So - don't click. Or just leave a thread. djean111 Apr 2016 #27

Or you could respect this person's decision to click for whatever reason that may have been. Ed Suspicious Apr 2016 #30

Right. Cary Apr 2016 #17

Don't we want people to be talking about the election? oberliner Apr 2016 #22

They're not asking about the election, they're seizing the floor to start pontificating on it. Gidney N Cloyd Apr 2016 #21
