the latest movies on MAX. Thanks for the suggestion!

But the electoral vote will make it seem closer. Harris and Walz are leaving no stone unturned. We've got this.

November 5th is going to be a long night. There's no sugarcoating it.

(Not helping, am I. Sorry.)

rational to his followers. Thank you!

I’d rather be her than him at this point.

Our laws, our structure, all those things that tie up movement and force slow change exist because mankind has always had ne'er-do-wells who want to be in charge. They never stop trying. They ferment ignorance and hate with the hopes of toppling light and democracy.

So we fight and fight and fight and for the history of our country, we have kept fascists at bay, for the most part, but they don't stop trying.

I guarantee you this, all this nastiness we are seeing is not new, it is simply out from under the rock it was hiding under.
Social media and trump have them a mouthpiece and a platform and they are using it.

But bad people surround themselves with bad people and usually they get so busy shivving each other in the back in their rat-king pile up, that they remove themselves from being a serious threat.

trump is just another rat king. He dreams of being a king, and he is one, of sorts... but rat kings and their ilk, twist around each other and take care of the problem themselves. They either chew off their tail and escape or they die in the tangle of desperate gnawing rats.

Not a pretty image but cancer can't exist without a host. A rat king can't exist without a tangle of other rats who want to be king.

Regardless of election, you will never be them, and you will take a deep breath and go back to fighting if America loses and they are elected.

And on that note, I probably just got put on trump's list of people he wants the army to take care of. Oh well, I'm on Putin's list too.

All these "polls" and negative articles about Been A Dick Donald surging, articles about more repuke registrations compared to Dem registrations, etc, are designed to do exactly what's being done to you, sow doubt, fear, to try to suppress the Dem vote.
I haven't had one worry since VP Harris became the nominee for our party, I don't believe the
"polls", nor the talking heads, for a fucking second, I don't even look at polls, they're worthless IMO, the only poll that counts is the one on election when we finally remove this pox on our house.

Take a deep breath, relax and GOTV, VP Harris and Gov. Walz have got this.

Now can you please advise what GOTV means? 🤣
I’ve seen it over and over and over again and still have no idea what it means.

Massive propaganda campaign.

Do as I do.
No TV
DU with filters.
Hacker News if you like tech.

Do whatever you can. Players play. Coaches get atrial flutter (Jim Harbaugh again). Fight. Win.

Didn’t know DU had filters and tho I do like tech I’m not sure what that has to do with “Hacker News” 😂

I’m just going to take a breath, relax, watch Kamala’s rally, and watch some movies. Thanks for posting!

That's why I post fun stuff about Trdmp and not Trump. I don't want to block my own OP's!!!!

It sometimes happens.

Winning in too many headlines means apathy from your base.

I don't see much incentive for poll propaganda other than confirmation-biased clickbait monetization.

Volunteer and donate. That is what will get the win. Polls aren't votes and are projections at a given time. We shouldn't worry that this race is close because whether you win by 50 or you win by 1, you win.

I realize that this is one of the most imperative presidential elections in our lifetime (I'm not saying that 2020 or 2016 wasn't imperative). The only poll that matters is voting on election day, so encourage and drive people to the polling location if they need it.



There have been multiple of these type of threads the last few days and it's encouraging to read and watch, there's more than what I listed as well. Always take a break if headlines gets too be too much of an overload. Take good care of yourself.

My own anxiety's been hard to control.

It is all sound and fury signifying nothing
Designed to derail us, enthrall us, keep our eyes off tomorrow’s possibilities
To stop 🛑 us from dreaming and working to see Kamala Harris elected as the next president of the United States.

Fear is the only tool some folks know how to use.

Ignore it. Take a walk in a green place you love.
Talk to your loved ones. Get a haircut or a foot massage. Breathe and then breathe again.

Ground game plus GOTV

It's part of the Dictator's Handbook --- page 49 Chapter7 -- Instill Fear and Despair
The goal is to remove any joy in their lives and make them fear you. There are many ways to do this.
For more information, see Putin's playbook pages 11 - 61




It's a tense time for all. In three weeks we'll know. It will be a long three weeks.

This will give you a sense of some control because you will be taking action that will affect the outcome.

But then, with Trump effectively sidelined as a two-time loser and soon to be imprisoned, begins the arduous task of the thorough deMAGAification of the country. It'll be good to have an experienced prosecutor in charge to oversee that.

always believed that this race would be close. It was unfortunately never going to be a blowout landslide victory for Harris. This is why the lead in these polls have changed several times in the last few months since Kamala was the nominee. I believe Kamala has a 50-50 shot of winning this. It's the equivalent of a coin flip so we are far from out of it. I don't worry about Trump winning because I feel there is no point of worrying right now while he hasn't won yet. Save the worrying for if Trump actually wins but for right now just focus on helping Kamala win whether it's donating or volunteering.

Failure is never pleasant in any aspect in life but as I have gotten older, I have learned to soften the blow of failure by giving it my all. If I fail but I know I have given it my all then I will never feel bad. I may feel frustrated with the result, but I won't feel bad about myself.

Nah.

And I've noticed other DUers are experiencing similar fears/panics/sleep loss. My neighbor, a retired architect who lectured at Yale, is glumly predicting a loss to Trump next month. I'm scared to check in with my son, who feels she understands his position, as a fellow prosecutor and a strong Democrat. I'm checking in tomorrow with my daughter whose husband is a Democratic political consultant in Boston. My husband is very quiet lately and glumly watches the news and doesn't want to talk politics.

So you are not alone....
