 'cause my guess is that Hillary will not be as magnanimous as Barrack was in dealing with the GOP.

The main concern I have is that we must win in such large and overwhelming numbers that there's no possible way for them to spin it as "fraud". We need a clear mandate in order to pass the type of progressive legislation this country needs and which has been so long overdue.

Whenever Trump does or says something fucking incredibly sexist, racist, or plain fucking stupid, the App sends you an alert.
