Jeg We voted early so missed out. Looks delicious. 3w
LeahBergen I didn‘t get a sausage for voting here in Canada on Monday! 😠😆😆 3w
CarolynM @Aims42 Australia voted in the federal election today. Our polling places are mostly school and church halls. A lot of their communities use it as an opportunity to raise money by holding sausage sizzles and sometimes cake stalls. It‘s become a part of the culture to buy a sausage after casting your vote. 3w
CarolynM @TheBookHippie It‘s a community building thing 🙂 Doesn‘t matter who you vote for, everyone wants to buy a sausage. 3w
CarolynM @Teresereading @Jeg Nevermind, maybe you‘ll get one next time😆 3w
CarolynM @Reggie It was pretty good 😋 3w
TheLudicReader I just heard about this…so funny! 3w

This book was amazing! It was so much nerdy fun to revisit this election and get the views from insiders from all of the various campaigns. The only downer is that I had this book several days before the election while finishing it a couple of days on the other side of Election Day…those Obama years where progressive thought we turned a corner seem so far away…no offense to those on the other side of the political spectrum.

JoeMo I will bluntly admit, I‘ve had quite enough of saying, “well that was the craziest fucking election I‘ve ever seen!” 🤷‍♂️😂🤦‍♂️ (edited) 6mo

I ordered this and another sweatshirt before the election and it only arrived this week… I decided it‘ll be my go-to for the next four years when I need a little pick-me-up. From boredwalk.com if you need your own pick-me-up. My other sweatshirt says “Stay-At-Home Unicorn” 🦄

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💙💙 7mo
BookmarkTavern Oh that sounds really interesting! Thanks for sharing! 7mo
DogMomIrene These both sound really good! 7mo
