Are we all excited for the impending GE campaign?

[HagridOfTheDeep]

I am beyond excited for Hillary's inauguration and presidency, but I am absolutely not excited for the election.

Basically, we have one of the most qualified candidates ever running for president. Someone with real political skills and policy chops. And instead, the next six months will be spent enduring an onslaught of misogynistic attacks that, like it or not, will bring out the worst in a lot of otherwise good people. It's already started to happen, and I'm angry and disappointed. I don't know how I'll make it to November, and I'm sure there will be a fair number of scares along the way where it will actually look like Trump could win.

Hopefully I'm wrong and she pulls aways from Trump easily in the polls, but... colour me skeptical.

I thought all the Hillbots would be ecstatic!

This is a good way of putting it.

Yeah! Especially if it's Trump vs. Hillary. I had written this election off over the holidays assuming I'd not have to think about it very hard, would tune it out over the summer in favor of baseball, and would just vote Hillary against whatever W. or Romney look-alike they in the GOP put up, but wow. I could support a right wing populist party, and Trump has stopped me in my tracks. Maybe he's the prototype. It's worth finding out. How ironic that would be.

Watching casual sexism championed as a political strategy and seeing women demonized for "playing the woman card" when they simply stand up to have their voices heard in a system that rarely listens does not make me ecstatic.

[Baki]

Yes. Very excited and interested.

As a matter of fact , I'm considering coming to the US from Europe a few days before election day.
I wanna witness the euphoria/chaos.

[Coolface Sock #42069]

Hell no.

[TomC]

Yes, I love the drama. I think the election will be one for the books. The four years after, on the other hand...

Well, half of you Republicans seem more than content with it, which is why I have a lot of trouble understanding why a respectable person would want to identify with the party. I'm glad you're not one of the ones trying to deny the sexist overtones though, and I appreciate your Independent avatar.
