yet, if I hear one more word of praise about how JDV showed up and the civility on the debate stage...JD has long shown up well, beyond how he's shown up since he became the Republican nominee for VP. Last night doesn't change any of his stands. He's still against women, LGBTQ+ immigrants, and long-held democratic principles (to name just a few). I was watching his facial expressions shift last night once Tim Walz started on a tear about healthcare, women's freedom housing and our democracy. He was cringing because he knew the veneer wore off (at least to my view). Putting him in arms length of the White House when we wrapped his arms around Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation is a real threat to what America is supposed to stand for. I wish the New York Times, Washington Post or Wall Street Journal had the courage to write this.
I’ve never felt as worried and stressed about a presidential election as I am about this one. I’m in my 70th year and I’ve seen some s**t. I’m not the only one, of course. Collective anxiety is at a nuclear level that, with the exception of the Bay of Pigs, has never been matched. These thoughts are far from original, but it’s somewhat comforting, though short lived, to express it in a safe place. That is all……….
Thank you. This helps me understand why I felt almost physically ill while watching the debate.
I heartily encourage your readers to TALK WITH VOTERS between now and Nov 5th. Research shows that phonecalls and door-knocking, strategically focused on winnable races, are the most effective things we can do. Find your local group, or check out Indivisible or https://swingleftsf.com/
