Before covid I never used to question these election things, but a 60/40 split is a country divided. To exclude the opinions of 40% of any group is not really democracy but a tyranny of the majority.
All democracies ultimately become the tyranny of the majority.
That’s why the U.S. was established as a constitutional republic, NOT a democracy.
There are constitutions, and then there are constitutions with guns! Wouldn’t that be a great line in a Sergio Leone western? A constitution without guns is just an old piece of paper, like in Canada with Trudeau. It was the guns that kicked the truckers out of Ottawa, not the constitution. Does everyone get cynical as they get older?
“Does everyone get cynical as they get older?”
No, the others get drunk.

In fact, pouring myself a nice cabernet right now.
Then onto heavy-duty mudslides post din-din.
Hoping I can keep from overdoing the shish kebabs as I keep thinking of all of my losses on Thursday and Friday. Was absolutely convinced we go UP from here.
NOT!!!
