Election Night For Thee But Not For Me

How bad and real is 2016 PTSD?

There is not a snowball chance in hell that I would ever go to an Election Watch party.

I’ll be lining up the joints in my own room, by myself.

And I’m totally ok with that.

Never going thru that shit again with other people.

I’m going to spend my night far from the networks, and my phone. 

Otherwise, I’d have to tell my daughter to come get the liquor out of the house.

I hate Election Night. Whatever happens to the POTUS, I still live in Texas. I don’t like being reminded what assholes the good people here are when it comes to politics.

Especially since:

I think the evidence suggests now that this will be a higher turnout election than 2020. Pollsters have mostly been modeling *less* turnout than 2020. I have no idea which way that cuts or if it will have an effect at all on a potential polling error. https://t.co/P80iscfkCY

Signs point to this taking awhile. And my PTSD goes back to 2000. I just want official results now, not fuckin’ network projections.

I've had a superstition that me expressing optimism over an election would lead to disaster ever since I can remember. That's gotten worse over the years. If someone told me to break a leg I'd think it was unlucky. I figure it's part of being a democrat as well as a Democrat.
