I understand the need to vent. What just happened especially for women was demoralizing.
But when we talk about leaving the country and how Dems dont fight hard enough and how hopeless things are, that can serve to suppress turnout in some of our people.
We are only 29 days away.
The corporate media is lapping up McConnells propaganda that the Dems overreaching and mob mentality strategy only served to gin up Republican enthusiasm.
If so, We dont need to help him by depressing our own people and dwelling too long on negativity.
Only a few more days to register people in many states. Check yours. Some end tomorrow.
We need to finish that task and then find a Dems candidate office to go into and volunteer and/or send a few bucks to candidates in close races across the nation.
Dont buy any polling...both pro or con.....lots of new voters this time that may not be accounted for by most pollsters....polling is often wrong and volatile this far out.
Work as hard as we can until 11/6 for a Blue Wave 🌊!!!!
There will be plenty of time after 11/6 to look at moving to Canada 🇨🇦 or wherever,,,lol.

Im just hoping that we soon start to boost each others morale for 11/6. Just my hope.

(4,516 posts)not a good idea on a discussion board.
We already have enough group think bullies.
But then there are rose colored glasses for sale I think.
