This midterm election has me scared.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

So many nutters won the primaries this time around. So many unqualified people are in good positions according to the polls to win.

This doesn't hold well for our democracy. Freedoms are going to disappear even faster than they have been if these nutters get in. Why can't more people see that?

And I don't even want to mention what is going to happen to the safety nets for the poor and elderly.

Mexico and Canada might want to think hard about building walls because if these nutters do get in, people will be doing a mass exit. People can not live in the kind of country these nutters want.

1. I Hope I Can Make It Out Of America Before Things Completely Collapse nt

[Lady Freedom Returns]

5. I was worried when trump won, really worried.

But Biden won and I thought we would be in the clear of this foolishness. But I was wrong.

Sad to say that many of our fellow citizens are happy to give everything we got to live in a dictatorship.

[NoRethugFriends]

2. No postive words from me.

[Kaleva]

3. Climate change will take care of a lot of this.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

10. That's making things worse.

Way to many of the far right deny it still. Majority of them think what deity they worship will save them.

These folks are going to be the end of the world.

[Kaleva]

18. To me, it looks like many here don't take it seriously

They are more concerned about the here and now and not about the approaching global catastrophe.

4. My advice

is turn off cable tv til the election is over. I had to it was driving me nuts! Glad I have netflix.

[Deuxcents]

8. I agree. The talking heads are exploding

So I turned it off to save my blood pressure! I’m just hoping we defy history n this midterm election shows em all up.

[634-5789]

7. You have to have faith. .

We've been here before, 2016---2018---2020---and now. The younger generations have had all the shit they can handle and there's great news on the horizon.

They're fed up with the insanity that was wrought on us by Tubby McTraitor and the Qult that worships him. People move on, but even this morning...a new record of per-election day votes broke another record yesterday, 13+ MILLION votes were cast.

I'm not giving up until I can no longer breathe, and you should not either. We're in this to the end, or the end comes for us! You can either sit it out, or you can get involved.

Count me in on the 'get involved' side!

[LymphocyteLover]

9. It is scary, and that should help motivate you...but ultimately there are still more of us than them

and we are not going away.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

12. Do what?

All I can do is vote.
And that is getting harder every election cycle. These strange new Republicans are going to make it even harder if elected.

Here in Pima county we haven't seen the poll watching that is going on in other counties here in Arizona. But they are scaring many away from voting in those countries.

[Emile]

11. The results of past midterm elections should have us worried!

Democrats need to get off their asses and vote or democracy could very well be gone forever. I'm trying to get all my family members and anyone who will listen to get out and vote.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

15. With MAGA nutters running around the way they are....

They are scared to go vote. And mailing your ballot is iffy because you don't know if it might be intercepted.

Here in Arizona we are being told it is better to put it in one of the ballot drop boxes or take it to the polling place on election day.

But then you still have to make sure you don't have anything like democratic bumper stickers on your car because of the MAGAs.

They are out taking pictures of cars and licenses plates. And they are carrying guns around. It's getting scary. It reminds me of stuff you see in places like the middle east.

[Emile]

20. What gets me is what they are doing is against federal election laws. Where is the DOJ

and why are they not arrested?

[Marius25]

24. Remember, tons of the FBI and DoJ are sympathetic to right-wing terrorists

[Emile]

29. Republicans are campaigning the Dems are weak on enforcing crime.

Egads.

[liberal N proud]

13. More than I was in 2016

And I had just lost my job of 34 years days before the election

[ColinC]

14. The more scared you are, the more doors you should knock

(if you can)

[Lady Freedom Returns]

16. And get shot?

That is now pretty dangerous.

[Wednesdays]

19. Say what??

Show me links to news stories about how many canvassers have been shot!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

23. There are MAGAs out there that look at Democrats as nazi's.

Many are vocal about shotting anyone coming to their door talking about a democratic candidate.

They are vocal about it. You hear them at grocery stores, doctors offices, gas stations, all over the place. Kinda the reason why very few are doing the door thing around Arizona.

Your in a good place if you haven't heard this talk.

[Wednesdays]

25. So, no proof then?

Just anecdotes about what you think people are saying at gas stations, etc.?

[Lady Freedom Returns]

26. Don't know about your area of the United States.

But here in Arizona that is enough to keep people from wanting docking on doors.

That's why JW and Mormons take their kids. It makes it where they will just get threatened with guns and not actually shot.

[Wednesdays]

27. Stay home, then.

The rest of us will not be afraid to get out the vote, come what may.

[ColinC]

21. No. GOTV is targeted to Democrats

You will not be knocking doors of crazy trump supporters.

Our not knocking on doors cost us a lot of seats (including Maine) in the 2020 election. We cannot let that happen ever again.

[Elessar Zappa]

22. C'mon.

They’re the cowards, not us.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

28. With the firepower some of these nutters have?

It's been on display at many a ballot drop box around the state.

And it will definitely be around the polls on Election day.
Governor Ducey isn't really doing anything to help with it.

[Wednesdays]

17. Think you're scared? Think we're behind?

Then we all must work TWICE as hard!

30. You think they would...

Honor the borders of their neighbors at that point? They would pull a pooptin and just invade.
