I am not afraid to admit that I have had some real moments of panic this week about the election.
But the fact is we ARE in a better position than they are. American Greatness. And we should just put on our game faces and do all we can to win!
Here are 18 reasons to be bullish about the election!
1. It will all come down to enthusiasm and we have the enthusiasm — Part 1
There are many ways to measure enthusiasm.
Crowd size is one:
In 2016 Trump was holding large rallies with energetic crowds. Many on our side believed that this was not indicative. The numbers in the crowd maybe not, but the enthusiasm was real and in the end it did matter. Since Kamala stormed onto the scene, the script has flipped. She has drawn packed crowds everywhere and the enthusiasm has been off the charts. I have never seen anything like it, not even in 2008. We are hungry, hungry to save our Democracy. And Kamala Harris is the perfect messenger. Trump rallies, on the other hand, have the creepy feeling of a crypt.
The only way he can get crowds is by holding huge events with their biggest super start (Musk?) and hyping them up for people all around. AND by going to areas that have giant populations but they can’t win.
First, the ability to get a lot of people to a few events is not the same as organically doing that again and again and again in town after town.
Second, it gets to another reason that I am not worried.
2. Trump’s ego is sinking them
So trump is so obsessed with crowd size that he is doing rallies in places that are not swing states just so he can win. Like NY and California.
They are missing out on actual rallies in order to bolster his pathetic ego.
That is not a recipe for winning
3. Ignore the red wave polling
There are all kinds of red wave poll outfits out there. What is red wave polling?
It is a new kind of fuckery thought up by the Rs. They learned that there are all kinds of folks just aggregating polls, so they started flooding the market with right leaning biased polls. Polls from their own pollsters designed specifically to show that they are winning.
an example: Yesterday I saw a diary here about a poll from American Greatness. It was a PA poll that showed Harris up 4 in registered voters but down 1.5 to trump in likely voters.
That is odd.
I wasn’t the only one who thought that. Aaron Astor (a professor at Maryville College) looked into it and the poll all but removed Philadelphia from the LV totals.
Weird!
Maybe a mistake?
Daniel Nichanian. Editor-in-chief and founder of @BoltsMag contacted the pollster to let them know about the mistake and IT WASNT A MISTAKE.
They claim that nearly the entire sample of registered voters from Philadelphia were unlikely to vote. (Despite 75% of them saying they were "very likely to vote.")
My friends, this is what the red wave pollsters do. They reverse engineer their data to show trump ahead.
Do not pay any attention to red wave pollsters. OR to places like “realclearpolitics” which include all of those pollsters in their averages.
Bad data is bad data. Purposely bad data is fraud.
IGNORE THE RED WAVE POLLING
4. We are in a better place than they are
Some aggregates (like 538) do a better job of eliminating their red wave polling but they still don’t eliminate all of it. For example, the “American Greatness” poll was included in their data.
But even WITH the fuckery with the polling we STILL area ahead in 538.
I saw a full on panic about some polling earlier this week and kept checking 538 to see how it affected the odds and it… didn’t. They still have the race really tight with us at a slight advantage.
5. It will all come down to enthusiasm and we have the enthusiasm — Part 2
Another way to measure enthusiasm is MONEY.
Harris has raised a billion freaking dollars.
Harris' political operation crosses $1 billion raised for the 2024 election
Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign operation crossed the $1 billion fundraising threshold in September, two months after she took over as the Democratic Party's standard-bearer, according to two people familiar with the numbers.
The figure includes money raised by the campaign committee itself and by a campaign-affiliated joint fundraising committee that also collects cash for the Democratic National Committee and state parties.
The staggering pace suggests Harris has been able to sustain enthusiasm among donors, large and small, as the campaign enters the stretch run before the Nov. 5 election.
and trump has raised LESS money than last time. Which ain’t a good sign for their enthusiasm!
