Anything for a Vote: Dirty Tricks, Cheap Shots, and October Surprises in U.S. Presidential Campaigns | Joseph Cummins

With the election only 2 days away, two books come to mind. The tagged book details America's long history of dirty politics and political machinations. The other is Almost President by Scott Farris. This book is about the men, and women, who ran for president and changed the nation, even though they lost. The author needs to update this to include Donald Trump, who has definitely changed the way people vote, the way campaigns are run ⬇️

RamsFan1963 ⬆️ and the way candidates interact with voters. Love him or hate him, Trump and the other candidates who are his style will affect politics for many years to come. #GoVote #VoteBlue💙💙 2mo

DogMomIrene These both sound really good! 2mo

I voted, by mail, at the beginning of October. Its not like I had a hard decision who I was voting for. I look forward to a casual readathon to take my mind of the coming storm of increasing election BS, my phone is ringing off the hook from damn robo-callers from both parties. I'm off work the 28th, 30th and 3rd so I will get in some quality reading time, if I can stay focused.

TheBookDream Does it count if I‘m voting tomorrow? Can I participate? 4y

RamsFan1963 @TheBookDream Of course you can. I assume "early" means any time before the official November 3rd election day. 4y

SamAnne I wish I could just fall into a deep sleep and wake up November 4th. Or that I could just go on a drunken party bender without a care in the world. Until November 4th. In retrospect, I wish I had scheduled an off grid vacation somewhere with no internet access. Most years I am doing election volunteering, but this year with Covid, I'm not (I just hate the phone calling stuff). Ugh. Barrett's confirmation today was just too much for me.

TheBookDream @SamAnne I hear that. I also normally volunteer for election stuff, but can‘t due to Covid (I thought about it, but I am having some serious trouble functioning outside my house so it‘s not happening 😩). It suuuuucks 4y

I wish I had one of these, maybe I'd feel better about this midterm election. The TV is off and I'm staying away from social media, reading a history book to get some perspective. No matter who wins, the fight goes on.

✅ tiebreaker votes needed! Due to my broken ankle and not being able to do much besides read I‘m racing through my #MakeMeReadIt stack. I didn‘t think I‘d get this far earlier so now I need you to vote for my next read as these four all tied with two votes each.

Vote below and I‘ll start on whichever book is ahead tomorrow. Thanks in advance for your votes! So far, I‘ve read some wonderful books doing this 😊😘

#MakeMeReadIt Update: These two books tied for 4th place with two votes each. Please help me out by voting to break the tie in these final days of July. I'm not sure I will get to the 4th book in August, but if I don't the winner of this run-off will be my 1st read of September. So which will it be? Thanks for voting!

#SeasonsReadings2016 - settling in for a #HotDrinkAndABook before work!

I secretly love getting to my work neighborhood early so that I can sit somewhere cozy and read a bit before starting my day.

I also not-so-secretly love this peppermint hot chocolate 👌
