It's The Final Countdown...

We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To Earth who can tell?

--"The Final Countdown," Europe, 1986.

Hello, everyone. We less than 24 hours away from the very first polls closing for Election Day 2024. Hopefully, most of you have took advantage of early voting where you are. I did a couple of weeks ago, and from the looks of things where I went to vote, many others did too, which is a good thing. If you're able to do so, please vote tomorrow. 

If you follow my twitter page, you likely know how I voted in this election, but for the record, I did something I hadn't done before, I voted Democrat up and down the ballot. I'm sure that my stepmom and father are probably turning in their graves, since they were Republicans for as long as I've known them, but they don't know how extreme right-wing that party has become, and I have a theory as to why that is, and it goes back several decades. I won't get into it on this post, although I may have alluded to it in prior posts. Not only that, if I knew nothing about politics (and I still know very little), knew English, and didn't know squat about either of the candidates, I'd likely pick Harris anyway. I mean Trump has no plan (to speak of, WE WANT DETAILS!) except deport immigrants and propose tariffs on everyone, which actually does us more harm than good. And the stunt he pulled the other day? Disgusting. We've already had four years of this shitshow, we don't need another four. 

Two other big ballot initiatives here in Florida are Amendments 3 and 4, which legalizes recreational marijuana and legalizes safe abortions here in Florida. I won't get into the details of each amendment, because there have been various debates and commercials (which thank God are ending tomorrow) about both of them, but I voted "Yes" on both. Why? Well since DeSantis is our governor, I'll let Dave Chappelle to explain:

Yeah, I don't like DeSantis, and I never have liked him. Unfortunately, I've lost a few friends over my political choices the last few years. For the better? Can't tell. Now do I think that the left is a bunch of communists who want us to conform to a certain way of life. No. Do I think the right has become a bunch of populist fascists? Not necessarily, but do most of them seem to blindly follow an individual with a cult of personality? Absolutely. Will said individual claim if he loses it will because the system is "rigged?" Probably, even though this isn't NASCAR, where apparently you can alter the results so that a certain driver advances in their "Playoffs."

So, grab a bag of popcorn, some Xanax, and your bottle of liquor and enjoy (at least try to) the events of the next 24 hours...or more. Probably more.
