If being realistic and focusing on today makes me a Debbie Downer so be it.

Then I'm in good company down here on Planet Earth where we are in the process of making history.

BTW - I live in NJ.

That said - I have a list of 30 people to call in Bucks County PA this afternoon. I've already called 20 Seniors. I took Wednesday through today off to help GOTV and will be in Allentown on Sunday. Tomorrow is a hard canvass in my borough.

What are you doing to get out the vote other than being dismissive and displaying an attitude that could be perceived as snotty to someone who is actually trying to get Harris/Walz,, Altman, 3 Left Leaning School Board Members, and two County Commissioners elected?

Because seriously? If this post or my previous post is convincing people to stay home because we've got this in the bag . . . I would prefer to be a Debbie Downer.

I saw this in 2016 -

"Oh - fiddle dee! HRC is inevitable. ". ← People quit or didn't make sure to vote because they thought someone else would make it magically happen.

And look what fucking happened!
