Was confused what you were referencing. Was wondering if that was some other holiday or something.

Good point. More than half of voters would have been accurate.

Only barely though. Its like 50.2%. But like another 48% voted for Kamala, so like that's 98% of voters....

Just teasing us without sharing your arguments to be reused by others.

I'm a bit scared of needles (never could look while doing vaccines). Was fortunately that my brother started getting injections using an autoinjector and he was too afraid to do it himself, so I gave him his shots, which acted as decent training wheels for me to get more comfortable with the needles (even if in this case, I can't even see the needle). Still, when I first started, I started getting more anxiety about it (like the 2nd-4th times, I just sat there trying to do it for like 10 minutes unable to get myself to do it because needle anxiety). I eventually realized I'm pretty okay with just slowly pushing it in rather than quickly stabbing it in.

Hopefully if gel isn't an option for you, that you find a method that works for you.

I just stop getting hungry usually with enough intermittent fasting. Ime, eating early is what starts my appetite, so I often just don't eat until night.

They already had 9 more seats than dems and net flipped is 4 towards Republicans, think its pretty safe to guess which party will have a majority. Just a matter of how much.

If anything the people making fun of third party votes were probably far more successful at suppressing voter turnout.

Stop giving bombs for genocide and stop telling people that the economy is already great so they should not ask for more and instead give popular policy positions that help people more than a week before the election/after early voting.

By running a non-white non-man candidate. Obviously white men are supposed to be in power and anything else is demonizing them. /s

My moms' voted for Trump I suspect and they're avoided voting for Republicans for a long time because of homophobia. One of them would ask things like "do you think a woman can be president" and would talk about how great she thought the stock market would do under trump. They just retired, so their well-being is now a lot more dependent on the value of their 401k than before though, so it might just be that rather than broader trends. Otoh, I've also seen her listening to like 30+ minute snakes salesman things on Facebook and be seriously believing of the obvious scam.

If we have a massive recession, interest rates, inflation and housing prices might plummet!

Businesses could decide this... But not out of optics, but to maximize profits. I know one theory is corporations go between periods of inflating prices and periods of mergers & acquisitions as the two modes primary means of capital growth. If that's true and businesses perceive the Trump admin as being more favorable towards monopolies, then they may focus on doing M&A over the next 4 years. After which, the increase monopolization will inevitably lead to inflation in the period following.
