    If only I lived in a swing state. Then my vote could have meaning and I could get paid for it.

    Must be great to live in one of the seven states that’s allowed to decide our election thanks to the electoral college.

      Yeah, swing states are where it’s at. From Nate Silver’s forecast, the states most likely to tip the election (as of today, Oct 9).

        I live in the Philly suburbs and it’s disturbing how many Trump signs I see in my area. I really really fucking hope he doesn’t win this state.

          it’s up to you guys stop stop your neighbors from voting (as well as cast your own ballots). i would use any tool in the bag. this could be the end of the world if he wins. i don’t feel like that’s an exaggeration.

            I’ve already mailed in my ballot. Not sure what you’re suggesting in terms of stopping my neighbors from voting but that sounds highly illegal.

              Show me one law that explicitly states it’s illegal to build a 10ft wide moat around my neighbor’s house

                Presumably that qualifies as vandalism unless you own 10 feet of property in a ring around his house, which is an uncommon situation. Depending on the wording it might also qualify as attempted kidnapping or unlawful imprisonment or something along those lines.

                  I just looked up the vandalism laws in my state and I didn’t see the sentence “building a most around your neighbor’s house is illegal” anywhere, so I think I’m in the clear

                    I mean, if you owned that 10’ ring of property, sure. Presumably digging out 10’ of public Street or 10’ of his yard against his will would fall under vandalism though.
