> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > I respectfully decline your proposal. I’ll gladly share a beverage of choice with any Doper close enough to celebrate that the blasted thing is over though. I’m in mid-Oregon (between Eugene and Portland). Do you mean mid-Oregon, like Burns? Or mid-Oregon I-5 corridor, like Albany or Salem? If it’s the latter, I’ll take you up on your offer. ---

I thought Trump told his people that Election Day was on Nov 28th. Confusing. I suggest the OP simply avoid the Elections forum for as long as he needs to regain his equilibrium. (Which may be until the next Presidential election.) ---

Trump is not known for being accurate on a number of things, but there’s no doubt the election is next Tuesday, Nov. 8. I knew it was next week, but I thought next Tuesday was the 9th. I was just off by a day. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > Why stop talking politics three days after the election? Because I figured that was a polite interval to allow bitching/celebrating before we just took a break. Some people got it. Others… did not. ---
