On a leap of faith, Simon, I just donated another $100 to ActBlue/HarrisVictoryFund. I was inspired by three things: 1. Your vlog; 2. Vice President Harris's moving speech at Washington Crossing, PA today; and 3. Her courageous interview on Fox News. I'm retired. To help me contribute to Harris, I'm delivering food for DoorDash. So far, I've donated $2,213 to the Harris for Victory Fund and a lesser amount to certain down-ballot candidates. I voted for Vice President Harris and Governor Walz in Missoula, MT this past Monday.

im in stillwater oklahoma. oklahoma is buckle of the bible belt. in my town i saw trump bullshit everywhere in 2016. in 2020 college dudes were riding around flying flags from the back of pickup trucks on election night. im not seeing any enthusiasm for trump just a lot of glum. right here down in intense trump country, the enthusiasm just isn't there. no state went harder (per capita) for trump in 2020 except for like, idk, west virginia or north dakota. the local paper publishes disgusting caricatures of kamala harris and disingenuous political cartoons from known partisan assholes. that's the best they got. no bumper stickers, no signs. no flags. the assholes are gonna stay home this year. run through the tape.
