This started off in a सवाल format but turned into a rant. I'd still like to be illuminated as to what exactly people are referring to when they talk about "elites", though.

It seems that I were a businessman, born into privilege, making billions off the backs of the working class, stiffing contractors, avoiding tax, entrenching inequality - yet espousing bigoted देखा गया - I'm somehow a "champion" of the ordinary person and "in touch" with the populace.

However if I happen to have a law degree and hold socially progressive देखा गया - wanting healthcare even for the least fortunate, a competent...

I want to frame a letter I wrote to my Trump supporting प्रशंसकों on Facebook. I know them personally, and I know many फैन्पॉप Trump supporters well enough to realize that they are rational, empathetic individuals. People who are not racist, xenophobic, या misogynistic.

They clearly did NOT vote for Trump for these reasons. No, not at all. They voted for Trump because of ideology (he's conservative), concerns over the Supreme Court (Hillary will just pick a liberal, and that lasts longer than a presidency), worries over policy (coal miners shouldn't have to worry about job security), या simply because...

Assuming that आप are registered to vote, will vote, and will be a nervous wreck about it, there is now a सूची to help आप with that. Well, I'm sure there are thousands of lists for that, probably better ones, but now there's one here, in this lovely spot that will soon be abandoned.

These are just a few tips based on my पूर्व voting experiences and how I've learned to deal with election day. And also I'm so nervous I can't sleep, so what else am I gonna do?

BEFORE आप VOTE:
1. Breathe, dammit. It's okay to be nervous. Just breathe.

2. गूगल "where is my polling place?" for the 50th time, just...

Let the record दिखाना that these are based on my opinions of both the candidates and Game of Thrones characters. I am fully aware of how biased this लेख is, and आप should be too. This was just for fun, and is meant to be taken lightly. K, I think that should about cover it. =P

I considered making a pick the other दिन asking users how/what this election made them feel.

The first options on the list: anger, rage, fear, dread.

I scrapped the plans for that pick because, well, I'm feeling all that, and none of it's good. Does anyone actually feel good about the way this election is going?

So yes, I am angry and I am pissed and I am hostile when it comes to this election. And I know I haven't been very good at hiding it. This is clearly a sharp contrast to my usual sunny disposition. ;)

It's not uncommon. We're all tense right now. And we all have legitimate reasons to feel...

Basically this is gonna be a compilation of some of my टिप्पणियाँ on this spot mixed with new opinions. That said--though I am speaking generally--if anyone is uncomfortable with me using our debates in this लेख do let me know. I decided to type this one up because I feel like this has become a pretty big and passionate topic for me and I think there should be recognition for the underdogs.

First and foremost, my values seem to align the most with Jill's. Her platform quite impresses me if she can deliver; "revive the economy and make wars for oil obsolete. Initiate a WWII-scale national mobilization...
