I Am An Intuitive Person

[gab13by13]

I will text my daughter about something just before she is about to text me. I will text her just as her plane lands from a trip.

I can feel after a couple of plays that the Steelers are going to lose the game.

My intuition about tomorrow is that it will be a glorious day for democracy, I can feel it. My intuition is as good as polls, better than polls.

Pa. will lead the charge flipping a Magat Senate seat.

Honestly, I feel calm about tomorrow, I have a chance to go golfing today, the weather has even co-operated. I have a feeling I am going to play well.

My positive vibes about tomorrow are out there in the universe.

[Demsrule86]

1. Thanks for this. I too feel that tomorrow will be good.

[Scrivener7]

10. I watched you during the presidential primaries. You were unwavering. I was thinking

there was no way Joe could win, though I love the guy.

But you knew.

I am bolstered by your good feeling.

[claudette]

2. I hope you are right

Somehow today I don’t feel as worried
As I was yesterday 😊

[Bluethroughu]

3. We will the Universe together for a big blueTsunami!

[msfiddlestix]

4. ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ n/t

[Karadeniz]

5. I've been feeling it, too.....

[NJCher]

6. Other ways of knowing

I’m smiling because you had the courage to post about other ways of knowing.

DU is full of people who don’t understand anything but fealty to the scientific method or strict adherence to so-called logical standards. Example: when one expresses something like what you have, they will pipe up with “there is no evidence that…”

DU can be unfriendly to intuitive types.

On the other hand, speaking of logical explanations, I heard Michael Moore explain his reasoning for his position that there will be a blue wave. I was impressed, just from the standpoint of logic. If anyone has not heard or read it, it’s worth checking out.

[SheltieLover]

12. I couldn't agree more, Cher!

I'll trust my enteric nervous system any day over the liars' polls.

Let's all hold the vision of our huge Blue tsunami confidantly, as if it has already happened.

Ps - "Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack." Sagan

[Qutzupalotl]

50. Yes, and when you do, think of Democrats rejoicing

or maps turning blue, but don't visualize an actual tsunami. ;j

You already know this, but…

Mark 11:24 — Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

[SheltieLover]

51. Hahaha!

Important clarification!

[BonnieJW]

68. I saw him too.

He spoke about the vote in Kansas to keep abortion legal in that state. 538 said it would lose by 4 points and the measure won by 15 points. The polls are not producing accurate results anymore. When you think about it, there can't be that many stupid people in Georgia who would give Walker 47%.

[childfreebychoice]

72. DU can be unfriendly place to those of us who don't declare

Fealty to Israel, or illegal immigration, too, which is why I don't post here that often. That said, I have been nail biting about this election, but this morning, started feeling really great. Indigo child and intuit too

[childfreebychoice]

73. DU C's be unfriendly place to those of us who declare

Fealty to Israel, or illegal immigration, too, which is why I don't post here that often. That said, I have been nail biting about this election, but this morning, started feeling really great. Indigo child and intuit too

[whathehell]

79. What are "DU C"s"?

..just wondering.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

85. Same question.

[Chalco]

7. Thank you. nt

[Scrivener7]

8. I'm one of those people who, when I'm driving with someone, if I say, "I think it's

a right turn," the correct turn will be left. My loved ones know about this. I am unerring, so they just do the opposite of what I tell them and we don't get lost.

I have no sense of where this will go. And if I did, I would say the opposite.

I am so hopeful, and I'm glad that your better antennae have a good feeling.

[True Blue American]

57. I am the one in the family

That always knows which direction I am going in. But, on this election I have no idea.

Trump is about 6 miles from me now, but since I would not walk across the street so I will pass.

[Scrivener7]

58. I can glance at a map and be fine, but I have no sense of direction.

[True Blue American]

59. I was asked how I do that.

Simple, I just see which way the sun is. Then was asked, what if there is no sun?Just instinct, I guess. Even at night, I still know.t

[intrepidity]

77. Our brains have special cells for navigation

Cells called "place" and "grid" neurons. A relatively new and very exciting area of research.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_cell

[Trueblue Texan]

78. I have that issue too, nevertheless, I am quite intuitive. BTW...

...the kind of difficulty you describe with directions and orientation runs in my family. I think it has something to do with the way we process spatial information. You never want to take geographic directions from anyone in my family!

[True Blue American]

90. Now, I need to see a study

As to why I can remember all the words to songs I knew as a teenager, but can not remember the name of the person I met 5 minutes ago.

