Dear Election Concern Trolls; [View all]

Oh Hai. I see you are very very super dooper concerned that Hillary cannot possibly win; not with the fact that the FBI found some emails that are not hers on somebody elses computer. I have emails from Hillary too, we are pretty tight. Sends me emails daily, uses my name and keeps me up to date on her daily life and future goals. I await the FBI.

She is up in most polls nationally. But oh my, those silly tracking polls show that she is seriously losing. By like a point. So, even though she is up in most swing state polls that we need to win, I can see how concerned you are about those outlier polls. I realize you put alot of work into scouring the interwebs, searching far and wide for something, anything really, to be concerned about.


Let me help you out. Stop. We already know what you are doing, it is as clear as glass. You are concern trolling and we are totally fucking bored with it. Honestly, don't you think you should work on GOTV efforts? https://www.hillaryclinton.com/calls/

Or not. Since your goal is not the same as the rest of ours.
