Now that's a prayer this agnostic of partial faith can get behind! Well done! 🤣🤣🤣

Amen to all that from the UK, I’ve never felt so anxious about the election of a leader outside my own country, and struggle to understand how ANYONE could even consider voting petulant toddler.

Kamala is not boring! Please don’t equate the fact that she doesn’t try to hack the higher brain functions of the electorate with appeals to fear & other emotions with being boring! Donald IS boring - self-obsessed, self-aggrandizing, whiny, pompous, repetitive…

Other than that, loved this piece and I pray that your prayer is heard and granted. Not that I pray lol.

I'd direct that prayer to (or, more properly, via) St Jude*. A decent God would spare us from Trump, but I don't think there's much hope for any of the others.

* Glad I checked. I thought it was St Anthony but he apparently handles lost *things*.

Virtually hugs Dan Drezner and fervently hopes that when 2028 comes around he will not be arrested or worse. (This was a specific thing I was scared of for weeks) May now make effort for some months to avoid news.

I'm in the same Church/Synagogue/Mosque as you, DD, murmuring the same prayer.

I believe she will win it, and do so early. He will claim victory before 9:00 pm and demand that all counting stop if he is leading in the battleground states. Ignore the noise and watch the trends.

I feel sorry for my poor Dem friends. They are in agony. You almost want a Harris victory just out of pity. My GOP friends are not nearly so emotional. You can actually talk about a Harris victory. For the poor Dem voter, a loss means end times.

This is quality concern trolling.

Just my personal observation, told honestly. I am always interested in other personal observations, told honestly.

A solid prayer, and MAGA-dittos to that.

I'm a Harris voter (EARLY voter! Start The Steal!) but I was intrigued by the link attached to "Harris ran an excellent campaign" because I disagree - My position is "Vote For The Empty Suit - It's Important" because I don't think she established a strong identity beyond her Day One intro as Pro-Choice, Not Joe Biden, and TOTALLY OMG NO not Donald Trump.

Well. The supporting 'excellent campaign' link leads to someone's email address. My guess is a more compelling link was intended. Thanks.

And best of luck to all tonight. Inspired by Mencken, I'll add that I hope/ fear we get what we deserve.

From your mouth to God's ears, Dan!