Note that in the last presidential cycle, the Trump campaign raised $248 million in September 2020. That means that a tired, exhausted, gassed, spent Trump came up $88 million short of what he raised during the same period in his last campaign.
and even better
A key factor in Trump’s anemic fundraising is the collapse of his small-dollar donor base.
“Fewer than a third of the Republican’s campaign contributions have come from donors who gave less than $200—down from nearly half of all donations in his 2020 race,” the Associated Press reported on Thursday. “The total collected from small donors has also declined, according to the analysis. Trump raised $98 million from such contributors through June, a 40% drop compared to the $165 million they contributed during a corresponding period in his previous presidential race.”
Money may not win campaigns, but voter engagement and enthusiasm are major factors, and small-dollar donations are a proxy for supporter enthusiasm.
We all know how important PA is to the election. Although we have a LONG way to go before we know who wins, we are seeing some encouraging signs from early voting
let's look at the early vote in PA by modeled partisanship. It shows a wider Dem lead than at this point in 2020. Why is that? The answer is simple - the model believes that the unaffiliated voters are more Dem than they were in 2020.
Looking at gender, women are accounting for a larger share of the early vote in PA than they did at this point in 2020, and in-line with 2022, suggesting the post-Dobbs environment continues (as we have seen elsewhere an in other data).
Now, looking at the racial breakdown of women early voters in PA, we see the biggest increases among women of color, especially Black women whose turnout is 248% of their turnout at this point in 2020, compared to 146% for white women.
7. We have an outstanding Bench
Former President Obama Fires Up Pittsburgh
We’ve got a lot of people out there holding rallies and firing up crowds and history shows that those rallies make a difference.
Obama’s riff on Trump and health care tonight :“His running-mate had the nerve to say Donald Trump salvaged the Affordable Care Act.“I… I mean… “Donald Trump spent his entire presidency trying to tear it down, and by the way, he couldn’t even do that right.”
Also — Bill Clinton will campaign for Vice President Harris in Georgia on Oct. 13 and 14 before launching a bus tour of North Carolina next week.
Every one of those rallies and events makes a difference and we have enough super stars to get LOTS of rallies and events going each and every day!
8. The Economy
"This is a great economy. Why can’t we celebrate it?”
By just about every measure, the U.S. economy is in good shape. Growth is strong. Unemployment is low. Inflation is back down. More important, many Americans are getting sizable pay raises, and middle-class wealth has surged to record levels. We are living through one of the best economic years of many people’s lifetimes. Yet it’s barely mentioned in popular culture or on the campaign trail.
Last Friday’s jobs report surpassed all expectations. Even if the report is later revised down, it will still show an economy that is humming along. And consider the bigger picture: The United States has nearly 7 million more jobs than it did before the pandemic, and the largest share of 25-to-54-year-olds working since 2001. Many experts didn’t think it even possible for the labor market to become this robust again. Some theories considered Americans too addicted to video games or drugs, or simply too lazy to work. The jobs rebound has proved the experts wrong.
The story on inflation is similar. Two years ago, economists were predicting a recession. Many said it was impossible to lower inflation without a downturn and widespread job losses. Yet we are living through this miracle. Report after report shows inflation cooling off. On Thursday, we learned that inflation has cooled to 2.4 percent. It’s so close to the 2 percent target again even Federal Reserve officials aren’t that worried about it anymore. And there is no recession in sight.
In addition to defying expectations, the United States has seen much stronger growth than other advanced nations, and the benefits have gone largely to the working class.
All this good news is talked about openly on Wall Street. Investors believe the soft landing is real. This is why the S&P 500 stock market index is up 20 percent this year. Leaders abroad are also discussing the rapid U.S. rebound — enviously. Both French President Emmanuel Macron and former Italian prime minister Mario Draghi say the European Union needs to be more like the United States economically.
Yet in the domestic political realm, even Democrats are hesitant to discuss the good
But at this point, it’s fair to speak openly about the improvement. Prices are up 21 percent overall since February 2020, but the average wage gain in that time is 24 percent. Wage hikes have exceeded inflation for the past 17 months, and this is helping people get ahead. It also helps that gas prices have fallen appreciably since the spring, and many stores are slashing prices to lure customers back.
