Is it just me or does anyone else have a sense of dread with all the talk of a big blue wave

[mtnsnake]

that the media is going to put the hex on us again, and by next week they'll be reporting that the gaps in all the polls are closing drastically, setting us up for one hell of another nailbiter election?

Sometimes I just wish they would shut the fuck up about all the polls. God I wish Nov 6th was tomorrow.

1. Just go GOTV and get people to vote.

[mtnsnake]

5. Absoulutely everyone needs to do it more than ever for this election

There is nothing more satisfying than when you convince someone to vote Democratic who wasn't even planning to vote at all.

[PaulX2]

2. Early voting looks good

Make sure everyone on your contacts votes

[dhol82]

3. Yup!

I always quake at the manifestation of the sin of Hubris.

[marylandblue]

10. We are far from hubris this time. They have it now.

[spanone]

4. NOPE.

[Sherman A1]

6. Never was optimistic

Hopeful, but not optimistic.

[Botany]

7. Count on it! The media will push that the republicans are closing strong meme starting now.

And they will push that many Americans are very upset about the awful way
good old judge Kavanaugh was treated by that angry mob of democrats and
they will support the GOP this November.

[Kajun Gal]

8. Getting the heebie jeebies but still have faith.

9. I am nervous, but feel better this time around

Various indicators are more positive this time than they were in 2016. The nagging feeling I had in 2016 is not there this time.

I don't watch cable news so I don't care what they say.

[Autumn]

11. Since 2000 I'm always nervous about every election. They have cheated so

many times and the media manipulates the the narrative to give them cover. Now the feeling is worse because so much is at stake.

12. There is one poll that has Trump at a 47% approval rating and that is

the one they all talk about. They have him better than Obama now.

[Sugarcoated]

16. It was pointed out that Clinton, Obama and Jumbo Asshole

all were at 47-48% at this point in their presidencies, and the first two lost a whole lot of House seats so it's not a reliable indicator.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. After 2016, who wouldn't. I won't believe it until

all the votes are counted correctly and fairly. And we have no guarantee of that happening.

[klook]

14. I take nothing for granted, and yes, I am hit with pangs of dread from time to time.

But polls and pundits don't win or lose elections. Two things I'm not doing:

• Spiking the ball on the 20-yard line.


• Folding my tent and giving up before election day.

I expect Republican cheating -- hell, they're doing it right out in the open. And the Republican base is hugely fired up. So we have to out-hustle and out-number them. We have to be relentless in getting out the Democratic vote to prevent a Red Tide from poisoning the entire country.

[Azathoth]

15. This +1

[Garrett78]

17. I basically ignore the wave talk, and I mostly ignore the so-called news.

Just vote. In a couple weeks, we'll find out if we still have hope.
