How can this race be close??? He’s a lying monster. I’m Canadian (Montreal) and I’m losing sleep and my generally pretty relaxed demeanour is anxious as hell…Why are there not better barriers in place to avoid a convicted felon from being in this position…a travesty!!! But know many of us up here in the cold North deeply care. And I LOVE Substack!!!
You could come join me in Vegas for donuts+democracy. Flying there now and doing events Wednesday-ED including a tailgate at the UNLV basketball game on 11/4! Dm if you’re interested. No pressure of course - you’re doing so much just from home!
I might be walking for the rest of the month - not sure I can afford gas - empties the piggy bank for Osborn because I know my $ there has such an outsized effect!! I think you go where they need the most help.
So amazing to have Kathryn Grody read and promote CWCW! I love her and Mandy Patinkin. Congratulations. The three of you are wonderful role models for activism and all that is good in humanity.
I've cued up Healing, Feeling Sh*t Show podcast to listen to later today. Donated to Dan Osborn. Looking forward to Kamala's speech today.
This election answers a fundamental question about who we are as a nation. If felon Donald is re-elected, everything will change.
We will no longer be a nation of equal justice for all!
You can remove the tablet from the Statue of Liberty. The idea of liberty only applies to the rich, the white, and males. Women will become second-class citizens.
We will abandon our allies and embrace authoritarian dictatorships.
In short, we will have become the antithesis of the ideals upon which this country was created!
I can't wait to celebrate Harris/Walz victory wearing this totally unhinged radical liberal t-shirt on November 5th 👇
I'm in Mecklenburg County (NC). I've been tracking our early-in person voting and it has been very steady. Typically there is a lot of enthusiasm for the first 2 days of EV but that it drops off quite a bit and then picks back up in the final 2 - 3 days of the EV period. That is not the case as much this year. As of yesterday (Day 12 out of 17), we had already exceeded the total in-person early vote for 2016 and were at 79% of the unprecedented 2020 EV totals. (At this point in 2020, we had 71% of the ultimate in-person early vote).
Early voting is popular with both Democrats and Republicans here (darn it!). But I am encouraged because the Democrats have the much better ground game, so we can leverage Simon Roseberg's "Vote on Day 1" strategy to concentrate canvassing and phone banks on lower propensity voters as we clear most of the higher propensity voters as they vote during the EV period.
I did my 6th poll observer shift this afternoon (ending at 7:30 pm). Some general observations:
* there is a huge gender gap in the early vote (currently over 13 points according to Tom Bonier's Target Early tool)
* There are a lot of first-time voters and a lot of people registering to vote at the polling place - far more than I recall from doing poll observing in 2022.
From the Harris/Walz rally streamed live earlier today, (link below)
One of the speakers said, Let's turn the page on Donald Trump, and elect Kamala Harris.
I would add, Not only turn the page, but SLAM the book shut on tffg, and ensure that he can never hold any positions of power in what remains of his (un)natural miserable life.
Amen. One addition. The Madison square Garden surrogates denigrated groups on addition to Puerto Ricans. Please list all the groups affected by inhumane comments on Latinos, blacks, Jews, others. Why is national media not talking about obscene comments on all Latinos for ex?
My daughter went to Reno to canvass last weekend and said it was an awesome experience. She realized though, that there were a goodly amount of Trumpers there. UGH! Jacky Rosen will win! NC can really use your help, Jess. They’ve been hit in the front and back with obnoxious disinformation about FEMA and well, just trying to get their feet on stable ground again. Mecklenburg encompasses Charlotte which is pretty much an international city like San Francisco. Raised in rural NC but resident in No. CA since 1974.
I created my own postcards to hand out with the help of my more technological friends stating: “ I am a neighbor of yours. When everybody has an opportunity to vote, our voices are heard. There are false statements being made to encourage people to give up their political rights. Don’t listen to them!. VOTE with your gut because democracy is worth waiting for. My sincere best to you, MLB”. Walking the streets to deliver.

It may not be close. Over half of the polls are garbage red wave polls,
I vote for Mecklenberg Co NC! Let us know where you decide to go! Love you (in a platonic, para-social, activist, life-long Dem) kinda way.
Strongly considering it.
I second NC but you'll be a huge asset wherever you go!

I am now leaning towards Nevada so this is a real possibility!

Thank you!

Oh I’m aware it was an “equal opportunity” slur fest. Absolutely ghastly.
