I wanted to make a serious post to convey my deep thanks for people getting out to vote against Trump and for Harris. For me and my wife, and many other posters in this thread, the election is about far more than just political theater. It’s about serious impacts to people’s lives. For us, cancer and other health issues hit our family and led to me retiring early. While we are fine financially and are currently on my wife’s healthcare, she will have to also drop work soon due to health reasons. As many of you know, until Obamacare came along, there were few to no high quality, affordable healthcare options for people under Medicare age that didn’t also come with some major affordability and eligibility issues for people with pre-existing conditions (which is everyone!). I could provide a lot more detail of the problems. They aren’t just “poor people” issues! How would you feel not being able to see doctors and surgeons who could save your life because the insurance coverage is so limited? That is a probable future we could face with a hacked together Republican healthcare plan. The Republicans came out today and stated that repeal of Obamacare would be one of the first items on their agenda. With no backup plan, especially for people with pre-existing conditions, many Americans face the impossibility of having no or terrible healthcare, despite having a lot of money to afford it. It’s a frightening prospect, as is their treatment of women, immigrants, trans and many other groups that also face tough consequences if these idiots win. Anyway, I really appreciate the people that have figured out what’s really going on and have taken action. Thank you.55 points

Just had a call that made my day. It was otherwise a pretty shitty day. @Brisketexan I think will appreciate this with the work he has done with immigrants. My interpreter from Afghanistan called. He is now a US Citizen (last year) and doing well. Bought a house, wife is about to get her associates, he owns his own long haul truck. Dude knows this country better than most born here. He calls me from Montana. "Boss, do I have to vote? I mean, will the arrest me? Do I get fined? Everyone is telling me who to vote for." "Nope I tell him, but it is your right to do it and as a citizen you should exercise all your rights. You learned about them when you took the class, and to me, voting is the most important right. It is not the President vote only, it is the school district, the mayor, everything that impacts your community. And (insert name) I am not going to tell you who I am voting for. Nor who I think you should vote for. I know you listen to the radio on your long hauls, so this is your choice. What matters to you." "Before I can answer he says his wife finishing her education. She wants to be a teacher. But she is afraid to go vote. She sees the media portraying it for some free for all." "Not at all I tell him. It is your community. It is an experience. It is part of our nation. You should experience it." "OK, well I will not be back until late Monday," he says. "No problem, take Tuesday off, and make a day out of it the two of you. And if you are unsure where to go let me know, I will drive down to San Antonio, figure out your voting location, and take you both. It would be an honor to see that happen." "Deal. Did your kids vote?" he asks. "Yep, and I did not ask them who for. I am just glad they voted and care. In fact I don't talk about politics with my father, and we both voted." I look forward to Monday. If he needs me to take him I will be happy to do so. It would have been easy to tell him what I think, what he shoudl do, etc. But no, that is on him. I suggested he and his wife look at the League of Woman Voters for a start into their local candidates. These two only know the chaos of a vote in Afghanistan. It will be interesting to see what they think and I am so happy he trusted me. Hook em.47 points

The short version of the story is I'd gotten a new boss in Austin and was miserable. My mom got terminal cancer, so it was an easy decision to quit and help her go through hospice. Once she passed, I spent some time prepping her house to sell (my dad had already died of Covid), but I got comfortable out here (it's the house I grew up in) and decided to just sell my Austin house, live here basically bill-free (no mortgage, solar panels, well water) and make a go of it.23 points

Driving north on mopac this morning, I saw a crowd of people on the overpass near spyglass with a Country B4 Party sign with them waving Harris/Walz signs. I don’t think I ever saw anything like that four years ago. I choose to believe the energy on Kamala’s side will carry her to a win19 points

I'm an old-fashioned Democrat. Other than leisurely rides around the property to let the sharecroppers know that I care about them, this old place pretty much runs itself.18 points

She's not getting nearly enough credit for this, and it's true. In the weeks leading up to Biden dropping out, there was all this concern about her ability to close the gap and lead the ticket, and all she did was secure the nomination in 48 hours, silence the doubters inside of a week, close the gap in a month and hold it closed, and on top of it all bolster support for the entire downballot slate without any major fuckups to the extent that instead of losing four seats in the Senate and 5-10 congressional districts, Democrats will probably only lose two seats in the senate and could possibly take the house. She can't fix 47.5% of the electorate, but she's done everything else.18 points
