There is no doubt in my mind that Kamala and Tim WILL win this election. (NO DOUBT)

The problem i'm dealing with is, I feel we are at a Pence moment again. (with the Supreme Court) Will they, like pence decide to save our democracy? OR will they go the other direction? Time will tell.

5. I guess it's possible, but I can't imagine a court overturning an election that they lost by 10 million votes

But there’s no way I could ever sit this one out. Indifference only helps Trump.

Oh. And also: Liberal til I DIE, motherfuckers!

But don't be surprised if people come to piss on your excitement with "DON'T GET COMPLACENT! VOTE LIKE WE'RE 20 BEHIND!" shit...

8. I'm definitely more concerned about losing the election outright than anything the Supreme Court does.

And I'm not gonna tell you how to feel but I'll at least suggest that there is absolutely doubt in Harris winning this election. It's going up be a coin-flip.

But it's no slam dunk. I definitely feel less bullish than I did four years ago.

I'm seeing a strata of quiet enthusiasm within the electorate I haven't witnessed in a presidential election during my adult life.

I'm confident there are LEO's with egg on their faces from Jan 2020 who would love a shot at redeeming their inaction from that day, and are salivating for some idiot extremist group to jump the gun.

While I get the concerns people may have with the outcome, all things being equal, I'm expecting (and looking forward) a handy and obvious victory.

13. Same. But I keep it on the DL because of all the doomers and concern addicts.

Confidence is seen as a liability by many here and of course we are awash with trolls as well.