[malaise]

114. You too

Ha😀😀

[True Blue American]

125. I first discovered

The song bit on a AAA tour. They were singing old songs and the 2 women accross from me started remarking how I knew the words ro every song. I am still trying to remember the name of the lady I met yesterday.

[barbtries]

81. that's lacking a sense of direction

i too have no sense of direction; it's like a missing gene. Intuition whole other thing. I'm empathic just short of declaring myself an empath.

I'm still scared about tomorrow, but it's not fear that Democrats will lose - it's fear that republicans will refuse to acknowledge when we win. i see a CF coming down the pike. Jeez they're still pushing the big lie and will never stop.

[LuckyCharms]

9. Agree. n/t

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Election Day 2022 is about Americans' answer to January 6, 2021

And every election day will be the same going forward for quite a period of time.

[gab13by13]

13. Good way to look at it.

After Democrats win I make just watch me some Chuck Todd and the rest of the right wing cable news anchors, not Fox though.

[SheltieLover]

14. Absolutely!

Hold the vision!

[Katinfl]

15. Good to read that you are feeling so confident.

I have not allowed myself to get to that point yet for fear of the outcome. But I am feeling a bit more optimistic now. I refuse to listen or read about polls. Not sure how I will watch the results come in though…….usually MSNBC but can’t stand Kornacki so that’s out. Probably CNN or stay tuned on my iPad and be done with it.

[Sympthsical]

16. My "gut" sense has been right every major election

And that sense is really just something shaped by experience, knowledge, and discernible patterns of human behavior. (Seriously, people are not a mystery at all).

When Trump won in 2016, I was the guy thinking (but not saying) "Told you." When I told my friends 2020 would be frighteningly tight in the battlegrounds, they thought I was insane.

I really do not have any firm bold prediction sense of how tomorrow will go. The firmest intution I have is in a Republican House. My spidey sense says a close Democratic Senate.

I really do think we may see an election decided by the little things in the tightest of races. A storm here. A cold snap there. Little turn out factors could have outsized influence.

There is the tiniest voice in my head going, "Maybe Dobbs really is hidden in all this." But whether that is true or exists as a bit of copium running for things I wish to be true remains to be seen.

We'll see what we see.

[LeftInTX]

38. My "experience" in this election: Voters aren't excited

I'm having to bug them to vote. It's like the local election when you have to pull teeth to get people to vote.
I had a list of 450 voters. I block walked three days before early voting. I decided to take the first day of early voting off because I know a bunch of people will be knocked off the list on that day. Boy, was I mad when I synced my MiniVAN and only a few had voted on the first day of early voting! I spent Tuesday and Wednesday hauling my ass. Then, last week: still. I had to go bug 150 people. Usually this group votes early. I've got 30 people I'm gonna bug today. Some of the 450 just aren't gonna vote. It was worth the effort, but their voting histories aren't the best to begin with.

Voters can say one thing, but whether they vote not is another. I have people with Beto signs who have not voted.

[Sympthsical]

47. Do you think that's local to Texas?

Just my sense of things, but I never get the impression that regular people have the kind of wild enthusiasm about Beto that the online activist quarters do. Like, he just perpetually runs for things. That's it. What else has he really done in the past five years outside of promoting himself for office? Given Texas's general demeanor and that they've been living with attacks on reproductive choice for some years now (so, kind of inured to it), it sort of felt fatalist there over the past year.

You're there, that's why I'm asking. Just my perception from afar.

[LeftInTX]

49. This area is very Catholic and Hispanic. There are many pro-life Hispanic Democrats, so we will see

We also don't have a slate of state-wide candidates who have the experience that the GOP has. They never get far up enough to get the credentials/experience. Beto is our best choice.
Real politicians in Texas, don't want to give up their "real job" for political suicide, so here we are. In 2018, we had Lupe Valdez run for governor. The state party promoted her in the primaries. She was a lesbian, low energy, retired sheriff, who was kinda forgetful. (Often kinda zoned out) Beto is 1000% better.

[PA_jen]

116. Can I say that Pro-life doesn't always mean anti-choice.

I only say this as someone who grew up catholic (agnostic now) and I have friends and family who believe They personally could not have an abortion and they view themselves as pro-life in that regards but after Roe they are fired up to vote all democratic candidates. The idea of someone not allowing another person to make that choice has them really upset.

