My mother (who would be well over 100) talked about when she was a little girl how they took a trip to the cemetery and had a picnic lunch while visiting “The relatives”.
Even worse is the premature concession. Carter conceded before the west coast polls closed and depressed turnout. Even if the result is apparent, just wait until ALL the polls close.
Yes I know that would mean no concession till 1am (ET) but the talking heads can keep you occupied until then.
Hillary had it right to wait until Wednesday morning. Al Gore (& Billy Daley) were so anxious to concede that they were on the way to do so while Florida was (obviously) still in play.
If you do not vote you have no right to complain. If the person you voted for doesn’t do a good job then you have the right and duty to loudly complain and criticize.
I lived near an “Ovaltine” factory (since closed) that most of the time had no perceptible smell. However twice a year they cleaned the vats. When that happened the stench was incredibly evil and the smell of vomit would have been an improvement.
The crusts (end pieces) protect the middle ones! Once you start with the ends the middle turns stale much much quicker.
