I found a great way to stop thinking of the election/s. I had my fourth round interview with a company over a week ago and am on edge waiting to hear back. I woke at 3am this morning and realized I had misinterpreted a question and gave a bad answer. I couldn’t get back to sleep until I sent an email discussing what I think they wanted to hear (without mentioning the specific question). Between lack of sleep and panic, the election has dropped to background noise.
“I’m still thinking about the election” — so note with as much equanimity as you can muster (i.e. try not to cling to them or push them away, just observe them) what are the verbal thoughts, visual images, and bodily sensations that arise when you think about the election? Do they have a location? A shape? On a moment-by-moment basis are they static or changing? Still or moving? Getting stronger, weaker, or neither? Any areas of localized change within the bigger sensation? Are they pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral? By a lot or a little? Become fascinated by your sensory experience! This way lies freedom! :-D
Chris Wallace tried but did not have the weight to slow or stop Buttercup from encroaching on Joe’s time. And Joe should not have tried answering BC’s personal attacks.
Joe, just go quiet and wait until the moderator corrals the bull thrower, then ask that your missed time be added back to you. Discuss your plans and policies and your aims to reunite the fracture United States. When BC rants, just smile and look as if you are hearing the whining from a small child who wants his way.
Just let the moderator do the job he/she is supposed to do.
One comment by Buttercup that should worry most of us: PROUD BOYS – STAND BACK AND STAND BY. He was actually passing orders to a belligerent segment of his following during the debate. How scary is that!!!

If on election night you have the energy to celebrate, you didn’t work hard enough to get those traitorous cretins out of office.

The loser in that debate was Chris Wallace. If that’s the best he can do to manage a debate, he should stick to being a talking head.

I always have a great sense of relief after mailing in my ballot early. From that point, I can treat political advertising as “entertainment” or not.
