    That’s projection on your part.

    Others aren’t as terrible as you are and that’s something you people need to learn.

    Oh there may be a few that are not in it for power, but I am not convinced that is the majority.

    I get being frustrated at them, but... remember, they have a super repetitive task that there’s a good chance they’re volunteering to do on an enormous backlog that decides the fate of the United States and in many ways, the world, all while being hounded by the media and not-so-subtly harangued by the trumpkins.

    Because you just said you have a desire to make your self happy... that’s putting on a show for others, instead of seeking your individual desires.

    I'm going to disagree, at least initially.

    I don't think people get into politics out of a desire for power or wealth (with some exceptions obviously), but I'll concede that a great many can be corrupted over time as they seek to maintain the power they never sought, but now have.

    Why is that?
    Because I see polls as things that do more harm than good.

    The Pitt hold is a legal thing, there is only a specific type of ballot left there to count and I don't remember what it was called. I think the rest of PA should still be going.

    Still on my map data kick.

    Amusing, that support for the ‘Working Families Party’ is basically a gentrification heatmap of the boroughs.

    Trump and his family are going to directly incite some crazed MAGA fanatic before this is over.

    I will be not even remotely surprised if there's some kind of shooting attack to stop 'the evil liberals stealing the election'. In fact, I almost would say I expect it to happen. Trump continues to demonstrate why he is a danger to the rule of law and human decency.