It’s important to recognize how much ordinary Americans have recently benefited. Since the pandemic, Americans in the bottom 40 percent of income have experienced the fastest wage growth. What’s more, the biggest surge in wealth since the end of 2019 has gone to the bottom 50 percent. Their wealth nearly doubled, largely because of the big jump in home prices. The American homeownership rate is at its highest level since the foreclosure crisis (excluding the weird data from 2020). Homeownership among Hispanics and Asians is at record highs. These are extraordinary gains.
and this:
Harris and Walz are winning the economic policy argument
For months, Trump campaign operatives have said they want their candidate to “stick to his economic policies.” Trump supporters have repeated that shibboleth even more lately as their candidate continues to shed the GOP’s typically large and reliable large polling advantage on economic issues.
Trump held a 12 point polling advantage over Biden on “the economy” in 2020 and had a lead of as high as 22 percent only months ago, but his lead over Harris on the economy may now only be five or six points and is likely still shrinking.
Contrary to the received wisdom, Trump’s problem is not that he speaks too little about his economic policies — it’s that his policies would be undeniably bad for the economy and for working Americans. And the more voters learn about what Trump is planning to do, the worse it is for him.
This intractable problem stands to become even more serious for Trump as voters learn more about Vice President Harris’s policies, which actually speak to the concerns and needs of working people and families.
During the final weeks of the campaign, Harris reportedly plans to focus heavily on her economic policy agenda, including her opposition to oligopolistic price gouging, her plans for housing development and mortgage assistance, a new plan for Medicare coverage of home care, and plans to build on the industrial (and with them job) development initiatives of the past several years.
Harris may actually find herself pushing through an open door, as the public increasingly comes to recognize that Trump is selling policies they rejected years ago, while she offers plans that actually speak to the problems and opportunities presented by the nation’s economy.
and this
Some recent surveys have even found the candidates in a dead heat on economic issues. A recent Cook Political Report poll of swing state voters, for instance, found Trump’s advantage on “inflation and the cost of living” had evaporated completely.
9. Early Voting in Michigan looks good
EARLY VOTE MICHIGAN – analysis by Patrick Schuh
"With 25 days to go before EDay the strategic advantage of progressive coalition embracing early vote continues to play out in 2024. As of yesterday's [note: Wednesday’s] data update, nearly 34% of a projected high turnout environment is in absentee ballot requests (over 2m).
"Reminder, MI is a non-party registration state; any analysis is based upon modeling. Likely Democratic supporters outnumber likely Republicans by over 462k ballot requests; almost 40% of this advantage comes from voters with infrequent vote histories!
"Frequent likely Democratic voters outnumber likely Frequent Republicans by ~285k requests... 45% of all requests are from likely Democratic voters; only 22% from likely Republicans.
"55% of registered, likely Frequent Democratic voters have requested a ballot vs. just 30% for likely Frequent Republicans. Nearly 18% of registered, likely Democrats with sporadic or infrequent vote histories have requested v. just 8% of likely Republicans
"There are another ~650k voters who have requested an absentee ballot we know less about. They account for ~32% of requests; these types of voters broke heavily for Biden & Whitmer in early vote in 2020 & 2022. 45% of these voters w/ frequent vote histories have requested a ballot.
"Doing napkin math from requests, Dems could enter Election Day with more than 1.2-–1.4m votes banked. What this currently means is the progressive/democratic coalition still has a ton of work to do; yet, the lift for Republicans feels much larger to mobilize a set of infrequent voters.
"We'll also know more as additional returns come in and early, in-person voting comes online across the state. Just under 400k voters had cast a ballot based upon yesterday's data update."
[Note: Based on numbers per 9 October. "Yesterday" is referring to Wednesday.]

