Some Trump or Russian hacker got into my home network and blew up my smart Tv last night. In 2020, a hacker got into my Samsung phone and blew it up. They are terrorists. Russia and Trump are the enemies

The turnout point is so important. The media clowns are ignoring 2022 and focusing on the 60 bogus polls dumped into the system by Trump acolytes. My prediction: Harris 50, Trump 45, Others 5.

What an uplifting post to read first thing this morning! I’m going to stop right there and hold these thoughts of Harris standing tall against the Abject Incompetent in my mind for the rest of the day. No more doomscrolling. Thank you for the palate cleanser!

Thank you for this David! It’s the most articulate and hopeful info to be found on the election these days! As far as polls, are there any you find credible?

The entire R "strategy" ( if you can call it that) is based on the bet that the election will be close so they can throw it to the House of Representatives. It's not just the polls. The VP herself is saying that.

The threat of a fascist America is so great that I won't rest easy until she's inaugurated.

Still, the thing that gives me the most hope is that Joe Biden is the President.

Yeah. That guy. The old man who has been underestimated his whole life who put this whole thing in motion.

I watched The War Room last night, the documentary on Clinton’s first run. The night before they were planning a concession speech. They ended up winning 400 Electoral College votes. I don’t think we will see 400, but 310+ would be great.

Watching Steve Kornacki on MSNBC tonight warning AGAIN that the polls show a closing of the gap for Trump made me want to throw my ketchup against the TV. No analysis of the polls again. Reminds me of the saying from my childhood, "When in danger, fear, or doubt, run in circles, scream and shout." Kornacki leads in that!

Excellent! The only thing I would suggest to Kamala is to keep talking about Trumps mental decline and it’s fine to call him a fascist and to talk about what he intends to dfo if elected. She started that today and she needs to do more of that.

Of course part of her success is because of her campaign staff; an effective leader knows how to choose the right people to help get the job done. An effective leader knows “only I can do it” is a ridiculous statement to make.

Huzzah! But all the while in the back of my mind (while writing postcards, etc.) I'm wondering why the so-called mainstream media are so screwed up, as in "why are they so incapable of being honest about Trump and why do they ask Harris such stupid questions?" Some media critics blame it on "corporate media." OK, but corporate or ultra-wealthy owners don't pull the strings on reporters or lower-level editors. Reporters tend to be a fairly intelligent, skeptical lot -- or they were when I knew more of them than I do now. I hope we see some in-depth analysis of this in the near future. (And if anyone has recommendations to make of works in print now, I'm listening!)
