Are we allowed to talk about the US election here. I am a brit and a bit fascinated by it. Its nothing like our elections in terms of RAZZ and Rhetoric.

Not sure if politic is off limits ?

Check your profile and see how many points you have left. Figure about 20 points for post.

Just joking. I would never advocate breaking the rules.  :D

Many here have the same concern for various reasons...

And political discussion is taboo here..not like it was in 2000 with the hanging chads chaos..had many a gore/bush then 911 Iraq war discussions without anyone losing their minds lol

We are a more sensitive lot these days lol

To be fair many people here are seriously under informed.

A low information voter is a dangerous thing.

No it hurts some peoples feelings if you dont agree with their political views so its not allowed to be spoken abut unless you have a fetish of being spanked by rule violations

Maybe more interesting than politics (at least to me) is the jeopardy facing two American Icons. The future for both Boeing and Harley Davidson looks very grim.

At this point the only reason to discuss this election is to know who believes what. No minds or votes will be changed.

Agreed but the reasons for both are political in nature. IMO.

Read that Boeing is looking to sell off their space venture.
