My faith in the American people.

[yobrault1]

Over six months ago I declared that tgf would not return to the White House. I stated that I believe in the American people. I believe that they have more in common than what divides them and I believe they know this.

A tiny bit about me: I lived in Atlanta, Georgia for five years as a Canadian business owner on a Visa. I, as an entrepreneur, worked with people from all different backgrounds in one of the busiest cities with an incredibly diverse population in the south.

I’ve travelled to many states and I believe this to be true, generally speaking, most Americans are not willing to give up the American experiment.

I don’t know how this election is gonna go some days I’m very nervous but other days I go back to that original thought, I believe in the American people and no matter what happens I always will.

May God bless and keep each and everyone of you and may God be with us all.

1. Mine can't get much lower.

8. I get it

but faith is believing in something that you can’t necessarily see. It’s a feeling that comes from a belief that people are generally good and don’t hate, and that there are those that are taught to hate. I truly believe there is more love in America than there is hate. I also believe there’s more joy in our future than fear.

2. The other day Carville was on CNN and said VP Harris will win. When the interviewer ask him why, he said "It's the

Constitution stupid"

12. THIS Right here

14. Exquisite talking point! LOVE it!!!

[anciano]

3. Love your optimism!

I believe Democrats are in much better shape for election day than the news media is indicating. But keep sending us your positive vibes anyway!
And best wishes to you as well.

9. The mainstream and social media platforms are owned by sociopathic billionaires.

also something I believe. It’s the “ When ppl tell you who they are. Believe them the 1st time. “ social rule kinda thing.

4. I agree...but you have to look beyond all the noise

So much of what we hear (on all media) is the bad stuff. Trump's endless lies. The rantings of his sycophantic, brain-dead followers. The up-and-down, always neck-and-neck polling. Etc. etc. etc. It's all designed to keep us frightened...and hooked. It's an addiction from which I constantly have to pry myself away.

The truth, I feel, is much more comforting. Practically all the people I meet are decent, kind, and good. I have been in several large crowds this past year--at diverse, non-political events--where a comment is made about Kamala and the place erupts in joyous cheers, and a comment about Trump is meet with stunned silence or boos.

We'll all know for sure on November 5. But to me this is all about the optics. Forget the polls. Look at the crowds, the joy, the support of countless celebrities, the overall national mood. It's been incredible. Unless I'm totally off base, we have this one in the bag.

7. Face it. If Trump locked up everyone who disagrees with him,

we would have to be entertained by a bunch of billionaires, Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

10. I used to think it was the shiny object rule

when it came to him and the media until all the right wing, billionaires started buying all the mainstream media and then a dreadfully in adequate Bruce Wayne wanna be buying x solidifying the social medias onslaught of the hunger games type propaganda and magas favorite wet dream scenario. But, I believe most Americans will reject this. Remember what MLK era civilians were up against, and they prevailed. There are no jack boot Nazi wannabees with badges that are going to be able to sick dogs on people and beat them to prevent them from voting. Americans need to remember this. No one is blocking them from voting , if they want change, every American eligible to vote must vote, no one but themselves can stop their vote. This election, I do believe that the American people understand this.

5. Thanks, but I believe almost half of Americans have come down

with a terrible mind-eating disease, called MAGA. They have lost their empathy and common sense. They have assumed the mantle of hate towards others.
Pray they recover. I'm doubtful they will.

[HagathaCrispy]

6. Oh no, I disagree 110%

They have ALWAYS BEEN RACISTS.

[Butterflylady]

11. That is why they love the orange con.

[Tweedy]

13. I agree with you

I too have faith in this great country’s people.

May God bless and keep you too.

May all of us put our fears away and embrace the possibilities of our future together by electing Kamala Harris our next president and Tim Walz our vice president.

Thank you, too, to Joe Biden for all of the wonderful things he has begun for this magnificent country.

15. IF they realize what's at stake, he'll lose.

MAGAts are not 50% of the country, they're not even 50% of tfg voters. But I've lost the feel I had about Americans. I don't know what they will do anymore.

Maybe a lot can't see the danger or don't think our system of government is as fragile as was shown in the events leading up to 1/6. I hope they see it.

16. I had a bunch of on line Canadian friends, many in the Toronto area, one from Vancouver for a whole bunch of years...

Good times!

Thanks for your hopeful words. I think real MAGATS are closer to ?25% - 35%.Of these the really violent ones maybe 8%+. Idk.
Not exaactly a small amount but certainly less than 50/50!

Always had positive thoughts about Canada. Visited Expo '67, and Toronto for my dad's friend's wedding in '66.

17. yobrault1 I also swing from despair to hope on a nearly daily basis, I know we have experienced divisions before, like

The Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, the push for women's rights, affirmative action, the Reagan years, and on and on.
We have managed to stick to the idea of a democratic republic and the idea of upward mobility even as it seems we have taken very backward steps, during the Reagan years, The G.W. Bush years and now through our current Supreme Court moving us backwards.

I see this election as a test of our commitment as a nation to ideas that have expanded with our increased diversity, even as the rules have been narrowed against that.

This election gives a clear choice. I remain hopeful that our citizens will choose to continue with the idealism of progressive, inclusive and democratic ideals.
