    Default US election thread?

    So, I know that they have already shut down the original “Donald Trump and Election” thread due to, all sorts of garbage? Any chance we can start another thread specifically about the election as we approach Election Day? No doubt, this thread will eventually be shut down, but it might be insightful and entertaining until that happens.

    Agreed. This election is one of the biggest events in our lifetime. It would be strange if we could not chat about it on our favourite hockey forum.

    Yes, sometimes things may get heated, but big whoop.

    After seeing the Texas truck convoy insanity yesterday, I am really nervous as to what is going to happen. No matter the outcome. The best outcome is an absolute steamroll by Biden to kneecap any legal battles, or sadly, a Trump steamroll for the same reason.

    The worst outcome is probably a really close election which could get violent from both sides.

    A big red wave is coming like we've never seen before. The fake news media likes to tell us this election is close but in reality the American people want Trump to win. I bet Trump gets close or even eclipses 400 electoral votes. Trump's rallies have so much energy an entusiasm. Biden's rallies feel more like a funeral. I think more people would come out and publicly show their support in Trump but look at all the negative attention Orr has been getting. Such a shame people's character are being judged in such a way over political views. I support Trump. That is my take from this.

    380 is my prediction.

    Very condescending comment but you're showing your true colours. Have a great day.

    I agree with doulos. With very small children I am more than a bit nervous, and hoping for a steamroll either way myself.

    I would like to add, that it is difficult to discuss such a topic for a number of people. Naturally, passion for the platform topics of either side makes this understandable. But still, I find pride in not adhering to the tenets of one side or the other, and feel it is far more important to discuss these topics in a purely objective, unbiased way. It is important to refute others you may disagree with and curb emotions at the same time. It is imperative to work together and unite with your neighbor and common man (or woman, in case some don't realize the meaning, I feel like I should watch Monty Python's Life of Brian now), and I feel like the majority of people know and comprehend this - yet still lock themselves into extreme partisanship.

    Not looking forward to the next few days, whatever the outcome.

    lol. Oh no, I 100 percent think we will. I am just hoping we can get some constructive use out of the thread before that happens.