10. Some Nikki Haley Voters Are Breaking to Kamala
the Bulwark has a report about a promising new poll of Haley voters:
A SIGNIFICANT CHUNK OF SELF-IDENTIFIED Nikki Haley voters say they will support Kamala Harris for president, according to a new survey shared exclusively with The Bulwark.
If the election were held today, Donald Trump would win just 45 percent of those who backed Haley in the GOP primary while 36 percent said they’d back Harris, the new poll shows, according to the survey of 781 registered Republicans and independents conducted by the new Democratic-leaning polling outfit Blueprint. The poll did not include Democrats or Democrat-leaning Independents who supported Haley.
Trump’s level of support from Haley voters in the poll represents a significant drop in support for Trump, who won those same voters against Joe Biden by 59-28 percent. That 22 percentage point change in preference (from plus 31 percent for Trump in 2020 to plus 9 percent in this survey) could represent a swing of millions of votes.
The findings are among the most substantive analyses of Haley supporters. They come on the heels of a New York Times/Siena College poll showing that Harris has made major inroads among GOP voters, with 9 percent saying they planned to support the vice president, up from 5 percent from a survey last month.
“Between 5 and 10 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are Nikki Haley supporters,” said Evan Roth Smith, the lead pollster for Blueprint, which conducted the poll between September 28 and October 6. “If Harris can indeed win a third or more of them in the general election, it will provide a boost of a couple percentage points. In such a close race where the margin of victory will be razor-thin, particularly in the swing states, it’s clearly worth pursuing these voters.”
11. Trump’s Mouth is Sinking Them — part 1
The man was never able to control what he said, but the decline is real and he keeps saying dumber and dumber things.
And sometimes that really helps us.
Like a couple of days ago when he told people IN DETROIT that Detroit was awful.
This is just dumb. The Rs are counting on key groups in Detroit (like Arab Americans) voting for him.
this is not the way to make this happen.
Mayor Mike Duggan was just one of several Democrats fighting back after the former president warned that the whole country would end up “like Detroit” under Kamala Harris.
“Detroit just hosted the largest NFL Draft in history, the Tigers are back in the playoffs, the Lions are headed to the Super Bowl, crime is down and our population is growing,” Duggan tweeted on Thursday afternoon.
In a video posted on Instagram, Duggan further criticized the former president, who he claimed had “fuzzy” memory.
“Since Donald Trump left office, the unemployment rate in Detroit is way down, the homicide rate is way down, and our population is growing for the first time since the 1950s. In fact, the best thing that happened to Detroit was when Donald Trump left office and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came in and gave us real partners.”
“Lots of cities should be like Detroit. And we did it all without Trump’s help.” Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer chimed in, posting on X, “Detroit is the epitome of ‘grit,’ defined by winners willing to get their hands dirty to build up their city and create their communities—something Donald Trump could never understand. So keep Detroit out of your mouth. And you better believe Detroiters won’t forget this in November.”
“Donald Trump might not remember where he is right now so here’s a quick reminder about what Detroit’s all about,” wrote Rep. Joe Tate, speaker of Michigan’s House of Representatives, while posting an image of Will Smith yelling at Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
They even received a cool reception from the leaders of the Detroit Economic Club.
“I might disagree, because you and I know that there’s some really, really great things happening here,” Steve Grigorian, the club’s president and CEO, told local station ClickOnDetroit. “And when he mentioned that he will make Detroit ‘come back’—I don’t like that term ‘come back.’ We’re doing really, really well right now.”
Moron.
12. Our team is all over the media (and being smart about it).
Harris is on the cover of Vogue. Harris is doing podcasts popular with young women. Harris did an AMAZING interview on the Howard Stern Show. She is on The View. She is all over the media in the smartest way possible — reaching people who are hard to reach.
Harris nails '60 Minutes' interview Trump was too afraid to do
Vice President Kamala Harris sat with CBS’ “60 Minutes” for a wide-ranging prime-time interview that aired on Monday night. Harris discussed her plans to improve the country if elected president, her personal views, and Donald Trump’s precedent-breaking decision to avoid the interview opportunity.
