Was thinking, the day before the election, about doing this. There's nothing to be gained on this site anymore. Maybe there never was. Only things to be lost, as we just witnessed. Was funny, at times, at least, and an information portal. Now embittered, divisive, childish,

2) An overview of Buckley‘s later conversion to an anti-racist, anti-demagogue - read anti-Trump - conservative. https://t.co/Mo7QRe4TFO

In my piece @TheAtlantic, I argue something few are willing to admit: the Electoral College was designed to privilege white voters, and it continues to do so today. (1/5) https://t.co/Z6JmbbGQuG

Women will vote Harris for the right to control their own bodies and futures. Men will vote Trump for the right to be assholes. Who'll show up stronger? My money's on the women.

"The number of female voters has exceeded the number of male voters in every presidential election since 1964." This will make the difference today. Historic day coming. https://t.co/ZwOxaXPB5S

Lemme ask again. What does does campaign finance law say about making in-kind donations to the opposing candidate?
Trump says an economic depression would be “very good” for him because he‘s running for office

October Surprise. 👀 No let up. Utterly obliterate this ‘man’ at the polls.
The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows Kamala Harris picking up support from women to surpass Donald Trump in Iowa, a ruby-red state he has won twice. Details: https://t.co/oRehtChREe
