Something is happening. You can see the blue wave now.

[wiseowljedi]

Out neighborhood was very quiet until early voting started. Then all hell broke loose. Democratic volunteers came every day. Kamala's army is huge. They are everywhere. The state democratic party sent instructions on on how to vote. We live in a swing state.

My ballot was mailed. It got to the recorder in one day. They verified my signature and it's in the vault ready to be counted. Our voting system is wonderful. It's the best in the world. Tell Trump to take his lies about our elections and put them where the sun doesn't shine?

The whole family is going solid blue. Many former republicans. Country first. Many young voters newly registered between 18 and 25. All going blue!

[getagrip_already]

1. Which state? Just curious? Nt

[wiseowljedi]

2. Arizona

[mike_c]

32. Phx? We're in the west valley, just starting to see Harris/Walz signs...

...among all the republican signage, much of which appears to be recycled from 2020! Republican signs have been up since spring, making me grit my teeth at every intersection.

3. Very good, but no overconfidence please. n/t

[mopinko]

5. that's not how it works.

there’s always a slight danger of that, but it is more than offset by the hope factor.

[Trueblue Texan]

11. I'll take confidence over lack of...it's worked for the GOP

There is a difference between confidence and arrogance. We need the confidence.

[PCIntern]

28. Please stop...

Why can’t someone feel like they’re gonna win one? Do we have to walk around all day like Lippy the Lion’s sidekick Hardy Har Har? Oh me, oh my.

Please.

[4th]

29. Just the usual disclaimer about not counting one's chickens.

I certainly do expect to win.
But we need to keep up the pressure.

[Deuxcents]

38. Welcome to the DU..some have more jitters than others 😬

[mopinko]

4. door win elections. the personal touch wins elections.

ground game wins elections.
we’re gonna mop the floor.

[Farmer-Rick]

16. Yeah, the GOP gave up on a ground game

When Trump's daughter in law pulled all funding from satellite sites even in battleground states.

They tried to cover it over with Musk's money by hiring contractors. But contactors are not enthusiastic volunteers.

Trump is relying on the corporate media to do his advertising and propaganda for him and he expected the Evangelical churches to do the door knocking.

But for whatever reason that never materialized. Some churches were standing around holding signs on the corner but here in very red, rural TN, the Evangelicals never came out to knock on doors for Trump.

[wiseowljedi]

6. I have never seen these young people so fired up

My grandkids all college students. They are so fired up I cannot believe it. My granddaughter is a Swiftie and she has fire in her eyes.

[BowlerBob]

7. Go team BLUE!

[wryter2000]

24. Welcome to DU

[BowlerBob]

42. Thank you!

[AllyCat]

39. Welcome!

[ramedy]

8. Thank you.💙

This is the reality.

The doom and gloom around here ( the polls! The polls! ) is getting tiring.

We are going to win and win big. 💙

[wryter2000]

25. Welcome to DU

[ramedy]

37. Thank you for the welcome.

I’ve actually been here since 2004. I am using another screen name. Lurked for many years, but now I’m back. 😁

[bucolic_frolic]

9. I'm seeing the opposite because of my region

Trump signs are proliferating, a new one today 'Trump low prices, Kamala high prices'

and 'Trump No Crime, Kamala Crime'

I can't imagine anyone being swayed by such nonsense, even ignoring the facts.

[arlyellowdog]

10. Oh we have those Trump signs plastered all over Arlington, Va

And far fewer Harris/Walz signs then you’d expect. Does that mean Arlington isn’t going to vote overwhelmingly for Harris/Walz? Hell, no. Just like everything else, Trump has changed civility. If you put a Harris/Walz sign up, it gets destroyed overnight, so voters aren’t doing it. And some dumbass Trumper made offensive signs we just have to ignore. (I put my signs in my window).

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Plus there are a lot of federal employees there

and although the Hatch Act doesn't forbid stuff like lawn signs, i know before I retired as a fed here in Philly, i always had to "cool it". In my office, it was to the point where we couldn't even put up a pic of Michelle Obama and the girls at our desks - only a printout of the "official" Obama portrait.

[LauraInLA]

13. Can you share where you are?

[bucolic_frolic]

27. Red tradesmen Pennsylvania

[Meadowoak]

26. Rural red KY here. Not seeing any Trump signs

And a handful of Kamala Walz signs.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

30. The Progressive insurance commercial re: the economy is great.

When the kid says at the end... "I'll look it up". It says so much about us today. We don't understand how the economy works in the world.

[ananda]

14. Good to hear!

Lovelovelove

[AllyCat]

15. Yay! And welcome to DU!

Signs have sprouted all over my city and for a month, all I saw were TCF and Hovde signs. Usually 2-5 in one yard. It really has turned around.

The fact that SS will be insolvent in 6 years under orange man should give EVERYONE pause.

[valleyrogue]

41. SS is not going to be "insolvent"--EVER. That is a media lie.

The federal government and its programs CAN'T go "insolvent" or "broke." That is a LIE that has been spewed by Koch-backed interests who do not want to pay their half of the FICA taxes.

Any 'shortfall" can be easily made up by using the general fund, just as SSI is paid through the general fund.

Trump isn't going to get elected anyway. He can't do fuck all about SS without congressional approval.

[SunSeeker]

17. 3 solid blue votes went out and were already counted from my Southern California house!

We are hoping for a blue Congress, but we know Kamala will win California.

In California, the mail-in ballot is counted as soon as the county registrar of voters receives it, and you can track it and see if it has been counted on the county website!

[DAngelo136]

18. Remember

the name of the game is: TURNOUT.
There's a reason why the Republicans engage in voter suppression; why they engage in Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt tactics.
Listen to the late and unlamented Paul Weyrich (Co-founder of the Heritage Foundation) explain the reason:

When we come out in numbers; we win. It's that simple.

[barbtries]

21. is that guy dead yet?

so sick of anti-democracy so called christians. they fuck it all up.

[PlanetBev]

22. Weyrich has been dead for years

I was thrilled when he died, just like I was with Pigboy Limbaugh.

[AZ8theist]

40. And that won't be anywhere near the spontaneous party when the Treasonous Pig clocks out!!!!

[samsingh]

19. 'many former republicans' voting Democratic is fantastic.

[barbtries]

20. i love these stories!

i feel so hopeful. 13 days.

[wryter2000]

23. Welcome to DU

[TheProle]

31. AZ - Early Voting Data

35. Gonna be a world of blue hoo headed GOP way

[Snoopy 7]

34. Wow

I went to vote today and it was amazing. There were so many smiles on peoples faces and talking to each other. But every now and then you see somebody looking all grumpy looking mad. The way it looks right now San Marcos Texas looks like we’re going blue.

[usonian]

36. What blue wave?
