mrbiggsly Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Make election day a national holiday. I'm sure the presidents won't mind if you take away their day. Be like Australia; throw a huge party on election day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be like Australia; throw a huge party on election day Take away Columbus Day because nobody should care about that guy. Just make sure the day remains on a Tuesday. Otherwise, you'll end up with all sorts of long weekend shenanigans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 I finally voted. Straight Democratic Party ticket. Pennsylvania didn't have any measures or propositions this year (they rarely do), though there was a "question" about Philadelphia asking if we wanted them to borrow $181,000,000 towards streets and schools, the trains and the metro, etc. I said absolutely yes, though I think they're just gauging peoples' reaction to the idea. Felt good. Time to get shitfaced. A shot every time a close election goes our way, a shot every time a close election or one we should have won we lose. Proud of all of those who voted or are voting. Appreciate this community, thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberals may claim to hate it, but they'll still eat that sweet sweet Chic-Fil-A My restaurant will give away free large fries sprinkled with 9mm bullets if you can prove you voted.

It's technically nonpartisan but we all know who the vast majority of people being induced to vote by that promotion are. In California they have prop 6, which is repeal the gas tax. Yesterday gas stations in San Diego were giving away a $50 gas card if you pledged to vote yes (to repeal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not surprise me. What I am talking about is quid pro quo, in this case offering to buy somebody's vote, is illegal. I could be arrested and prosecuted if I offered to buy a person lunch if they vote for Beto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, just one more reason I voted against Prop 6, we would have not seen lower gas prices, and I'm seeing actual work being done on roads that had been neglected for years.

Yep, when I saw them trimming the bushes in the median of the freeway several months ago I thought “This must be our gas tax money being put to action” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionFranco Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Not just that, I've seen roads repaired that had needed them for several years, finishing a project that appeared to have stalled, etc. I have a car that used more gas than my old one, and although it hurts, I'm not going to complain, because I see things finally getting done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
