I'm in a red state and I'm voting like my life depends on it...

No one will stop me from voting. Period.

No matter how scared you are, or if you think trump will stay regardless, VOTE!

Don't let him stop you. Period.

1. Same here in deep blue NorCal.

[Atticus]

2. If necessary, crawl across broken glass to cast your ballot: Democrats, top to bottom. nt

3. It's not the people who spend their entire days on a political message board I worry about.

I'd wager every single person on DU is going to vote. That isn't the problem. The problem are the fence sitters, those who refused to vote four years ago or voted third party. It's about doing everything we can to show them their vote counts.

The easiest way to show them their vote doesn't count is by literally telling them that. Then the incentive, or the motivation, to stand in line and cast their ballot becomes far less than what it needs to be to get those fence sitters to the polls.

DU isn't a worry. It's the 40% or so other Americans who sat home four years ago.

9. The cake is baked.

I really do agree.

The vast majority of voters decided a long time ago whether they liked him or not, whether they would approve of his actions, and whether they would support his candidacy. For many voters, this cake is baked.

4. We might no win these rube-states in 2020, but making it close will still

impact legislation. Even in my state there is a chance Democrats could surprise GOPers with some unexpected victories.

5. I've heard it said more than once that states like Texas...

Arizona, Georgia and others won't be red by the next election cycle. Well, it appears that Arizona has a good shot of going blue this year.

Either way, in 4 or 5 years whites will be a minority in this country. The demographics are changing, but the repukes aren't. They will soon be more irrelevant than ever.

[Hoyt]

6. I think so too, but would like to send them a message this year.

And we might get a few surprise victories.

[bdamomma]

8. of course

they will NEVER make a so called "white country". They will be irrelevant.

[bdamomma]

7. He is a murderer

PERIOD. We have lost 200,033 Americans in 6 months, he has destroyed our lives. Afraid of this POS???, he should be afraid of us.

VOTE your life does depend on it.


To all ex-pats out there PLEASE VOTE.

[mzmolly]

10. Agree!

[RazzleCat]

11. me too, bonus because its a red state, voting is easy

we won't have closed polls, etc. now there is no virus here (fyi yes we have it bad, but no statewide mask mandate we follow the lead of Washington DC).

I assume that I will vote at the school down the road, you know the one that is open for in person schooling, with no problems (no that's not true, but hey were working on that heard immunity), after all I am a white woman in a red district of a red state, I am being encouraged to vote, there only problem is I am not a red voter.