[DemocraticPatriot]

105. He's a Democrat running in Texas, for christ sake...

Beto is a goddamn hero!



Even if he can't win, his candidacies are "party-building"


Name a second Democrat in Texas....


I can't either.

[True Blue American]

91. Lord we hope you are right!:)

[Orrex]

17. I appreciate this positive feeling, but your Steelers vibe is a pretty safe bet in any case!

[gab13by13]

35. Yeah, a little humor helps.

[Orrex]

70. :thumbsup:

[Prairie_Seagull]

18. Not to brag, Ok to brag. I called the election of BO after his speach at the DNC.

Been intuitive (something science has not caught up with yet) all my longish life. I too believe it will be OK for us. Here is the brain kicking in. Maybe even better then ok.

[SheilaAnn]

19. I'm in Florida and kind of bummed out at Charlie Crist's numbers. Double digit below DeSantis and

Val Demmings below Rubio. Any insights into these two races? I really want both of them to win.

[Prairie_Seagull]

28. Youth is way underrepresented in all polls.

Personally I have not followed these races enough to have any sense. Best to say, fingers and toes crossed. GOTV
Sorry not much insight.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

22. I remember seeing a virtually unknown Jimmy Carter on a daytime news talk show

towards the very tail of the 1972 debacle (I was a 14 year old McGovern volunteer) and thinking, "that's our next president."

I always trusted my "political gut," until 2016. I thought it would be closer than most poolests did, but I did expect HRC would prevail.

Still have PTSD from that awful night.

[LeftInTX]

52. My head told me Hillary would win, yet I couldn't imagine her taking the Oath of Office

I stalled at the thought....Sadly election night proved that she would not be taking that oath...

Certainly, there were enough smart people in America, my head kept telling me...

Presidents and midterms are apples and oranges anyway.
Every race is a race. We don't have a charismatic person pulling anything. We have inflation. We have pro-life, Hispanic Democrats where I live. They were OK with "don't talk about abortion", but all of a sudden when they hear candidates say they support the "A" word, they are turned off.

[ShazzieB]

95. Oh, God, me, too!

I always trusted my "political gut," until 2016. I thought it would be closer than most poolests did, but I did expect HRC would prevail.

Still have PTSD from that awful night.

PTSD? Oh yeah, big time! I don't know if I will ever fully recover from that election. In a matter of hours, I went from excitedly looking forward to celebrating the election of America's first woman president to being devastated and terrified and wondering how I could have been SO wrong.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

96. I know for certain that I have not fully recovered from that night.

Same with my wife.

I'm sure it isn't much comfort to know you are not alone, but you are not alone.

Still sick over it.

[Bettie]

118. Comey made that happen

25+ years of marketing to get people to distrust her, deep inside their minds, then, Comey drops that right before the election, triggering that old learned response, added to Russian troll farm activity, plus the fucked up electoral college...well, we all know what happened.

We need to fix the EC and the most efficient way would be to replace the Permanent Apportionment Act with a new one, adding seats to the House and a rule to make sure that states with large populations would always be appropriately represented instead of losing seats because some state with a tiny population still grew fast for whatever reason. It would require some adjustment in terms of meeting and office spaces, but it would ensure that the popular vote and the EC vote were at least in the same ballpark as well as giving people better representation.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

120. He didn't help, but it was Susan Sarandon.

[Bettie]

121. Do you really believe that people take orders from

her?

She may have been part of it, but blaming one person for what was a series of things (Russian interference/troll farms, years of marketing to make people feel deep inside that she couldn't be trusted, for example), doesn't seem completely rational.

I know ONE D person who voted against Clinton and it was due to a personal interaction she had with her years before that tainted her view of her. I know NO one who votes because a celebrity told them what to believe.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

122. Expand the concept.

Russian interference/troll farms worked in a certain way.

It wasn't to get out the vote.

[Bettie]

123. And yet, I still fail to see how one

actress was 100% responsible for the EC going the wrong way.

Actually, the EC is the biggest problem we have. It makes vast swatches of uninhabited land worth more than densely populated areas.

Whatever. You believe what you do. I believe what I do.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

124. Now you are catching on.

It wasn't just her.

[Rebl2]

34. Are you

speaking of the speech in 2004? My husband watched his speech that night on tv and told me he thought he would be president one day. Guess he was right. I on the other hand while I really liked him, I thought this country was still to racist to elect him. Very happy I was wrong. I still miss him and his family.

