(1,732 posts)51. I need to do something other than post here.
We have good discussions, but there is no impact from talking with each other. My thing is writing GOTV letters to likely voters in swing states. I usually get a list of voters from the Sierra Club or ACLU so they're mostly Democrats or uncommitted. I encourage everyone to get off the keyboard for a weekend and do something else. Register some voters. Go to a town hall. Knock on doors. Help your precinct leaders. Go to a candidate rally and yell your lungs out. Then come back here a d tell us how much fun it was. Thanks.

I think very much of 2016 was down to voter disenfranchisement and little prods and tweaks here and there.

PC, the only thing I worry a lot about is all the chicanery at the state level that can be pulled.

You are absolutely right. Battlegrounds are the bottom line. Right there is where our GE optimism must get real.

My optimism is based on Joe Biden's optimism. Not because I worship him or I'm in a cult but because I know the man

I hate the word "complacent" because of 2016. Number of voters wasn't that different from 2012

All I know is the day I receive my mail in ballot for President Biden I will drop it off in person the next day.
