I’m voting on Tuesday because I like the tradition of walking to my usual polling place to arrive at 6 a.m. and actually cast my vote in person on Election Day. Feeling positive that women (especially us old ones) will carry the day for Kamala and Tim. Once the results are tabulated nationwide, however, I am a bit nervous about the possible repercussions fomented by the loser. Frankly I find it inconceivable that the man could run again after his instigation of the January 6th insurrection.
I agree with you. I'm nervous about that part. I fear either way January 6th will look like childs play. I think women and in particular not white women/white women who are moms/aunts/grandparents to biracial/multiracial children might save us. I don't want to put that kind of pressure on them.
Fortunately for the Russians MAGA voters are the same people that believe a demon attacked Tucker Carlson in bed and middle school nurses are performing sex change operations.
I voted absentee a month ago. The last time I voted in person was a lesson on why not to vote in person. The early voting place was at the police station and the police had to get involved because of a fight between 2 idiots.
I will have to leave the country if orange wins in order to get health care, so I am nervous. I am also excited. I never thought the first female President would be biracial because Americans are so racist and sexist.
People are being told that The Democrats are bringing people in and either getting them to vote illegally so they can win or are illegally fast tracking their citizenship so they can win.
It’s so hard to talk to people who been fed this crap from their “reliable “ sources.
It’s all about The Democrats doing illegal and corrupt things to win.
I have long seen that maga candidate is doing the thing he accuses others of doing. This means he doesn’t have much bandwidth of his creativity. Still doesn’t get called out for it when he’s caught.
Very low information people have no idea how election vote counting works. They think anyone can dump a pile of ballots at counting centers or drop boxes, and with no vetting, they get counted! Only votes by legally registered voters get counted. There is no proof that "illegal" votes have ever decided an election. It is astounding how ignorant too many people are.
Thanks for this episode of It's Complicated! I enjoyed it as always.
I only missed this aspect:
What does Musk get out of his lottery? I don't think that this can be painted as helping Trump. If I was a citizen living in - say - Pennsylvania, I could vote Democrats and still register for that stupid lottery and hope for a warm rain of cash.
This is not about Trump, it's just about ridiculing the government. Pure fascism.
As always, enlightening. Unfortunately, not for the right people with your reasonable explanation passing through their minds without landing. Yes, I did already voted, and like most people, a little anxious about the drama being stirred up. The comment about Raffensburg calling Musk about the video leads me to start questioning why Musk bought Twitter and lost so much money in the process, combined with his frequent calls to Putin. Are they carving up the pie in their imaginations long before its been served? The stories about polls lacking credibility due to pollster's concerns of not being able to predict the outcome the last two times gives me some hope that Harris will deservedly win. That being said, as we all know here, we have lots of problems stirred up already with more to come from the Gremlin in the Kremlin. Keep aware, but minimize your exposure to the news to the facts to avoid overthinking and obsessing on things beyond your control.
I feel very comfortable that Kamala and Tim will win Tuesday's election. Just two weeks ago, I sat in on a polling presentation from one of our country's most renowned pollsters, who predicted that Trump would win all seven battleground states by several % points each. It was a numbing reality to consider. I think that the momentum has completely shifted back to the Harris/Walz ticket since then, thankfully. I am grateful to the women of our country, who I believe will lead us to keep our republic and win on Tuesday!
I have voted by mail in the last two p residential elections. Easy peasy! I was anxious, but Substack has helped me get past that…….yeah❣️❣️. In another matter, altho I am a paid subscriber, I am not getting ems telling me when Zoom events
being held, and just in negotiating the modules. Help, Please…….🙏
There's fraud going on. But it's on the trumplican side. A trumplican tried voting 2x...1x using the identity of their dead mother. The other stories have all been trumplicans being charged with fraud....ones not from Chicago.
We truly need critical media lessons in schools, and on social and news media platforms. See this CBS Sunday Morning segment about Finland's classes. The rabidly gullible won't care, but we as citizens should, because disinformation is rampant. A huge thank you to Substack writers who keep us informed with truth.

Voted by mail early. Very cautiously optimistic 💙
Ditto
I have voted early for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. And I'm cautiously optimistic 💙

The Russians should just use hand puppets in front of a sheet. Thats all the MAGAverse needs.

I voted early in-person on the first possible day here in Ohio and [REDACTED]

You’re right that video is disinformation. There clearly is absolutely zero voting fraud going on, anywhere. I totally trust the system.
