Pledge to behave yourself after the election.

[fantome profane]

This means

No gloating if you win. Other people are going to be very upset, disappointed and even scared. Don't kick them when they are down.

No pouting if you lose. I understand you are going to be upset, disappointed, and scared. But save the histrionics. Don't spout unsubstantiated claims of rigging and conspiracies. And don't tell us this is the end of the world (save that till at least January). And don't blame the other side for voting. They voted, they won.



I hereby pledge this. This will not be easy for me, but it is important.

Your pledge will be visible.

I promise to behave.
Oh yes....

I behave a lot. Ask the staff of RF. I pledge to behave like a human being.

[Nietzsche]

Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped.
Look at that low playing! Fine, then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself.
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed,
Dummy, with the rapture and the rev-'rent and the right, right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched!

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

 

[Twilight Hue]

I adapt. Dosent mean I'll like it. Ranting is still free speech!

I pledge to be a normal human animal who has these things called "feelings" and "emotions." I will not pretend that I do not have these things, or deny that they happen, or that they are happening. Nor will I delude myself into thinking it is possible or reasonable to suppress something that is a foundation of my nature as a human animal. I will channel these things called "feelings" and "emotions" in the manner in keeping to my character, and ideally in keeping with my sense of virtue, and code of honor. So yes, I'll behave as a human animal does. As will everyone else reading this. We can't really do otherwise. It does not, however, mean they will met the OP's particular expectations about what that means. I have no intention of doing so.

 

[Revoltingest]

What if I don't behave now, & plan to continue the same?

 

[Riders]

Well Ill say this Im not happy with all the debating Ive done,it really doesn't go along with my Zen beliefs..I feel like Ive hurt my sisters feelings by arguing with her. Its wrong, my sister my family is worth way more then that,election doesn't matter.

My family and friends matter. I will say if Hillary wins,I didn't like either one of them and remember God is in charge to my sisters.

If Trump gets in that's fine,God is in control. I also believe Republicans like Pence and the house and Senate will essentially be running the office telling him what to do.

If he tries to push a crazy bill through like to build a wall around Mexico which we cant, they will vote it down, so I'm not worried about him being in office that's fine.I trust the house and senate to run that office.

 

[Scuba Pete]

I promise to behave as long as Clinton wins. Oh wait! I'm sounding like Chump!

FWIW, I opted for early voting on this topic. You won't know my ballot until after the election.

 

[David1967]

I will behave and be respectful to both Trump and Hillary supporters no matter who wins.

 

[Deathbydefault]

Third party voter, here.

If Jill loses, well that's expected and wont be surprising.
But if she wins... I might pass out consecuitively for days on end from amazement and happiness before I even get the chance to gloat

 

[David1967]

Good idea for a thread Btw. Cant wait to see how many keep the pledge. We have some pretty passionate opinions here.

Yea

ok, fair enough. If either Jill Stein or Gary Johson win you have my permission to gloat. You also have my permission to excrete bullfrogs from your rectum.

 

[sun rise]

I know I should behave myself. I know I would be well-advised to behave myself. I know I'm tempted and that temptation is an old, old friend of mine who buys me drinks all the time.

So if Clinton wins: "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away"

But if she does not: "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."

 

[Lyndon]

I'm sorry but I'm going to be gloating big time, the Trump supporters deserve it, they've been terrible.

 

[Acim]

If Hillary wins, I pledge to remain anti-Hillary.

If past elections are any indication, winning party will be able to gloat for a good 5 to 90 days about winning, then rest on their laurels while the other party's supporters dominate most of the national discussion and are vocal minority, resisting all the voodoo by the (then) current POTUS. Going back to Reagan, I've not known this to be untrue. The party out of power speaks the loudest and carries the national attention with regards to the ongoing cultural war. Would need a POTUS truly interested in healing the partisan divide for it to show up differently, IMO.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

This is like asking 20 toddlers in a room with 3 toys to all share and behave nicely.

Sorry, that was unfair to toddlers.

 

[Revoltingest]

Rex, Kilgore is looking at me!
Make him stop!

 

[Valjean]

I'm looking forward to running amok.
One gets so few excuses to run amok these days.
