I have to continually tell myself to take a deep breath. I haven't had this much anxiety for any election. One day I believe Dems will win. The next day I believe the Repubs will win. November 5th--hubby and I will celebrate our 36th anniversary as the Dems win, or I will be crying in despair.

We all understand those feelings. Happy anniversary, and I truly hope it's a great one.

After the retro-Nazi Bundt meeting at MSG and the commentator who called Puerton Rico a floating pile of garbage, i wonder how many Florida Rican's wish they could have their early vote back.

A commentator finally nailed it; This is the Nazi pustch, not neo, or retro or adjacent or looks like or akin too....this is real time Brown Shirted Hitler loving NAZI'sm.

Some one please call my Jewish MAGA ongressional Candidate and ask him his thoughts.

Right. That goes for any Latino as well. What that man said about Latino's was disgusting.

Please start referring to his "rallies" for what they truly are: hate rallies.

I decided to go to my Dad's letters he wrote to his penpal, that later became his mother in law. His name was Billy Wesson. Dad was part of the 26th infantry, Division One. The guys that stormed Normandy Beach. They also had 2 years of battles leading up to that day. Most of those men and women are gone now. My hopes are those of us that new their stories and sacrifice will feel the urgency of this moment in time. Dad answered a question in one of his letters about how hard it must be. He said " yes it is very hard but someone has to do it, might as well be me."

I hope so, too, because what we're witnessing from the right is terrifying. We already beat fascism once, we have to beat it again.

no i wasn't ...point taken

without any scientific support what so ever...i always figured Haliely voters would go Kamala or not vote

and

like Ohio abortion referendum.....there is good reservoir of R women's who will crawl over broken glass to vote reproductive freedom

finally another % or 2-5 of R's who can't stand Trump , period

a 10pt advantage wouldn't surprise me........i am not expecting it...but wouldn't be surprised

it may be junk science ....or accurate....from DK..it would be easy to confirm

"Several polls out lately have asked people if they’ve already voted, and if they have, how they have voted. Here are the polls and the Harris-Trump percentages those early voters have said they voted.

ABC/Ipsos: Harris 62-33

CNN: Harris 61-36

NYT/Siena: Harris 58-40

HarrisX poll: Harris 61-32

USAToday/Suffolk: Harris 63-34"

okay u say...so D's early vote.........................not so fast gunslinger

this is breakdown of early voters

'According to TargetSmart the modeled partisanship of those who have voted so far is:

46.7% Democrat

43.9% Republican

9.3% Other/Independent"

"What this means is that a partisan split of approx. 47% Dem, 44% Rep, 9% Ind is voting approx. 61%-35% Harris-Trump."

if this hold true then its a landslide. Our own FWST say's R's outnumbered D's in early voting....

i would have thunk this would get better reported......but its something to add too ur anxiety as u await Nov. 6.

Were you following me in the 2022 election? I put a lot of reliance on TargetSmart and they turned out to be way wrong.

I wonder if FWST was using the same methodology as Ryan Data, which shows in Tarrant County that more Republican primary voters voted than Democratic primary voters. But, more than 30% of the voters have no primary history at all, so you can't tell.

More anxiety, lol, yay.
