In regards to the power outage some people are seeing, I saw it happening while in a half-sleep a few days ago. What I saw was someone attacking our grid and shutting the power down on election day to further complicate things. Im not convinced it will happen, but am sure that someone(Russia) is planning an attack.
@jeanne-mayell Makes me laugh that those coddled, out of touch dimwits are drawing attention to the ads that no one but New Yorkers (and not even that many of us) even knew about. If you can, read the Lincoln Project's lawyer's response to the threat of a lawsuit. Delicious. It's on Rick Wilson's twitter feed.
Also wonderful to see the HUGE voting lines in the NY Metro area. I tried to vote yesterday but decided to try later in the week. My partner is in line now, just outside the city, and the lines are huge. I'm hoping that's intensity for Biden. Voter participation in NY (Metro area) isn't that great, mostly, I think, because we're a blue state and folks may feel like our vote doesn't matter. This is the first presidential election where we even have early voting, and seeing the passion people are bringing to this election is just amazing.
Glad you're feeling what some of us started feeling a couple of days ago, Jeanne. Makes me feel hopeful that the tide really has turned. :) I'm still feeling optimistic.

Two words: Streisand Effect.
How could anyone watch the debate last night and somehow think that the orange carnival-barking toddler is saying anything that’s worth listening to? That he isn’t speaking utter gibberish sprinkled with jabs and attacks?
Unfortunately, I think a lot of his base care less about substance, dialogue, policy, or even truth, and are more concerned with "sticking it to the Left."
"The Left" and "the Dems" have become a boogeyman and an enemy to be feared or hated for the conservatives (especially the older, less educated, and more impressionable ones). "The Cons" (I think we should start using this term for conservatives, especially with this administration) have been selling this negative propaganda for decades. They've been promoting ideas that Democrats want to bring in socialism and communism, kill babies, rape children, take away their guns, worship Satan, etc.
So many in Trump's base are totally eating up his jabs and attacks on Democrats - substance or not.
@mas1581 Some of us have Hurricane Zeta blowing through with high winds and heavy rains and downed trees and power outages go along with that. It is hitting here Thursday... 4 days before the vote. The last days to early vote are Friday... I am sure Zeta will have an effect on us for that.