[Prairie_Seagull]

40. Yes and I was in a roomfull of POC for a watch party and only one

to make similar proclamation. In fact nobody was even willing to harbor the thought.

[moonscape]

87. I'm white, not intuitive, but said the same as you.

[LeftInTX]

44. Yeah..Obama's once in a life time

Biden is slow and steady, no drama.
Hard to read the tea leaves 2 years later. (Biden isn't running, but mid-terms are often a referendum on the president) There is no Trump running right now. It's midterms. A bunch of governors are running. Each state is different. It's all about the state, not the guy at the top.

[Prairie_Seagull]

56. I miss him and his family.

First there will never be another BO but Lets hope for someone to come along that has the same passion for the people. Or that we live a really long time. ha

[True Blue American]

60. I know I came flying out of the Lazy Boy

When Ohio put Obama over the top! But Ohio has been straight downhill ever since!

[Prairie_Seagull]

65. I took a photo of my tv screen when they announced,

"Barack Obama Wins" Thinking about framing it for a long time.

[True Blue American]

75. Collectors item!

That guy could run again. 3/4th of the country would vote for him.

I see a bill has been presented to increase the Supreme Court by 4.

[renate]

107. the reason we still have our 15-year-old DVR box is that I recorded that night in 2008

Which is kind of stupid now that it's surely on YouTube. But that recording literally is the reason we didn't upgrade to a box with more storage or cut the cord and just go 100% streaming.

Yeah, I need to make a phone call to Ziply tomorrow, now that I think of it. But that night and that recording is why we haven't switched yet. It was just glorious.

[panader0]

127. I called my little kids in to watch and told them--That man will be POTUS someday.

I hadn't known about him until that powerful speech.

[DownriverDem]

20. So does

Michael Moore. He has been say that there is going to be a Blue Wave tomorrow for a few months. michaelmoore.com Fingers crossed.

[PWPippinesq]

21. As my former he-who-shall-not-be-named husband, liked to say

(paraphrasing) "From your lips to the gods' ears."

[Traildogbob]

23. I may have made a mistake

I got my Covid Booster AND flu shot at the VA while here for my annual physical this AM. They said I may feel rough tomorrow😱😱. Not sure I could take ANY GQP victories. So everybody VOTE. Please help this VET out here right before Vet Day. Let’s bring it home. Save the damn country. Your turn to serve!!!!!

[orangecrush]

24. Vote

The vibe!

[mnhtnbb]

25. I posted my vibe--belief--on another thread

I am going to believe that women will not go gently

back into the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant and without the authority to make decisions about their own health.

I am going to believe that women have not "gotten over" Dobbs.

I am going to believe that people have figured out what Republicans are up to and realize that they can't be trusted.

I am going to believe that we on DU will be happy with the results of this election.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=17327162

[KS Toronado]

42. Women and men that care about them

will be the driving force behind the BIG BLUE WAVE that's coming tomorrow. My hat is off for them.

[peggysue2]

26. My vibes are joining your vibes

I think we're going to do much better than the prognosticators, pundits and pollsters have predicted. Our early margins are awesome which speaks to the hard work Democratic organizers and grass root activists have being doing all year long.

Btw, Ralston said Cortez Mastro will likely win her race in Nevada bc of the EV firewall Dems have managed to build in NV. We'll probably lose the Governor's seat and one House seat, according to Ralston but we're going to take the Senate seat.

Yayyyyyy!

[reACTIONary]

27. I don't want to be accused of...

... insider trading, but could you give me any stock market tips?

[grantcart]

74. I would like to know what she smokes

Kidding

😁

[barbtries]

29. so here's a little story.

I have one lifelong friend left alive and she is a racist closed-minded bigot, so we don't talk much. But neither of us can entirely cut the other off because we love each other. Her daughter is also "conservative" (a word I think is a misnomer applied to the republicans of the 21st century, but that's a different discussion), but we're still fb friends. I mean I drove her mother to the hospital on the day she was born.

So anyhow. On 1/6 we had a conversation on fb and she was defending the "protest" which was by that moment becoming a full fledged riot and she commented that at least they weren't violent. She lives in Portland and believes that BLM protests were fueled by Antifa terrorists or some shit. Anyway I responded that a woman had been killed (I'd just witnessed Ashli Babbitt's last moments on PBS). She deleted her comment and said no more.

