Just stressing at this point. So much PTSD from 2016 debacle and cannot shake the fear that tRump et al will cheat their way back in again. Have had to stay off Twitter, etc. Politico article about Florida voting etc. have me worried. Frustrated that DNC has not been doing more outreach over the last 4 years to Hispanics. Ugh.
Right on Michael, you got this. I am reminded of a bumper sticker I had when I lived in SF for all those years, "The moral majority is neither"!! Go Joe and vote blue :-)!
It's going to be exciting to have a president and a Senate we can press our advantage with, instead of having to fight off being put in boxcars to the camps.
I have many thoughts. Even if Biden wins the presidency and Democrats win the Senate (which remains a frighteningly large question), Biden has to balance a genuine desire for change with the reality that the fragile coalition that elected him may dissipate soon after Trump leaves office (assuming, of course, that we aren't torn further apart by prolonged election litigation). He has the chance to be very strategic in laying the groundwork for a generation of progress in a range of areas (racial justice, LQBTQ, voting rights, income inequality). This would require discipline in messaging that Democratic leadership has failed at for decades. We do have great communicators, but they are shut down by Pelosi and Schumer. I am as afraid of their bungling as I am of the GOP's venality. The tragedy is that 75%-80% of the country agrees with the changes that would be made by a Biden administration, but unless current leadership steps aside to allow for strategic and continual messaging of these changes, these largely popular ideas will be twisted by right-wing media, and we will end up with another GOP sweep in 2024. Frankly, if I were Biden, I would hire Mayor Pete as the spokesperson for a New Deal-type agenda and keep Pelosi away from media altogether. Of course, I am dreaming...the Senate races are incredibly tight and will tighten even further in the next 4 days.
Right. Agree.

We MUST at least least least win the Senate!
Either way

I am worried what to order for election night food
It’s a toss up between deli or diner or Chinese food

Totally agree!
And for me women's rights.
I'm appalled at having to go back to the 70's again if women lose their right to make their own reproductive choices.
