My husband and I were sign up for mail in ballots when we got our driver's license in Maricopa County Arizona when we moved there in August. We got our ballot thru the mail on October 8, filled them out and dropped them in the drop box the next day. We got confirmation that they received our ballots and our signatures were verified 2 days later. Then we got confirmation that our ballots were counted. Easy peasy but of course we have a democratic secretary of state. My son was telling me of all the states where the numbers are off the chart for early voting. WE CAN DO THIS.
It feels like such a complex algebraic equation to live in hope (but not too much), while also living with fear (but not too much), while remaining in the fight (but not so much we wear ourselves out), but staying informed (while avoiding burnout), and on and on and on...
People are in a state of high anxiety & apprehension.....the next days will be full of hate, vile and lies from the Repugnants and their followers. We the People need to take encouragement that record numbers of people have stepped forward to vote, many for the first time. The concern is that the tactics of tRump and others to incite polling location suppression, intimidation & violence is real. The Repugnants have instigated multiple legal challenges to suppress the vote count. We can only hope that the vote for Biden is overwhelming and humiliating to tRump and his cult. The months between the election night and inauguration, will be full of negativity, outrageous administration actions, bizarre & harmful executive orders, and over the top tRump tantrums. How we can deal with this period , I don’t know? I think that we may have to resort to multiple protests to counter the tRump and his administration vengeance and spiteful actions.
My political grassroots group has a "War Room" prepared for the Red Mirage when Trump tries to declare victory and steal the election. We need to scream COUNT EVERY VOTE and shame anyone who would try to nullify votes unjustly. SHAME
Michaelangelo! I too wish I could be comatose until the election is over.....
the anxiety is overwhelming to say the least. I have been a long time listener to your show and you are a lifeline during these trying times. Good luck today trying to vote!
I'm in Illinois and voted Tuesday. Waited about 45 minutes so not to bad. Also in a state that is pretty comfortably blue, however you wouldn't think so by all these trumper fb friends I have. How did ever have anything in common with these people I went to HS with?? Anyway as I read Daya's post here .. I'm feeling the same. Cautiously optimistic but so very nervous. 10 days .. final stretch but how long before the votes are counted and then ... what will trump pull between then and inauguration day if things don't go his way. I know, let's get the win first !!!
I am hopeful and prayerful that Biden will win. It’s the militia activity that frightens me and all the enraged white racists. I wish FOX would pay a price for the hate, demonizing and misinformation they have enabled and normalized! They have been an enemy of the state.
I also hope Trump is dumb enough to fire Bar, think he will flip on Trump?
How ya all feel about Micheal Cohen? I’m enjoying the hell
It's sweaty palms time! So nervous, I can not stand another 4 years of trump. It's all up to how productive his cheating is...otherwise we are the MAJORITY VOTE!
I live in SF, Cali and I literally just watched a Trump campaign commercial on the local ABC channel where they obviously and amateurly edited Biden saying he’s going to raise taxes on small businesses and the middle class. The desperation is apparent. I’ve also been seeing Biden signs on cars, trucks and lawns everywhere and yesterday, as I drove through SF to go to a local bakery, I saw an older, white man standing near an intersection carrying a Biden/Harris sign and on the back side it said “Dump Trump” and of course we all honked in approval. Things look good and I have hope. #fucktrump
I live in New Mexico but get El Paso tv and there have been no Trump commercials. I think maybe he thinks El Paso is too blue. Also he still owes them money from a rally he did there in 2017.
Glad to be able to check in This Sunday morning and read the posts from our Signorile “family”. Been dealing with a very sick cat all weekend. I have learned in 2020 just have to put one foot in front of the other. The best way 2020 can redeem itself is to give us a complete Democratic government.
I have been working all year with fierce determination, first for my chosen primary candidate, then for down ballot candidates nationwide. Talking to voters makes me far more hopeful than the both-sides-ism media drama. Since Labor Day and especially after RBG died, we have been inundated with volunteers and absolutely crushing the text banks. But the last few days, I have been frozen and numb. I think I'm just tired and want it to be all over with. I work with a terrific group of political grassroots people called Building Bridges for America, and their friendship has become a sanity saver for me. We Zoom together while we work, postcards, letters, text banking, etc., and we have trivia contests, movie night, music night, book club, etc. I got a good night's sleep last night and am back on my game....texted for Mondaire Jones this morning, Amy McGrath this afternoon, and it's all GOTV and absentee ballot chase and they are all identified supporters so the conversations are pleasant. We have extremely motivated voters. We are going to win this. I'm leaving it all on the field, no regrets. We must win or my head will explode.
Liz, first off -- thanks for all the massive work! You have really made a difference and we'd be nowhere without this grass roots work. You are totally entitled to feeling numb right now. It's understandable. I think we all are realizing the stakes. But take a deep breath, a short break, and realize that the work is paying off. It's better we have a little anxiety than be overconfident. thanks again!
I'm feeling good. I'm not one bit afraid of Donald Trump. He's a full blown narcissist who is going to go down. And the signs are good. One, Biden's not Hillary. Two, they're expecting 20 million more votes cast. How many of them are Trump supporters? I doubt many. The country is sick to death of him.
Yes bullies are notorious cowards when confronted, never understood why the Repugnants legislatures have never confronted tRump, but I guess they have a similar agenda to their Idiot-In-Chief. Of course, a few are now jumping ship for their own political salvation , certainly not for the sake of the democracy of this nation.
Just got back from voting, yay! About two hours from when I get on the line.
You should have taken a selfie for us!
That's awesome! It took us 1 1/2 hours last Saturday here in Las Cruces. It's been faster during the week.

Doesn’t it feel good?

I picked the wrong year to stop sniffing glue.
Very well put Daya.

I'm glad you gamed it out Liz. Very smart.
Go...Girl....Go.... it will definitely be the women of this nation that will bring back order, democracy and unity.
So far, so good. You're right though, as he becomes more desperate there is no telling what he'll do.
Michaelangelo! I too wish I could be comatose until the election is over.....

Thanks --- glad we all can connect here and on the show. And I feel great after having voted.
You go Micaelangelo and rock the vote. We need everyone to vote for our future!

North Carolina -- the fireworks will go off, here.

Out of his Podcast
Wow I had not listened but will check it out.
It is so stressful. I am beside myself. Still traumatized over 2016 and the last 4 years.
I have zero trust even though I try to remain hopeful.
If he manages to weasel his way in again, I cannot stay in the US.
We have each other to get through this next couple of weeks. We all have election PTSD.
I relate.
Those of us who were Hillary supporters were traumatized by her loss and still have a block on winning. I hope this election will eradicate that!
I could not vote for Trump if I agreed with every one of his policies, he's poison. I'll never understand why people can't see he's a con artist.
It's sweaty palms time! So nervous, I can not stand another 4 years of trump. It's all up to how productive his cheating is...otherwise we are the MAJORITY VOTE!
Yeah, it's the cheating and why we have to win big. This country is really broken when that's the reality. But I feel people are energized.

Other than online television, I only listen to SIrius radio (MSNBC and Progress) so I hear no Trump ads!
@Vanessa C. Lol 😂.
I don't see why the Trump campaign even spends money in SF as they likely have a very small base like Seattle although Eastern WA is very Republican.

God bless you for voting!!!!
Let's vote people, nine (9) days and counting!!!!
By the way, I watched Borat and he's a Genius. I was laughing my ass off about his pranks on the cult-followers, lol!