Fast forward to a couple days ago. This woman has 2 daughters of childbearing age. She posted that meme about "Don't forget to turn the clock back one hour on Sunday, and don't forget to vote on Tuesday to keep the clock from being turned back a century."

I read that as an admonishment to vote BLUE. I didn't react to her post at all, it's that dicey that I would not want to inspire her to delete it or somehow try to turn it into a message to vote trumpian, but what do you think? Is it possible that her daughters' well-being means more to her than being republican?!

i sure as hell hope that's what it means, and i'm just saying if so, she is not the only one. I can see thousands or possibly even millions of people voting for abortion rights in this election. I think it is possible that the republicans screwed themselves by rescinding Roe.

Women are people. We love who we love. That should absolutely matter more than clinging to a repressive and hateful ideology.

[Native]

43. If Roe wasn't enough, their vocalized plans to get a national abortion ban through should be.

At this point, one can't think that there is anyone left alive now who is so politically ignorant of this that they would vote without a clue.

[LeftInTX]

46. I have Democrats who are responding the opposite

Abortion wasn't on their mind, until this. Now they see Democrats as "pro-abortion" versus "women and her doctor".

[Native]

48. Jeebus

[Wibly]

98. Man, why do you live there?

Your response to every positive post about the Democrats or voter turn out is to throw cold water on it then tell us some tale about local Texans not being on it.
I find myself wondering why you would bother to live is such a place with such pathetically lethargic people, who really do not sound to me like any of the Texans I’ve ever known.
There are a lot of strange folks in Texas, but apathetic and not strongly opinionated are not their strong suits. I’m wondering if it is Texans you are talking to, or maybe fictional Texas characters, albeit most of them sounding character-less.
Several folks have asked if it might be just where you are in Texas, but I wonder if you’re in Texas at all. Sure doesn’t sound like any Texas I ever knew.

[LeftInTX]

102. I live in San Antonio, Texas

I'm stuck here.

Sorry, I do not have the $$$$ to leave

We will soon have election results.
I predict, we will keep Henry Cuellar. Everything else will stay the same, except the Rio Grande Valley is a toss up.
Abbott will still be our governor and all the other creeps will be around.

If you know Texas so well, why hasn't this state had a Democrat in a statewide office in almost 30 years????

Many Texans are apathetic. Many are poor. Just saw three people tonight who thought they could vote tonight. (We were putting up campaign signs at the polling site) They said, "Can we vote now?" One man said he drove 3 miles to vote. Early Voting ended on Friday, November 4th. That's the way it is. We told him to come back tomorrow. He said, "I don't think I will be able to find my way back".

[barbtries]

80. that's what I'm thinking.

I think my greatest fear is that republicans will successfully suppress the vote, more than that they'll win it. For years here in NC, the legislature does not represent the will of the people due to their hijinks.

i hate republicans.

[jaxexpat]

30. I think the close of polling stations tomorrow PM.......

will be the commencement of a most absurd exercise in news/entertainment. I speak of the argument for the proposition that no-one can determine the will of the voters by counting their votes. Depending on the source or the time of day, the contradictions and abandonment of truth and logic will exceed any event since Jeff Davis' read his famous "Mein Kamp" to Lee's army before the battle of Appomattox Courthouse, in Greek!

[CaptainTruth]

31. I hope you're right!!!

[Septua]

100. ..and I.

[rubbersole]

32. Head down, eye on the back of the ball.

Left arm straight. Smooth it.

[gab13by13]

39. Smooth it is the key

loose grip pressure at address and on the downswing, almost being like spaghetti, without too many moving parts.
I still play from the back tees at 75, hitting it long isn't my problem.

Golf is a game of aggressive serenity.

[rubbersole]

53. Good for you!

I just moved up to the senior tees. At 70 and starting to have flexibility issues. On courses I've played forever, it is a brand new game from up there. Hitting a 9 iron approach instead of a 4 iron. Should have faked my "long form birth certificate from Kenya " a long time ago!

[gab13by13]

63. Funny,

I will one day need a new knee, it would be the left one. Yes, hitting metal woods into par 4's makes it difficult but I play with an 89 year old, who is very good, consistently shoots his age, and so our matches are closer this way. I have no remorse in saying he beats me once in a while. Plus he told me that he didn't move up to the senior tees until he was 76.

