I voted absentee during the June primary since Governor Cuomo sent every single voter an absentee application - with the pandemic reason clearly marked. I'm on the fence when it comes to the GE, but I agree with the advice that we all need to plan our votes. I'm leaning towards voting in person, as well - but I have over a month to decide.

Mail boxes are being vandalized.

Also video feed caught mail being dumped in.parking lot in CA.

Additionally, I saw a DU post saying old address was on mail. Like a machine generated sticker. Rat fucking the programming?

Dunno but I won't risk it!

But you do bring up a good point - I'm not aware of too many problems here in New York, but that doesn't mean that we're safe.

I'm sure you will make the right decision for yourself.

I just cannot entrust my vote to DeJoy's dystopian nightmare.

I did not watch to the end. Perhaps I missed this incredible win.

Deb Haaland



Sharice Davids


These two women are the FIRST AMERICAN NATIVES EVER to be elected to congress. I am sad that the video overlooked their achievement. The squad is featured, not these two. Sigh.

I appreciate your thread. Just sad they were not included.
We can do this. Women can lead the way.

Especially among women. They said that more women voted in 2018 - but surely we can do better than 55%, that's just barely above half of those eligible.

My grandmother voted for Bill Clinton twice - in '92 and '96 - and she was born in 1900, so the year matched her age. She called me especially just to tell me - and I told her that I did, too.

As for the primary, that was great news. He has the experience and I've long been an admirer, so I was rooting for him, as well.
