These new polls are telling us that if we turnout, we win.

[Yavin4]

Goes like this:

We turnout and Republicans don't turnout, we win.
We don't turnout and Republicans turnout, we lose.
We don't turnout and Republicans don't turnout, we lose.
We turnout and Republicans turnout, we win.

IOW, we control our fate. The polls were not wrong in 2016. Hillary lost because we didn't turnout and the Republicans did, esp. in WISC, MI, and PA.

1. AND VOTE EARLY!!

The Democrats have to get their votes LOCKED IN.

North Carolina sends out ballots starting Friday. Send them the fuck back by the end of September.

A vote now counts just as much as one on November 3rd.

2. Better yet. Drop them off in person at your offical polling place. n/t

3. Please check laws in your state regarding drop off. Not allowed in TN!

Some states do not allow ballots to be dropped off TN is one such state.

I'm voting early, in person.

6. Which is why I am voting in-person during our early vote period

Did it for the primaries, the latest of which were held prior to the August 6th election. Protocols were in place and paper ballots were used. I'm not taking a chance that my vote isn't counted. I know the last one was because I contacted our county's election department. Had a very quick response, 'yes' on my vote and a 'yes' on my valid registration.

I'm ready to go!

7. Me too!

I also voted early in recent primary, and will do so for Nov election.

I keep posting this info because who would ever dream a hand delivered ballot not to be an option?

9. Exactly! It's important information to get out.

But to be honest, I was impressed with the care our local district showed in making voters feel safe during the in-person process. The protocols were adhered to by everyone, hand sanitizer flowed freely and distance between voters and workers was scrupulously observed. It was a good, solid plan and it went perfectly. I expect the numbers will be much higher for the General, but I'm confident our venue has it under control.

Can't wait to get it done! In fact, if I had one complaint? I wish I could vote right now.

11. Same here

Except the one magat looking woman with mask down under chin. 😳 that & the fact that they insisted on handling my license. Everything else was great, though. Lots of room between voters, etc.

Yes, I wish I could vote right now, too. It's been a long 4 years!

[Under The Radar]

4. Agreed. And if the votes are counted honestly Dems win

Trump won Wi, MI, and PA by a total of 70,000.
Trump winning in ‘16 woke millions of people up and scared the shit out of them, and he has only made things worse for himself.
If they count all votes, Trump may win Mississippi....

[RDANGELO]

5. and all of the votes are counted.

Trump is going to try to stop counting of the mail in ballots. A certain percentage of mail in ballots get thrown out because people don't follow the directions or the signatures get challenged.

8. Republicans don't factor into all your scenarios. They vote.

If it's sunny, R's vote. Raining? They vote. Snowing? They vote.

Get out the Dem vote.

10. I agree that we've now reached the stage of turnout, turnout, turnout

There are very few people left to persuade. Ultimately, it always comes down to turnout. Republicans have known this for many years and are good at whipping their voters out the door. Think the 2016 election woke and terrified a huge swath of the Democratic Party. If we want to win, we cannot get comfortable with good polls or instinct. Conversely, we cannot become dispirited by propaganda or despair. Our best bet is to get ourselves and everyone we know out the door--running, not walking--to the nearest polling station.

This is our moment to tell Donald Trump what we think of him and his skeevy enablers. This is our moment to define ourselves in the now and for the foreseeable future. Personally? I can't wait to vote these thugs out.
