    And to think most of you won't even be around anymore when we're truly dealing with the implications stemming from the next 4 years. 

    We don’t anticipate not being here. They’ll be good implications. Bad for you maybe.

    As a well off straight white male I'm sure I'll be fine. 

    But I'm concerned about the implications for other groups and for future generations.tl

    Trump has said a lot of very concerning shit. His cronies even moreso. I just hope he doesn't actually act on most of it

    The mudslinging is awful on both sides. Major turn off, but it seems to work, or at least bring results closer. 51-49% or 52-48% isn't a decisive outcome.

    America wants more compromising, but the parties don't hear it.

    Would love a third party but that's a pipe dream right now

    True, it would take an unreal amount of money,plus a very neutral-type platform to break through and make a difference. You might be too young, but Ross Perot was actually gaining ground in the early 90s as a 3rd party Independent. Had a decent showing at the polls....guess what? The Ds & Rs met, and made sure that would never happen again, and changed the rules (for debates and 3rd party candidates). When Perot tried to run again in 1996, he was stymied, and honestly, his messages were a little too crazy at that point in time. 

    I still cannot believe $500 million was spent on a single-seat Ohio Senate race. We should all be up in arms about that, no matter who you support.

    I'd say VP Vance has come up like a miracle.  From a upbringing in a small SE Ohio town to VP.  Guy is smart as hell.   He does a great job he can be the President for 8 years after Trump leaves office.  😁😁

    four years of being VP under Pres Trump - he will be a GREAT candidate. And a very qualified Commander-in-Chief.

    so many of the young college harris kids have no idea to consider that.

    Why don’t you just sit

    the adults straighten out the mess from the last 4 years.

    should have zero obstacles in his way.  Time to perform.

    Your question makes no sense. 

    I've told you and others repeatedly on here I don't like the Democrats. That I didn't think Biden was a good candidate and that I didn't think Kamala was either. I've said this shit repeatedly and you all refuse to listen. Your heads are so far up Trump's massive ass that any criticism of him and you just assume that person is a die hard Democrat. 

    I was lesser evil voting, unfortunately. It is a same shame our two parties are one that is incompetent, doesn't listen to what people actually want, condescending, and trying to basically be more conservative on issues and the other party is out to actively set our country back. 

    Ranked choice voting gives third parties a chance. It expands the options for voters. It better allows for politicians more in like with the will of the people. 

    It amazes me how conservatives are somehow against this. They're so blindly ride or die Trump they refuse anything that might limit his power. Crazy.

    It's stupid and it has nothing to do with Trump. How does rank voting limit his power? Don't answer, I don't really care. It's stupid.

    It dilutes the legitimate choices to vote for. It's bs. "different" doesn't mean "better". Whatever floats your beak? As usual, ranked choice is a clusterfook designed to enable fringe parties to get attention. It's bs.

    All you have is rage and misunderstanding. You don't like it because the Republican party doesn't like it. That's it. You've never given a legitimate reason to be against it. 

    Ranked choice voting gives voters more choice and helps us along on elected politicians more in like with what the majority wants. 

    You just screech and foam at the mouth at any change that's presented. Again, you only care about giving your party power, and not what's best for the country. It's sad.

    in other words, you can't refute what I posted. Your accusations are just cya for your own ignorance. I JUST POSTED that the people of Alaska are going to decide to get RID of it for the PROBLEMS IT CREATES.
