9. I hear ya. Keep in your mind that this is a bigass country, and that the scenes

millions of eligible voters see do take time to sink in.

We know that's happening because the poll numbers across the board show that Americans are clearly not approving of this government.

Bringing the justice you demand in this bigass country, therefore, will take time, patience and hard work by those persons, firms, and orgs with standing in the federal courts. You know this.

Keep in mind the numbers of this bigass country. These numbers are what we base GOTV on.
Total actual voting age population in 2024 minus undocumented immigrants (12.5 mill est'd)
and minors ( 74,112,182 mill per https://data.unicef.org/how-many/how-many-children-under-18-are-there-in-the-us/#

= 259,454,702 (as of 11/04/24)

Total registered to vote in 2024
= 188,364,114 ( compared to 152,666,000 in 2020)
= 72.61% of total voting age pop. (compared to 62% in 2020)


That right there is a good thing.

Yes, vent. But then turn toward the work for 2026. We're ON it.

Almost all of this post is still highly relevant going into 2026:
