Though I know I can't exactly start it by myself so it depends on other people Nov 03 21:09:33 <NomadOfNorad> I wonder if its worth on-demand-printing some "Go Vermin Go!" flags to wave. Nov 03 21:09:50 <NomadOfNorad> Nah, probably too late to get them printed, Nov 03 21:09:53 <DreadPirateDrew> remember the polls don't even close here until 8pm Nov 03 21:10:22 <tjcrowley> @wanda_fl I'll start it.

Nov 03 21:13:58 <tjcrowley> we can figure that out or we can make it all one big stream Nov 03 21:14:51 <Wanda_FL> I was gonna say, it would probably be better to do just one steam rather than pull from eachother Nov 03 21:15:22 <vermin> Ill reach out to him. Nov 03 21:15:22 <DreadPirateDrew> Pirate Vermin Supreme Mega Stream Nov 03 21:15:24 <tjcrowley> stronger together!

From Dover to Rehobeth, from Newark to Trenton the team of Supreme/Realz spread the good word across the first state and people of Delaware. Seven Days, seven shows, some with audiences! Seven days of pavement pounding meeting the people. A wonderful range of reactions as always. A significant victory occurred Nov 03 21:18:33 <iamv> yeehaw Nov 03 21:18:48 <LightRiderTX> yay! and yay V Nov 03 21:18:50 <vermin> A significant victory occurred when the University of DE attempted to launch their mock election without including us under the excuse of ’not confusing the children.’ . After applying mock political pressure and creating mock outrage on campus the Joe Biden Institute Of Political Engagement or whatever came to their senses and added us. Smart money says we get more votes in the Mock than the Gen Nov 03 21:19:18 <vermin> Speaking of which, I beat Cornel West on the polymarket betting site Although I hear he is making a comeback.. I hope to have a more detailed assessment in the nearish future. Nov 03 21:19:19 <Wanda_FL> Is there a way to view the results of that? Nov 03 21:19:28 <tjcrowley> which is the real mock election? Nov 03 21:19:35 <Wanda_FL> I thought I read it was being conducted over Halloween Nov 03 21:20:02 <vermin> It was . I am sure they are hiding my sweep. Nov 03 21:20:22 * NomadOfNorad gets a goofy, lopsided smile. Nov 03 21:21:08 <Wanda_FL> It's so shameful they hide information from the duly elected President of Delaware.. Nov 03 21:23:14 <DreadPirateDrew> just make sure the link to join is charged with the board Nov 03 21:23:44 <tjcrowley> will do Nov 03 21:24:02 <NomadOfNorad> Are they afraid they'll get smacked upside the head with a boot if you don't like the results? :) Nov 03 21:24:03 <DreadPirateDrew> I'll even dress up in my constable uniform for yall Nov 03 21:24:15 <Wanda_FL> Awesome!! Nov 03 21:24:16 <iamv> nice drew Nov 03 21:25:15 * iamv has quit (connection closed) Nov 03 21:25:15 <DreadPirateDrew> anything else we need to discus? Nov 03 21:25:55 <Wanda_FL> Nothing from me.
