(10,857 posts)25. Keep calm and GOTV.
I realize that this is one of the most imperative presidential elections in our lifetime (I'm not saying that 2020 or 2016 wasn't imperative). The only poll that matters is voting on election day, so encourage and drive people to the polling location if they need it.
There have been multiple of these type of threads the last few days and it's encouraging to read and watch, there's more than what I listed as well. Always take a break if headlines gets too be too much of an overload. Take good care of yourself.

Stop watching the political news. If you are up to it volunteer for call banking.

It's hard to calm fears when the country's future is being decided by a coin toss.

Yes, the uncertainty is so stressful! And knowing some Americans know about DT, Jan 6, Project 2025 but support him!?!

It's definitely a puzzle how anyone can support him. Guess that's what cults are all about, making the crazy seem

She's still leading in the polls. She has more money and more organized ground game.

Maybe you need to step back from politics for at least a few days and relax.
