Despite all the doom scrolling, Harris has a comfortable lead in the electoral college right now.
The time for vibing is over. It’s too late to change anyone’s opinions (especially because national level events like debates are over). Harris will finish her Media Blitz soon (including a Fox News showing) while Trump retreats into his shell hoping no one notices how damn stupid his mouth is.
This is the time for doing. The focus should be on voter drives and other get out the vote pushes. It’s mid October, and the October surprises are against Trump and in our favor.
It’s not the lead we wanted but it’s a lead nonetheless. Don’t talk yourself out of believing this lead because of a bad poll or two.
Most of my extended family (including the retirees voting by mail) have all voted for Harris. The rest are doing the same, but in-person. My wife is sending postcards and I’ll be making GOTV calls over the next few weekends. We’re not in a swing state, but we’re doing what we can, and donating to both top and down-ballot elections as much as we can afford.
Forget the polls. They don’t matter at this point.
All hands on-deck. LFG.
I’m getting really close to being hopeful that I’m going to be in a swing state. 538 has slowly been showing it in lighter shades of red as we get closer. And the Senate race is polling closer than the last challenger who lost by <3%. If people turn up and vote, there’s a very good chance of excitement
