Hey Clint, I feel for you and the entire 🇺🇸 We had our General Election recently too. Like your election it was the most crucial one for many a year. I couldn't support the Conservatives and neither could I support the Labour party. I tactical voted for an independent party. However I still maintain my support for Labour principles, if not the party. I'm not too sure of which are the equivalent political parties in 🇺🇸 Also of course whichever political party wins, they become the Government straight away. No 6 months lead in. There is no aggression or a lost leader throwing his dummy (baby soother) out of the pram. Here it's if you win, you win and lose, you lose. No charging the Capitol steps guns blazing claiming Fake results. Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now 😎 Cheers DougT 🇫🇴

I think I've got it...as long as Tories are the conservatives: Conservatives are the equivalent to our Republican party. And Labour is equivalent to our Democratics. Like you, I don't play with either, though third party candidates here are so crazy I don't both. I'm a moderate liberal politically and personally, so the Dems tend to get my vote. Even if I do think they stink. Not as bad as the other side, but when the Orange KKKool-Aid Man is trying to get everyone to drink, I run the other way. Our politics are just a bad reality tv show at this point. :-/

Of course you're nervous about the election, it's probably the most important election of our lifetime. It certainly doesn't help that it's being thrown at us from all different directions on a daily basis. The media is having a field day with it. And some jerk named "Scam Likely" keeps calling me several times a day. I don't know anyone by that name which is why I don't bother answering the phone. He's probably some damn robo caller. I have learned the best thing we can probably do is carry on as best as we can with our daily routine and try to block out the political stuff because it does get overwhelming. There is not much we can do other than get out there and vote and hope for the best, and maybe throw a commemorative fruit pie at the bullies.

Between "Scam Likely" and "Spam Likely" I wish the entire Likely Family would take the hint: I ain't buying (or falling for) whatever they're trying to scam...I mean sell. :-p

As for the media, their days are numbered. Corrections continue to happen, for better and worse, because of their rampant bias and misinformation. Fact-checking them is exhausting, so I mostly don't even turn on those channels anymore. Easier to stay calm and carry on. Ya know? Cheers!