I needed to be born 1 day later to play an extra year of Little League baseball, I did make the All Star team though. My dad was the home run king in his city for fast pitch softball. I think he could have made the majors if they had as many teams back then, plus he spent time in the Big One following Patton around Europe.

[rubbersole]

71. Getting 20-30 yards on the par 3s was the big bonus.

Saved my ass(wallet) in the 19th hole!

[Prairie_Seagull]

126. Zen and the art of golf. I get to pissed when I miss a shot I know I can make.

Just breathe. haha

[PatrickforB]

33. Let us all hope you are right! n/t

[kimbutgar]

36. I feel like we are going to win more senate seats than we expected

Ones that are not on the radar.

[iluvtennis]

37. Love your post. Have sent my positive vibes up as well.

[elleng]

41. :grouphug:

[peppertree]

45. From your keyboard to God's ears!

Any hunches about yours truly? Thanks in advance.

[Joinfortmill]

54. A blue wave is about to rain down on the GOP

[PortTack]

55. I feel pretty calm about tomorrow. I know we are going to keep the senate. The house, I don't

Know. I haven’t had any big intuitive feelings about it, so I just remain calm.

[yellerpup]

61. I feel sure as well although Oklahoma is a magat haven.

However, I did get the chance for the first time in my life to vote for a woman at the top of the ticket and all the way down the line. I have their signs in my yard and voted for every one of them: Governor, Lt. Gov., Secretary of State, (Two Senators), Congresswoman, State Senator, Corp. Commission, and they were all excellent candidates whom I have met. Dems will win the governorship and we are hoping the women will turn out to turn out all the fascists and install women who care about what happens to women and girls in this state.. I have never been more excited to vote and I have never dared to dream that this could be accomplished in Oklahoma.

[Rabrrrrrr]

62. and as fewer and fewer people answer their phones, the percentage of conservatives goes up

in the polls, is my thinking.

I think the polling has been skewing GOP/conservative Asshole for last ten years as fewer and fewer people answer their phones or take polls, and those that do are mostly of the conservative/older demographic.

I have a very good feeling about tomorrow, too.

I think there are a lot more people terrified of fascism than the pollsters and the news let us know about (or are finding) than there are people who want Republicans.

And there might be a lot of Republican women who are telling their friends and family they'll be voting Republican but who are pissed off about men trying to regulate their bodies they'll secretly vote democratic, and never admit it.

[Probatim]

64. From this post to Dog's ears.

I have significant concerns for the state of Pennsylvania and it's nutjob voters - not just that they vote for fascists/nazis, but what they might do if Shapiro and Fetterman win their respective elections.

There is a lot of anger in this state. It's even bubbling over in my reactions to yard signs for anti-democracy politicians. I'm worried I'm going to get carpal tunnel from flipping off homeowners on my commute.

It's just a lot knowing there is a large group of people who hate filthy libruls like me/us.

[Island Blue]

66. I hope that you're right!

I’m not feeling good about NC, so I’d like to apologize in advance if we elect another right-wing white tool. There is a Green Party candidate on the ballot for US Senate , and a Libertarian. Apparently the GP candidate is polling around 4% and the Libertarian at 1%, so that 3% difference could wreck Cheri Beasley’s chance of winning. 🤬

[BradAllison]

67. The only hope I take is Republicans are liars

Lying to themselves included.

[usonian]

69. Let them believe their own lies about space lasers and the vote being rigged.

[Trueblue Texan]

76. I'm also very intuitive...

...Lord knows I've predicted tons of stuff in politics that has happened in the last 20 years. Sadly none of this attack on democracy surprises me in the least. But I also agree the Rethugs are in for a big, BIG surprise tomorrow and it's not one they're going to like.

82. Millions of women voted Republican for years

Believing roe v Wade was settled law and therefore they didn't have to worry. That changed three months ago and I believe millions of women have been sitting silent, not making hay with friends and family, and will go to the polls and vote out every Republican in office and against everyone running for one.

97. Speaking of women being silent. . .

. . . I read somewhere recently that a woman's "first blood" doesn't happen with her period; it happens when she bites her tongue.

We've been told to "keep silent" or "just sit there and look pretty" for a looong time. Older women are realizing that they don't have that much to lose, so they are speaking up. Younger women haven't internalized all those oppressive patriarchal voices and they speaking out and walking out on men who are not worthy of them and institutions that don't value their voices.

It's a beautiful, workaday, grassroots rebellion and I love it!

