I can't wait to see the reactions of the folks with pensions and/or social security that were planning on retiring in 2025, 2026 or 2027.

I don't care what your political affiliation is, this third option in NV is stupid.

I would be pissed off to find out anyone that selected *none of the above. As you can see it really does matter in the outcome.

And here's our twisted freak lol

full text below

Congratulations to Donald J. Trump on his election as the 47th President of the United States.The U.S. is Canada’s best friend and biggest trading partner, and I will work with the President to benefit both countries.My mission: save our jobs. The U.S. has already taken half a trillion dollars of investment and jobs from Canada under 9 years of Trudeau, and our people cannot afford homes and food. Yesterday’s result confirms we must cancel Trudeau’s plan to quadruple the carbon tax and hike other taxes, which would push hundreds of thousands more jobs south where President Trump will be cutting taxes even further.We must axe taxes. Bring home our paycheques. Save our jobs. Stand up for Canada.

Honestly, all y'all need to do is wait for Trump's tariffs to get set. Then you can offer tax incentives for foreign companies to move manufacturing up there, particularly ones who rely on foreign produced components that get assembled into goods over here.

That's a lot of Toyota, Honda, VW and BMW cars that could be built up there. Computers, all sorts of stuff. Gotta think it would be cheaper for them to pay one tariff to send some completed product to the USA than it would be to pay 150 tariffs on the components to build said product.

Play on the moron's lack of understanding and it could be a boom. Even better if you can convince Trump to make the tariffs Canada pays lower because they're BFFs.

And of course put 50% tariffs on US made semiconductors coming in.

The only way a none of the above option works is if there is ranked choice voting.

And if you look at all the states that put it on the ballot, each one of them voted against it. There was very good propaganda out there telling people to vote against it.

If you look at all the graphics that are floating around with Stein's and the Libertarian idiot's totals from various places it really makes you understand WHY ranked choice works.

It's law in Alaska, a GOP stronghold, and it kept Sarah Palin out of office a second time.

Could more work have been done by the Dems to change the narrative? Maybe, but I think it boils down to two simple things:

1. Americans (middle class and lower for the most part) are blaming Biden (and Harris) for the current state of the economy and they made their feelings known last night
2. Race and misogyny is still a huge problem in America.
Failure on the Dems to not explain it...

Sadly it is going away.

twitter is worse than I have ever seen it. I do not see one positive spin on this outside the insane right.

I think the one that really triggered me the most was when someone replied to Kamala to KNEEL

man I feel so bad about this.

Gas prices jumped 40 cents around here the day before the election. Nothing new, that happens on occasion, and then it takes weeks for the prices to trickle back down to where they were.

Not this time. 2 days later, the day after Trump wins, the price dropped 60 cents. at least at the one station near my house.
