Possibly unreasonably hopeful election talk
While we're all very divided in the US right now, I wanted to say that my experience from 6-8am at Potomac Falls High School polling location was that everyone was very kind to each other. They seemed happy to be there to try to do what they thought would make the country better, and were appreciative that their neighbors were doing the same. Sorry for being saccharine, but participating in our elections always makes me a bit hopeful, and I wanted to share my hope.

@kristinmbranson Thanks for sharing! I wonder how much our impression of polarization is driven by the weird social dynamics of the internet (esp Twitter et al) where a small fraction of the populace doing bad things gets broadcasted everywhere making it seem like the world is worse than it really is?
Most people are trying their best in my experience.
