I yearn for a lot of things from the 60s.  Gas prices,  food prices,  price of building materials,  good job opportunities,  you knew your neighbors and family.  Some good times right there  Wink

If the polls are showing Trump behind,  then I like his chances.  I don't like the polls nor do I trust them.  To me the polls,  surveys,  are a waste of time. Especially when it comes to politics. 

I'm going to touch on something Maga Nuts,  said earlier,  I agree with.  If most of the country's population voted,  Republicans may never win again.  That's going by the popular vote.  Like it or hate it,  the electoral college, is the only thing that gives us a shot.  Way more people are registered democrats.  I honestly believe,  if we ever do away with the electoral college,  us Republicans are screwed!

Democrats also register dead people to vote!  Along with alien's from other planets,  big foots,  birds,  deer, turkey,  squirrel,  grasshoppers,  probably why some of us had a yellow jacket apocalypse this year! Dems felt like they needed the extra votes!

I was just goofing off on that last paragraph  Smile Tongue

I hope so. Smile    I also hope you are against any party's attempt to suppress the vote of any eligible voting demographic.  Every person ellgible to vote should be able to do so without any hindrance from any group or party. Republicans want a low turnout among non-MAGAs. Dems want a high turnout. It's all about turn out, at this point. If enough non-MAGAs turn out, Harris will win. If they stay home, she loses.
Agreed, that every eligible citizen has a right to vote,  and they should. 

Here's a piece of advice I received at a young age about voting. 
Let's go back a ways in time.  Imagine a young Kong sitting at the breakfast table.  Getting ready to vote in my first election.  I was 18 years old,  filled with anticipation. 

I was sipping on my oj.  Mother Kong was fixing bacon and eggs.  Father Kong sitting in his spot at the table,  sipping on coffee.  

Father Kong took a slurp of coffee.  He then turns and looks at me.  He says,  "Boy,  you're voting in your first election today.  I'm going to tell you something.  It's your right to vote however you see fit.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  Doesn't matter if you vote the same as me, it's your choice and your right.  It's best to keep your choices to yourself."

My parents are in their 80s now.  That last line that dad said there,  about keeping to yourself about who your voting for.  He was spot on about that! He was spot on about the whole thing. 

Everyone that's eligible to vote,  it's there right.  Vote however you see fit.  Doesn't matter to me if we vote the same or not.  If I see ya broken down with a flat tire,  I'll stop and offer help.  Even if we vote different,  I'll still stop.  I won't be like,  well you voted for this candidate,  I'm outta here,  Good luck fixing this on your own!  Big Grin I wouldn't do anyone like that,  most people wouldn't. 

I understand the polls importance.  I just don't pay any attention to them.  For one,  I don't understand how they can survey a group of people.  Then use that to predict how millions will vote.  Which I barely passed math in both highschool and college.  Believe both places passed me,  just to finally be rid of me  Smile

Guy's I'm not a very serious person.  Many of my posts are for the purpose of laughter  Wink
