I know we have only 88? days left til election, but I predict/hope dispirited democrats start hearing the blaring message from Harris/Walz.
We Love Our Country 🇺🇸
Show it.
@Anouk Amen! Years ago, I met General Wesley Clark when he was considering a run for the White House. He asked me what I thought Democrats should be doing differently, and I replied that we should show our patriotism proudly and not let Republicans “own” the flag. I fly my flag proudly; it was a gift from my mother who came to America from Nazi Germany. She became a naturalized citizen and a passionate campaigner and voter.
I’m proud of you. But I’m not there yet.
@LnzyHou @cassandra17lina @Anouk
Agreed, Mikster brought up putting up a flagpole in the yard as part of our landscaping changes...
It set me aback just thinking about flying the US flag.
@Madken65 @cassandra17lina @Anouk
Back in the 80’s my dad & husband built a tall flag pole in his backyard. Both were vets & honored the flag deeply. My dad raised it every single day.
I wonder how they’d feel now.
@cassandra17lina @Madken65 @Anouk
For the last decade, WE have allowed the GQP to ravage the White House, the Capitol, the Constitution, the laws of the land and the Supreme Court.
Forgive me for holding my breath waiting for US to recapture America.
@LnzyHou @Madken65 @Anouk I’m not going to blame the American people for the criminal gerrymandering and voter suppression and disinformation that the GOP needed to get in place to stay in power. Eliminate the electoral college and institute ranked choice voting. THEN see what’s reality the will of the people.
@LnzyHou @Madken65 @Anouk That’s why I’ve been volunteering with my county Democratic Party to get out the vote! We have populated EVERY position on the ballot with Dems; no excuse for apathy due to Republican incumbents running unopposed. We’ve run 150 letters to the editor this year and last year; we’re running candidate events, we’re all over social media, we’re doing outreach to people of color and young voters. Maybe all this is why I am optimistic about this election. We shall see.

We once considered Western NC in our retirement plans, but chose Utah.
We thought Mormon conservatives were more palatable than Happy Appy Ones.
@Madken65 @cassandra17lina @Anouk
Western NC has helped me not miss my beloved Colorado so much. The weather there has become too extreme for me.
My next stop is the NE near my son.
@cassandra17lina @Madken65 @Anouk
I’m optimistic too. If Dems actually show up & vote. No GQP election shenanigans can offset an avalanche of votes.
