THE THANG
YHC challenged the rest of the PAX (ie, Daaa Auditor) to see who, if anyone, could reach 270 electoral votes first.
Each team took turns picking a state out of a hat. The team that choose recorded how many electoral votes that state provides and the PAX of both teams did the exercise required. The exercise rubric is that states with, 1-10 electoral votes we perform Burpees
11-20 electoral votes we perform Merkins
21-30 electoral votes we perform Mountain Climbers
31-40 electoral votes we perform Monkey Humpers
41+ electoral votes we perform LBCs
There are a lot of small states, so the beatdown was burpee and merkin heavy. Ultimately neither team reached 270. Daaa Auditor had a commanding lead with 235 votes but YHC was convinced that with 193 votes he had a path to victory since PA, NY and TX had yet to be counted. Unfortunately time expired and the F3 Supreme Court stepped in to stop the counting and declared Daaa Auditor the Q of hoya-paxa. Since this is F3 and not the Federal Government, there was no contesting of the count or storming Nano’s house to stop the certification and ultimately there was a peaceful transfer of power.

COT
Politics has become very divisive and toxic. The MSM and social media have been amplifying and thriving on this division, with each side imputing evil motives to every action the other side takes. I have recently started listening to some podcasts with hosts who have views that don’t align with my politics, but they call out both sides of the aisle for their good and bad. While certain segments are tough to listen to because our views diverge, I’ve also found it refreshing to listen to discussions where my viewpoints are acknowledged and validated by the other side. It has made me more willing to listen to their POVs on topics, and has caused me to be more sympathetic to other views, even to the point where I’ve modified my thinking on some issues.
This has been helpful and encouraging to me and it’s my hope and prayer that during these next couple of weeks and in the weeks and months afterwards, we can all find some way to tone down the rhetoric, acknowledge the good and bad in both sides and build-on the common ground that we share