“60 Minutes” has been a mainstay of television news for over 55 years and has been the highest-rated newsmagazine show for the last 50 of those years. The show also has millions who consume its content via TikTok and YouTube, so an appearance by a candidate there can make an impression with a wide swath of the electorate—especially this close to an election.
And Tim Walz Gets Rave Reviews For His Fox News Appearance
Tim Walz is getting a number of good reviews for his appearance on Fox News today, mostly for his discussion about abortion rights. Here’s a samplilng.

13. Trump’s Mouth is sinking them — part 2
Early voting is a real help to a campaign. Not only does it lock in numbers, but it lets campaign focus on fewer people.
R’s want on the bandwagon. Getting in their way? Their lead idiot
Republicans are trying to up their early voting game — but Trump keeps getting in the way
Republicans are pouring tens of millions of dollars into getting GOP voters to cast ballots before Election Day.
They’re frustrated because Donald Trump keeps getting in the way.

Moron.
There are many reasons why 2016 was 2016 but one likely one was not enough attention to the upper Midwest.
Not an issue this time.
One of the big criticisms of Hillary was that she wasn't physically in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin enough. I haven’t done all the math, but just observing over the past few months, it seems like VP Harris(and Governor Walz), while having traveled to the sunbelt states of Georgia and Arizona and maybe some other places too, have spent more time in the blue wall states than anywhere else.
She's also apparently been doing lots of local media in those markets, employing a strategy of seeking to narrow the margins in the counties she’s likely to lose, and we keep hearing about how her ground game is much bigger than TFG’s, right? And there’s still a month left to keep fortifying the wall — Governor Walz just did a bus tour in Pennsylvania, President Obama is about to barnstorm the battlegrounds, and I expect the VP herself will be back too.
It wasn't uncommon to hear complaints about a sense of entitlement within Hillary's campaign, but VP Harris has positioned herself as the underdog since day one, and she and her campaign seem to be doing the work on the ground to win those states.
15. The Dobbs Factor
Yes, this is still a huge issue. believe it or not, women are not just going to “get over” having our fundamental right to control our own bodies taken away.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade has had a huge effect in energizing the base and women in particular, as well as bringing in women who aren't necessarily Democrats. Abortion rights measures have passed pretty much every time they've been on the ballot, and they are on the ballot in ten more states this year, including Arizona, Nevada, and Florida.
Moreover, Democrats have overperformed polls in virtually every election since the Dobbs ruling. There is no way to know if that pattern will hold when TFG himself is on the ballot, but the evidence seems to suggest it will be a factor.
The feeling and hope has been that millions of women are going to come out and vote for their rights.
16. Trump’s Ceiling
Being close in the polls means something else when one side has little room to grow
Carl Allen: Trump’s Ceiling a Bad Sign for MAGA
Lately I’ve been reading a lot of Carl Allen’s tweets. He’s the author of the recent book, “The Polls Weren’t Wrong.” He seems to be getting more attention since his book came out.
His thesis — which is interesting and makes sense if you think about it — can be summed up thusly:
Let’s say you have two sets of candidates in two different races:
- Candidate A is leading Candidate B in one race 46% to 40%.
- Candidate C is leading Candidate D in another race 49% to 47%.
The question arises: Which candidate is in the better position? Candidate A? Or Candidate C?
The answer is Candidate C, even though he/she is only ahead by 2 points instead of the 6 points Candidate A is ahead by.
The reason for that is because Candidate C is closer to 50%, and there are very few undecideds left.
Trump’s Ceiling a Bad Sign for MAGA
Remember: when people say "Trump outperformed his polls in 2016 and 2020" that's because they're operating under the flawed "polls-as-predictions" mindset instead of the proper "polls as base of support" one.
In 2016, his poll numbers were in the low-to-mid 40s with lots of undecideds in the swing states, and he finished around 47% or 48%, with third parties pulling several percent.
A lot of "wish we had a different candidate Conservatives" were hiding out as "undecided" and came home.
