It really shouldn't be close at all, there is no choice for reasonable people. An articulate, intelligent, conscientious, energetic, successful person with a vision for moving America forward in excellent ways vs. a convicted felon who instigated a lethal insurrection against the country/Constitution he took an oath to protect as well as defying the espionage act with the theft of top secret documents and who has nothing to offer America except cozying up to dictators, advancement of white supremacy, division and tax cuts for the very wealthy.

During Democrats, lower & middle class increase standard of living. During Republicans, billionaires become richer and lower and middle class Americans needs are ignored. That's a fact.

Imagine wearing these kinds of t-shirts in a red state 👇 🤣

I just posted a link to the Harris economic policy on Facebook (yeah, I'm a dinosaur). I posted it with a note that I'm not looking to get into an argument, but here it is. For anyone else who wants the link, this is it:

I swore I wasn't donating any more this month after answering so many requests during the 24 Hours in '24 marathon (you were awesome BTW!) because my check doesn't come until Oct 3...but I couldn't say no to your plea for Woodson Bradley!!! Thanks for all you do; take good care of you!

Patty Murray is my Senator 😘. Also, I voted yes on the survey because I use the listening option daily. Listening is also available through substack's AI option, which I use for any substack that doesn't have a real person talking. It's improving all the time, so just want you to know that we listeners do have another way to do so. Thanks!

I felt guilty answering "No,"

but I'm relieved to see your post that there is an audio alternative available in Substack.

So MAGA would get rid of FEMA, and when all those coastal dwellers start moving inland they'll whine and complain about US citizens migrating to their states. They really cannot see the potential consequences of their actions. Nor can they have a heart.

It's cutting your nose off to spite your face. In other words, it's pure STUPIDITY.

Lincoln on winning elections, close quote "Know who is for you. Know who is agin you. Talk to the undecided!"

Various events recently have given Trumpsters who actually KNOW better an excuse to abandon the Mango Mussolini and remember they are being loyal to the GOP while voting for Kamala and Tim. Remind them we need to save the republic (respect for the law even by the President) so our democracy and Constitution can survive. love, Doc

What’s getting under my skin most over the last couple of days is a series of articles I’ve come across in different sites all with the same theme, “ are Democrats overestimating. Harris is strength and underestimating Trump.?”

The horse race and Trump are "easy" news. Mediocre newspeople can write without much effort to provide insight. most voters don't read. They hear propaganda. Very frustrating aspect of democracy; their votes count too. Love, Doc

I am a little less of a political geek than you are, Jess (and I mean that with HUGE respect for all you do), but almost NOBODY is going to read the Harris/Walz 82-PAGE Economic Plan. What's up with that? Seems like a lot of effort for next to no return in terms of votes. Thoughts?

Can you write something to encourage our cultural icons : musicians, actors etc into signing a letter of support for Harris/Waltz campaign. During Vietnam these were our heroes calling out the disaster of the day and helping to bring the war to an end. This election is much more important, yet only a few of our female music stars have had the courage to do this !

Thanks for yesterday's tip about the NC 42 race. Your post was how I found out that the daughter-in-law (Woodson Bradley) of my late father's fiancee is running. So happy to be able to support her, Jessica. Keep up the great work!

North Carolina's State Board of Elections just announced they removed 747,000 voters from the voter registration list. As Heather Cox Richardson pointed out, "Trump won NC last time with about 75,000 votes." Jessica, please write how volunteers can best help remind NC voters to check their voter registrations. Even NC voters who feel confident that their's wasn't removed may be surprised.

Votefwd.org has had letters going out to remind NC voters to vote; hopefully those removed were adopted before that happened, as their letters are due to go out on October 1.

Hurricane Helene should be a "learning moment" for voters in Florida. "Republicans want to get rid of the National Weather Service and the NOAA, cut FEMA, and gut federal flood insurance." ?!?
