My dad sent me, my brother, my sister, and my step brothers and sister's this text message tonight; this is a Man I once viewed as smart.

"I want to share my thoughts with each of you on the eve of the national election, which I truly believe will decide the fate of our nation. I realize that's a bit dramatic but it's what I believe. I am not telling you any of you how you should vote, particularly if you have a strong conviction one way or the other. I will be voting for Donald Drumpf because I believe your future and that of your children are at stake. To be clear, I believe Clinton would assure the destruction of the country and it's principles as we know it, namely our constitutional freedoms. Obama has done great harm to our country, and I believe she would continue on this path. I realize you may not agree, but she has proven to be untrue about things that really matter. While I would be happy to discuss my belief's with you, I'm not trying to be clever to sway you from your vote to the person I am voting for. I don't wish to argue politic's with anyone either; I just want you to know in my heart that I believe your future and the future of our country is on the line. If you do choose to vote for him, have the courage to share your views with others without jeopardizing your friendships. If you vote differently maybe you'll be proven right, but I believe otherwise. I felt I would be remiss if i didn't share my thoughts with you regarding what I believe is one of our last opportunities to correct the course of our nation. I love all of you and I believe your future is on the ballot. God Bless you all and God Bless the United States of America.



What in the actual fuck do I say to that,

Can you ask him what the "great harm" is that Obama did?

I feel for you, your dads letter reminds me of my own dads writing style, he's obviously an intelligent guy but then.... Trump. What's with that?

Which in the group message was followed by other people Saying

"Trump All the way"

"Trump it up"

"Trump 2016"



What in the actual fuck do I say to that, A man I once thought of as smart, and educated sent that to me, like what is the fucking point in sending me that, to prove to me that you are so far fucking gone that I will never talk to you again ? We have already had a tepid relationship in the past, and I just have nothing to say to this. There's so many things I wanted to say, just respond with answers like "Like what things has obama done that has destroyed the country ? What Horrible things has Clinton done ? What do you honestly think she will do? What in the world is wrong with you, have you listened to Donald Trump speak and honestly think of him as an intelligent man worthy of the spot of PRESIDENT of the united states ?

I called my mom and she told me to just let it go, and normally i don't care about politics (they are separated). Not to mention the fact that my sister is Also voting Trump, and my brother is voting Gary Johnson, because he doesn't like either of the candidates. I don't know what's going on, it's like I feel my family is just on a completely different level than I am, and not in the good way. I even live in upstate New York, and and completely surrounded by Trump supporters that all feel like he's going to take their guns away.

I am just so frustrated right now, and I NEVER get upset about politic's, this is the first time in my life I've honestly even taken more than a glance at it in these very forums. I'm just so ...... disappointed in the people around me.

Is he a gun nut or something? Just what is it that makes some people so obsessed with these 'constitutional freedoms', and does it really have more substance than 'give us our guns'?

Literally the only thing I can think of is that he's in the 250k + a year income bracket, and is Ex navy, He used to hunt a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure he hasn't in over 10 or 15 years

I like the artistic lighting at the Trump rally in Michigan. He walked away from the podium to walk in a circle and wave to some people. When he came back he was lit in bright red light. Move over Mario Bava.

Kinda crazy that rally is going down just a few miles away and at my alma mater. Wish I was there, but I'm an old man. =/ My daughter is a student there now, though. Going to go pick her up first in the morning and vote with her and my wife. I love election day!

As a canadian watching this from the outside, I'm glad this whole thing is gonna be over soon.

It's one thing for the elections to be on the news 24/7. Another thing when it's something you can't even contribute to and still hearing it 24/7.

I think the media is going to play it safe and wait until at least 11 eastern when the polls close on the west coast before calling anything.

Yup. This won't get called before polls close in the West. There's an unwritten rule that the media won't report returns if it'll affect ongoing voting. So the race won't get called until California closes.

My father is practically begging me to vote Stein if only for the 5% for next time.

Sorry pops, I may have been just a wee lad in 2000, but I remember the Nader debacle well enough.

why would he want you to vote stein if he just wants one of the other parties to hit 5%

the only party with a chance to do that this election is the libertarians

also stein is an awful piece of shit so why would you even want them to have a platform

Trump just had a last minute policy update at his rally: build safe havens in Syria and get the gulf states to pay for it.

Why isn't education on equal footing as foreign policy, health care and the economy in terms of the agenda during these elections? Everyone has experience with the education system in the US, and most likely everyone has a strong opinion on how it can improve.

No I definitely agree, I'm just wondering why he would choose Stein over Johnson to rally behind for the 5% when she has no chance at this point. If he's looking to boost up the chances of a third party candidate, might as well back the horse closest to goal.

If nothing else, Trump getting as far as he has should be PLENTY evidence of the "holes" in the American education system.

Fix them holes Murica!

Also, can't wait for this to be over tomorrow, gon' be eating popcorn ALL DAMN DAY.
