25 Days: I've been 'fraid of changin'
October 9, 2020
Happy Friday.
There was one thing on the mind of the Tinaverse:
What about that fly?
Is Pence’s fly an insect or a shrunken man?
The fly on Mike Pence’s head won the debate. Period.
More Fleetwood Mac but nothing about The Fly???
We’ll take this opportunity to remind all of you that there was a subtle fly reference in yesterday’s email (“26 Days: I want to get away, I want to fly away”).
Anyway, we’ve got some questions standing between us and the weekend, so click on the Let’s Talk button to get started.
25 days until Election Day.

Question 1: Who do you think won the Vice Presidential debate?
Trump / Pence
Biden / Harris
Undecided & Third Party
I honestly forgot what it was like to watch a normal, boring debate until last night. I'm just so accustomed to Trumpian spectacle that I didn't think about what it was like...for the spectacle to just not be there.
Question 2: How would you describe your view of Mike Pence compared to your view of Donald Trump?
Trump / Pence
Biden / Harris
Undecided & Third Party
I didn't like Pence prior to the debate, but I had a more favorable of him compared to Trump. I like him so much less after the debate that now Trump and Pence are about even very, very, very low on my list. It's now clear that Pence is 100% complicit in Trump's actions.
I love both Pence and Trump, but in completely different ways. They have completely opposite but complementary personalities in a lot of ways. Also, as for the health of the president, that's such a slippery slope. As an American, do I want to know if my leader is truly compromised? Yes. Do we have the right to know what color Trump's morning crap was bc that is indicative of his health? Is that what yall want as part of his daily tweets? Where do we draw the line? He is still a human.
If pence was running as president with trumps policy record he would be crushing biden in the polls.
While Vice President Pence spoke softly and authoritatively during the debate, he completely ignored the moderator and kept talking way past his allotted time. He also claimed “facts” with a straight face that the public knows are false.
Question 3: How would you describe your view of Kamala Harris compared to your view of Joe Biden?
Trump / Pence
Biden / Harris
Undecided & Third Party
Question 4: The issue of fracking came up during the Vice Presidential debate. Would you support or oppose a ban on fracking?
Trump / Pence
Biden / Harris
Undecided & Third Party
Last nights debate was a fight for the moderate voter. Progressives like myself were watching and wondering why it was SO conservative. I want someone to ban fracking. I want real change. But right now, I’m setting for Biden to get the Cheeto out of the WH.
Question 5: The issue of health care was also discussed at the debate. Do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of the Affordable Care Act?
Trump / Pence
Biden / Harris
Undecided & Third Party voters are evenly split across “Favorable”, “Unfavorable” and “I’m not sure”.
I had Obamacare before I got married (now I have Tricare military insurance). When my husband left active duty we had to start paying for our health and dental insurance. Obamacare was cheaper (while we pay less than most other people for a family plan, it is still honestly too expensive for us). Under Obamacare I was actually able to keep my doctors - in the last year I’ve had to switch doctors twice because of Tricare coverage changes. It’s bullshit.
Question 6: One member of the Tinaverse wants to know: Are raisins an acceptable treat to give to trick-or-treaters?
Fleetwood Mac and raisins are for communists.
That’s… a take.
People who give out Raisins for Halloween are just as bad as those who give out toothbrushes. Don’t be that guy.
Sorry you don’t support good dental hygiene.
Question 7: Finally, following up on the #FleetwoodMacChallenge, one member of the Tinaverse wants to know: What's your favorite Fleetwood Mac song?
“Songbird”, “Don’t Stop” and “Everywhere” also got some votes, as did some write-in answers:
Rhiannon? You Make Loving Fun? THERE ARE SO MANY
THAT’S WHY WE ASKED.
Leather & Lace
Technically, isn’t that a Stevie Nicks song rather than a Fleetwood Mac song?
Secondhand News doesn't even make the top ten?
Surprisingly, it didn’t make this not-so-definitive list of the Top 10 most downloaded Fleetwood Mac songs.
Tusk is the best Fleetwood Mac song. Kids don’t deserve raisins.
Okay, then.
If we can just focus on fleetwood mac for long enough and hard enough we might just make it through the pandemic. Don't ever doubt yourself or the power of fleetwood mac.
Words to live by. Don’t let the landslide bring you down, folks.
Have a good weekend.
