Vanity--My Experience Working Local Polls in Upstate NY

Posted on 11/08/2017 8:18:44 AM PST by AbolishCSEU

Last night I worked the polls in a local election in Upstate New York flanked by two Democrats. The first Democrat was what I would call an early senior beta male who is what used to be called a blue-collar Democrat.


TOPICS: Politics
KEYWORDS:
Beta male worked for a major shipping carrier that was unionized and gets a steady diet of CNN and the mainstream media on his satellite TV. The other is a self-described feminist however anti-union with a grown child and grandchild out of wedlock.

They both made it a point when I worked with them last election that there is a "nut case" (Read: conservative tea party type) who gets on his soapbox while voting. Obviously they are completely disgusted by this. Sure enough, this voter showed up and began to talk about how we are voting communists into Congress excetera; they immediately shut him down.

A few hours later a woman voter came in with her young son no older than 7 who looked like a dead ringer for Ralphie on "A Christmas Story." The proud mom said "do you know what my son said? He wished that he was old enough to vote so he could vote Trump out of office!"

Of course my Democrat election inspectors burst into laughter and got a great kick out of that. Somehow that was not electioneering but the previous guy was.

Later that evening beta male complained that there was no Democrats on the local ticket and that he felt his vote was not heard. I quickly retorted that in downstate New York it is quite the reverse. A quizzical look came over his face!

He then told me about how he and his wife enjoyed the Broadway play Kinky Boots in New York City. At that point I knew it was ready to stop throwing my pearls before swine.

Its never-ending. I don’t have the stomach for dealing with such people. You are a better person than I am.

Thank you for spending your time in this important process.

You should have asked the little boy if he liked his toys and what his favorite ones are.

And then tell under democrats he has to give half of them to the lazy bully down the street to make things fair.

And that Trump thinks that is unfair too.

Its a down day for decent people everywhere. Even sadder is the realization that you would not want any of these people in a foxhole next to you nor would you in the final analysis want to be in a fox hole defending them.

the sorry thing is that he had already been brainwashed by that age.
