Is the interview being held at midnight? Why y'all sounding so scary?

He should call himself an UBER to and from the interview. Problem Solved.

Bruh you have no idea what may unfold. What if hes in the uber and protests pop off and now hes gridlocked in the city with stormtroopers moving in.... I'm good on the chance of being in the wrong place wrong time. That whole day would classify as wrong time at a minimum for me.

If Biden won 60% of the votes that would still be a disgusting amount of support for Trump. Dude is a straight up trash person. The fact that 45%+ support him is embarrassing. It would be like handing 100 people a bowl of candy and 45 of them picked Almond Joy

I do not support trump...i do support almond joy.

Seems like Trump will win Florida again

I was at CVS on the edge of Asian District (the Asian part of OKC). I saw a lot of people over by the brother in Arms tattoo where Military Ave intersects and leads into Memorial Park and the Brother in Arms Statue (quick 3 paragraph on this part of town and the particular street and statue and its significance

Spoiler

eal estate developer Israel M. Putnam didn’t plan for it to happen but the neighborhoods and parks he created in the early 1900s evolved into a compelling symmetry over 100 years later. Putnam was attracted to this area of the city during the construction of the streetcar line that ran along today’s Classen Blvd. around 1903. About one mile north of here he created Putnam Heights and built Putnam Park (now Memorial Park) next to it. South of that he built Military Park Addition, which got its name from the Oklahoma State Military Institute, a boys’ military school, at NW 36 and McKinley. This large neighborhood stretched all the way to Western Ave. and included a street that Putnam named Military Ave. which ran from Putnam Park to NW 23. After just two years the military school closed in 1905 but its namesake neighborhood and street live on.

When the city renamed Putnam Park to Memorial Park to honor war veterans in 1928, people found it fitting that Military Ave. led to Memorial Park. About the same time, the land for this park was donated to the city and park officials followed tradition by assigning the name of the adjacent street to the park, thus this park became Military Park. This park served the surrounding neighborhoods for many decades, never more so than after the arrival of the Vietnamese community following the Vietnam War in the 1970s. The park became an important place for the community as they worked hard to make a new life in a new land and many residents still refer to the area around Military Park as “the Vietnamese heart.”

As the neighborhood prospered and became known as the Asian District, Military Park was transformed into a memorial plaza to honor Vietnam War veterans from America and South Vietnam. The Vietnamese American Community of Oklahoma City raised funds to provide a statue called “Brothers in Arms” that depicts American and Vietnamese soldiers standing in solidarity. Today, over 100 years after I. M. Putnam developed this area Military Avenue appropriately connects the Vietnam War memorial in Military Park with Memorial Park.

so I was thinking what is it Lunar New Year, no, must be some holiday I am not privy to and I see Asians pulling up families deep and rushing to get over there like it's something important and then I;m thinking, well they don't do Halloween, but they're in America so their kids would want to so maybe they're donig a candy giveaway or safe trick or treat gathering. Get close enough to hear them over their speakers and you see CHina, Vietnam, etc flags and few big *** Trump flags. Freaking trolls, being racist over there trying to hack/commander their cause, then I see more and realize, hell nah these ****** are legit having a Trump rally, speaking over the microphone in not English.

TLDR: Asians in Asian district rock with Trump, heavy! IDGI

[heelsandeers]

it seems that a lot of battleground states will boil down to whether the electorate views the economy or the pandemic as the more pressing issue

I have read repeatedly (and experienced first hand last week) that in Florida, where pandemic denialism is a cultural and political feature, that the economy is the primary issue, so I expect it to swing to Trump

in the Midwest, especially Michigan, Wisconsin, and MN, the pandemic is a more pressing issue to more voters

TX, GA, and NC have more complicated issues of race intersecting all that. hard to see any but NC breaking D, but the turn-out in TX and NC particularly leaves all the past is prologue modeling in shambles

PA will be nerve racking but ultimately I think it goes Biden. I'll be doing my part tomorrow in person

 

[plansb]

Pa here too. Two people in my household will be voting Biden as well.

On a personal side note I live in Brooklyn and have a in person job interview the day after the election in the Bronx. Why does 2020 hate me?

I am going have to get around cops, protestors, and Trump idiots..... in my good suit.... Then I got to get home again like the warriors.

Take the Metro north or an uber.

Not sure how closely you are following the polling for that area, but do you think the polls have captured the enthusiasm for Trump with that Demo in OKC?
