Warning: This post focuses on politics, a topic I usually avoid here. I’m granting myself a rare exception in unusual circumstances. Normal service will be resumed shortly.
America is choosing it’s next president. As elections go, it’s kind of a big one. As a newly minted American citizen, I got to vote for the first time. I can’t say I got all emotional over it, but it did at least feel like an important rite of passage. Thanks to the weirdness of the electoral college, it probably won’t count for anything, but I at least did my bit.
I think this is the point where I’m supposed to urge my readers to go out and vote. Which, if you’re a Biden support, I absolutely urge you to do. Particularly if you’re in a swing state. If you’re thinking of voting for Trump, then my suggestion to you is best summarized by Bill Hicks and his views on Marketing. Seriously though. You are Satan’s little helpers.
At this point it’s not even a left vs right thing. It’s a basic question of character, competence and human decency. I can respect a right wing political view, even if I disagree with it, but Trump is something totally different. Something from a horror movie. Don’t make me regret adopting this country as my home.
To connect back to this blogs purported theme – let me direct you to this Rolling Stones article on pro-dommes encouraging their clients to vote Blue. The story even made it into Colbert’s monologue. They’re probably not going to swing the election, but every little helps.
This is one of the domme’s featured in the Rolling Stone article – Mistress Orion. She’s an NYC based pro-domme. You can find her twitter feed here and her OnlyFans here.
Well said and thank you for exercising your right to vote, as meaningless as it might seem in some states. It is about human decency. In the not too distant past, we had two political parties who, despite their differences of opinions would typically settle in favor of the common good. One of those parties has disintegrated into an unrecognizable embarrassment – the “Grand Old Party” is no more.

I agree. There are important discussions to be had about the right way to solve social problems and create a harmonious society. No side has a perfect answer to those. But the discussions have to be based on a common shared reality and undertaken with good faith. You can’t debate with someone who thinks reality is whatever they claim and whose words and actions are totally misaligned. It’s a sorry state of affairs.