In 2020, his poll numbers were higher than in 2016, in the mid-40s, with fewer undecideds, and in most swing states, he ended up still getting around 48% to 49% in the election. Third parties pulled very few votes in this one.
But that 48%-49% was not enough to win in 2020.
and this from another analyst — The Polls *Are Not* Underestimating Trump This Time
It seems unlikely that Trump has much room left to grow, while Harris has a couple points still available to her.
In other words: Trump is at or near his ceiling. Harris is not.
Regardless of what fears one clings to from 2016, here’s a stone-cold fact: Trump has done NOTHING to expand his base and appeal since 2016
He’s lost every election since that minor electoral vote count win of 80K across three states. Had Trump not been running against Hillary Clinton, (like her or not, she was a flawed candidate with tons of baggage and presuppositions about her character) he would have lost. The left was docile and complacent, comfortable that she would win regardless if they voted third party or sat it out, because the polls told them not to worry about their vote counting. They are not that way in 2024.
Without Trump running as an ‘outsider’ against the establishment, he would have lost. He’s treated that win like a mandate. It wasn’t. He was unpopular then and he’s more unpopular now. He will always have his rabid base and his billionaire class that will benefit from his absolutely nihilistic approach to Government.
But there aren’t enough of them.
Trump needed to win over independents, women, minorities, people of color, the LGBTQ communities. Instead he’s built his campaign on fearmongering to his followers about these communities, instead of an outreach to include them.
The mainstream media loves the chaos he sows. Makes great headlines. Gets them clicks. Sells those automobiles, pharmaceuticals and insurance policies. So any bad poll for Harris/Walz is going to get all kinds of attention, while Trump maintaining a cozy relationship with the Russian dictator in Moscow is treated like just another day in the Trump campaign.
But that narrative is an illusion compared to factual, measurable things like 1 billion dollars raised in less than 3 months from small dollar donors. Deep conservatives like the Cheneys standing up to endorse Harris; The political equivalent of hell freezing over.
So as Simon Rosenberg says “Do more and worry less.” Trump and his minions are counting on wearing out the left and drowning hope and enthusiasm.
If Barack Obama could defeat John McCain and Mitt Romney, Kamala Harris can beat Trump.
There are too many women and the men who love them to let Project 2025 destroy their bodily autonomy rights. There are too many black people that want their votes to count and be easier to cast. There are too many young people sick of seeing their rights stripped away. Too many parents sick of seeing mass shootings while semi-automatic weapons stay unregulated. These are popular policies that cross party lines in poll after poll. Being afraid of losing doesn’t mean that we’re losing.
Trump lost before to Biden, BEFORE we lost Roe V wade and the Dobbs decision.
Vote, donate, campaign,.. FIGHT.
18. I would never bet against us!
I’ve been at this since 2017. I’ve never bet against us. And I’ve never lost.
We win because we show up.
And we show up.
Y’all, this is crunch time and we all need to do what we can to finish strong!
None of this matters if we each don’t pitch in!
Like Coach says, we can sleep when we are dead! ;-)
What am I doing?
Well, this :) and I’ve been writing postcards like crazy.
This coming Thursday I am hosting a postcard writing party. I’ll have the cards and snacks etc. and my friends will provide the elbow grease!
As you read this (on Saturday!) I’ll be in Erie PA at Democratic headquarters getting training for helping out during the big upcoming GOTV drive! Its a 3.5 hour drive round trip but I am excited to do it (and then do it again and again) because it reduces my stress to be doing something AND because every single person’s effort is needed and counts!
I am also bringing money from my friends here in Buffalo to go to pizza etc. for the Erie PA Dems. That is a way to donate to the cause! Local headquarters are not sharing in that big top of the ticket money, so donating money for snacks/dinners is a huge help.
You can also donate to one of these:
You can do something else:
there are many things that you can do. Now is the time to do them! Pick something and DO IT!! Seriously. Do something.
I am so proud and so lucky to be in this with all of you ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 💙❤️💛💚✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
