Mark.b2's JournalWhich election outcome--2016 or 2024-upset you more?
For me, 2016 was worse, no doubt. I absolutely didnt see it coming. It was inconceivable! I ws on way to Florida on a business trip. When I turned my phone on upon landing in Jacksonville, I had about five texts from fellow Democratic friends giving me the first inclination that things were going sideways. I got to my hotel and about an hour later, it was pretty much over. I nevr slept and was miserable in meetings the next day from shock and lack of sleep.
This year, after the initial excitement of Harris taking over waned, I knew changing our candidate so late in the game had put her behind the eight ball. And the last three weeks of the campaign, I had done some traveling, driving around the Midwest and Southeast, seeing signs and hearing people talk. I was discouraged some. So, I guess I was innoculated to an extent.
Neither year was fun, but 2016, for me, I will always remember most unfondly.
The Death of Stalin
I watched this for the third time over the weekend. It's an hilarious dark comedy based on the power play of Stalin's inner circle in the days after his death. It's very loosely based on actual events. Steve Buscemi and Jeff Tambor fans will love it.
I watched it on Hulu, but it may be on other services. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4686844/
