Before anyone get's all jumpy about how there's already a thread about Trump, this is discussing all US elections, including but not limited to: US General Presidential Election, all 34 Senate Seats up for grabs (21 Republicans running for reelection, 7 democrats, and 6 with neither), 435 House Seats, and 14 state governor/territorial elections.
If you want to bash on Trump only, go to this thread.
If you want to bash on how shitty we all have it this election cycle, this is the place to do it.
Mainly, this is to keep Hillary Talk™ from occurring....
P&R rules still apply though. Don't try to lock this thread until after November 8th, please....

Wait, there are other races outside the Presidential race? What side am I on? Who are these people? Who is my governor? Who is MY ELECTED OFFICIAL???
I'll have to ponder this over the red, white and blue themed barbecue this weekend.

If you ponder who your Congressmen are, you are more than likely going to drink yourself stupid.
Just to get to their terms.

Welp, my mayor (Bill DeBlasio) is currently tied up in a corruption scandal and already has been trending towards the recycle bin. I wouldn't be surprised if he got primaried come reelection.
God, New York politicians can't help but end up in scandals. We just sent Dean Skelos away for 5 years and Sheldon Silver got 12 years all for taking bribes.
WE NEED A BLOWTORCH IN THIS STATE. HELP.

How long do I have to wait until I just link all of the election based Last Week Tonight videos, which encompass my entire knowledge base of the election processes we have?

Or 500 FFXIAH Gems*, whichever comes first.
Rooks, I want a cut from the profits!

I'm in WA's 4th congressional district. Its so heavily republican the dems often don't even field a candidate.

I thought they are as rare as Republicans in CA.

There are a decent amount of Republicans in the Sacramento area if I recall correctly. Northern CA is like an entirely differently world compared to Southern.

I occasionally road trip with my camera to try and capture a photo of a Republican in CA. I've got an album full of pictures of this thing, but still no Republicans.

Well, West Texas, East Texas, North Texas, and Best™ Texas are all different.

What if Big Foot is actually out of focus in real life and it isn't just the camera ! We got an unfocused monster on the loose !

Hillary would you like some truth ?

You do realize there is a heavy Red presence in that state, right?
Then again that's speaking in binary instead of the actual spectrum, but I guess binary is all that really counts, eh?

I'm scared to think that the person that brewed my coffee might be a liberal. I'll have to take a shower after I drink it !

Then again that's speaking in binary instead of the actual spectrum, but I guess binary is all that really counts, eh? Although there may be multiple political parties in the US, only 2 have any real power at all.
So, yes, when speaking about politics in the US, it is proper to speak in binary. Even I would have expected you to understand that.

I thought they are as rare as Republicans in CA. East of the cascades and the pacific coast are pretty heavily republican. The puget sound counties are fairly heavily democratic and their population exceeds the rest of the stare's.

This Memorial Day weekend it is important for each of us to take a moment, pause and remember that one time Hillary Clinton landed a plane in Bosnia under sniper fire.
