24 hours until the voting begins. 24 hours of anxiety riddled time that although things are looking good for a Biden victory the trump dishonesty is still prevalent. Yet deep down in my soul or gut or whatever you want to call it I feel good about what is happening for tomorrow. That trump thinks that he is doing great is just another sign that he isn't. His tell if you will is that he says what is generally the opposite of the truth. Fancy way of saying he is a liar! But let him do the easy thinking that he is about to win while we do the hard work of defeating him.
Today will be a flurry of activity by both political campaigns and the tell in that is where are they campaigning. The trumps are trying to hold onto the states they barely won in the upper mid west while the Biden campaign is going places that were lost in 2016. This speaks volumes about what each campaign knows is coming. The trumps need to salvage what they can to have a longshot at staying in power while the Biden campaign is trying to bring about a blue wave election. Now the 2 campaigns are not the know all of everything but it is revealing the lean each is taking on the last day of campaigning, less election day itself.
So my jitters about an upset is just me remembering the not comparable 2016 outcome. Not comparable because then we were too cocky about winning and then lost. This time we are if anything overly cautious about winning while still working to win. Big difference, yet the anxiety is still there which is why I got up at 3:30 in the morning today. I will catch a nap later. It isn't just anxiety I feel either, it is a anticipation like a christmas morning as a child, a sense of accomplishment about to be had. Not arrogance or expectation but a hope that has some real meat, blood and bones to it. I will enjoy this last full day of campaigning by our Biden candidate and in that I hope you will join me.
This blog will be an advocate for compassion, curiosity and human survival. When these elements of human nature are being denied, wholly, severally or individually, less than positive human traits are the outcome. It is my wish and hope that my reasonings on a variety of subjects will provide the readers of this blog with personal and public insights. My only motive is to provide a forum for advancing enlightenment. Carl Clark.
