I have no real issue with whoever wins, so long as they are trying to make things better.

The election should be about how the party/elected official will make things better.

I take issue when the party/elected official's goal is to make things worse for their electorate, or a specific subset thereof.

See, it shouldn't be about 'winning' and 'losing' it should be about how.

Need to get from Montreal to Toronto?

The options are:
  • Car
  • Bus
  • Train
  • Plane

You might want plane, and the electorate say train. Sure it's not exactly how you wanted to get there, but you're still getting there.

Things go wonky when one party says "Need to get to Toronto? I'm gonna burn the train!"

an 81-year-old with poor polling numbers
a then 78-year-old wannabe dictator with 91 charges
a crazy conspiracy theorist who references his family name every two sentences

comforting to know that, in a time in which the world is literally on fire, the US has got its act together ...

Based on what's shaping up down there, I'd happily see a wall along the Canadian border!

I'm convinced Trump will win.

it's what this world deserves. Everything must fall to anarchy before the healing can truly begin.

If there was ever a true agent of Anarchy to do it, it is Trump.

Let's just hope we all survive the ride.

Why is suddenly everybody ever associated with a successful politician considered to be some heir apparent?

the Michelle Obama thing has been a staple among right-wing conspiracy theories for a while. Don't get it at all, but then again, the Obamas seem to trigger the MAGA folk in general, for some reason.

Ever since it became a reality show instead of a democracy.

They’re happily married, Black, smart, well-spoken, Democrats….

Do you need more reasons?