I don't claim to know what will happen with this election and I am an avowed rational empiricist. But I have a certain amount of faith in the young people coming up today. Are some of them flaky and shallow and addicted to their screens? Yeah. But so many of them are savvy and curious and aware that their futures are not safe in the hands of climate change deniers and politicians who are only interested in maintaining the status quo.

For their sake, much more than for mine, I hope that tomorrow's elections moves the needle toward progress. History may repeat and/or rhyme but it never really goes backwards. We can lose ground and lose certain rights, but change drags everyone forward one way or another. People with flexible minds who are willing to embrace change and work with reality are the ones who will save our species. Those who act from fear or resentment against change can only hold us back--they sure as hell can't "make us great" again.

83. Check out Jeanne Mayell's website. It's a group just like yourself.

They feel the exact same way.

I have been practicing “aggressive disinterest” in the for-profit news shows. 🥳😌

[Dorian Gray]

86. Hopefully we can revisit this thread

on wednesday and have something to celebrate.

Good luck!

[Sogo]

88. Love it!

[onetexan]

89. Thank you for posting much needed optimism. PINK WAVE!!

[Stuart G]

92. You are not alone!

[BigmanPigman]

93. Same here!

I experience a lot of coincidences or synchronicity but not as much as you. I got that same "feeling" that you got...my gut instincts say Dems will be victorious. I am trying not to think about it since that may jinx it. My family is too practical to believe in anything remotely connected to the metaphysical but my friends acknowledge that I have a special gift

[SilverDawg]

94. Thank you for that!

[TigressDem]

99. Good. I will borrow your good feelings, mine have been fearful.

My fear is that even if we win, the creeps will crawl out of the woodwork and try to destroy everything anyway.

I hate bullies and that means I will have to fight.

I hate to fight. I am a peaceful person.


SO I will borrow your good feelings and hope for the best as I do my part at the voting booth.

101. I really hope so, but...

I have a feeling that Joe's going to need to get his veto pen warmed up.

103. In my family, we always look to my nephew for guidance on elections

He is super smart and has great intuition. I don't think he's ever been wrong.

About 10 years ago, my sister (his mother) screwed up her ballot and she didn't know if her vote was counted.

When she asked him about how he thought tomorrow's election would go, he said, "Let me put it this way. Don't screw up your ballot this time."

[DemocraticPatriot]

104. I pray that you are right.

I have been recently beaten down by the MSM "conventional wisdom", and have spent too much time reading and viewing the MSM all through this cycle... and that depressed me for a while

but I will say this--- looking at the actual early voting data, I don't see any "red wave" coming here--

if the polls are actually accurate, it would seem to be a very close slugfest--

but my best hope is that newly registered women, who won't be included in polls of "likely voters", will carry the day... and shame the pundits!!!


Crossing my fingers and toes... and my votes are already in the bank!

[Abolishinist]

106. As an aside,

could you give me five numbers between 1 and 69, and a sixth between 1 and 26?

Thanks! (and yeah, keep spreading those positive vibes!)

[samplegirl]

108. I hope your right

I can’t sleep thinking about it.

[Lucinda]

109. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[CentralMass]

110. I hope that your intuition is right. I'm keeping my feet on the ground.

I"d rather keep my expectations low.

[akbacchus_BC]

111. Finally a positive post, thank goodness. I also share your enthusiasm from across the pond.

I keep saying this is not a normal year for the mid-terms, Dems will win a majority in the House and Senate. Too many Americans despise what mcchickenshit (thanks to a fellow DUer). Cannot wait for the results tomorrow night, Fingers and toes crossed that Dems will kick the rethugs into the minority. Vote and get the vote out, democracy is on the ballot. Good luck my friends.

112. I can't be optimistic.

[akbacchus_BC]

113. Please try, I dont want to ever see another 2016. I know we can only hope that decency will prevail.

[betsuni]

115. But Americans! My stomach hurts when I think of what could happen.

[akbacchus_BC]

117. Don't despair, let's be positive. We all want this mid-term elections

to be different as opposed to the status quo! This time it is different, I cannot imagine that decent republicans would agree the Jan. 6 was not planned by trump and his gangs. If that is not treason, then I don't know what to say.

119. I would gladly sacrifice an entire Steelers season for Dem majorities in Congress

Being in Detroit, I should have offered to sacrifice a Lions season, but that would be redundant.

Enjoy your golf today.
