I am having a really hard time shutting off the election results and having a solid night seder... Any insights or words of encouragement?
Stop doing something that you'll have absolutely no effect on, and instead do something that will have an actual real effect on the world.

Following on my computer. But that will be really hard.

Maybe I'll let myself check the status of the race every 30 minutes...

I can't stand all my groups being bombarded by this

You're in too many groups. I don't have a single one discussing it.

I will take the blame. I should have invited you to come with us.
On that note, we had a delicious dinner last. $65 for the four of us. Tasted just like Mom used to make.

C'mon man. You're only allowed to follow politics, it's pas nisht to follow sports.

Any hero worship of someone that isn’t fitting to be a hero is pas nisht.

Quite a leap from "following" to "hero worship."

In my experience as a recovered sports addict it was difficult to follow professional sports without also becoming emotionally attached to the players. Seems like Trump fans have the same difficulty. Trump and the majority of professional sports players are not people that we should have an emotional attachment with in my humble opinion.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.
