Local Maga precinct chair just knocked on my door. Had a golf cart with all the goofy flags including Vets for Trump.

Told him I already voted; he then asked if I voted cruz and Trump.

"Absolutely not, no way, Jan 6.  Thanks for your service."

He looked incredulous. You are white and didn't vote for Trump

Had a big ass Doberman with him so I only spoke through the speakeasy.

Never had a door knock before in 15 years of living here.

 

Be careful. Your house has been marked now.

She remembers 2016, and going to bed thinking Hillary would win.

I voted for Harris last week.  My wife dropped off her vote for Harris this AM.

Sounds like KS, and even some people in Oklahoma are angry about the attack on public education.

Not enough to move the needle because rural (and most suburban) Oklahomans are the dumbest Americans to ever live, at least since we were using leaches on people to cure disease.

I will stop wishing death upon the ex who lives in Las Vegas if Nevada comes through for Harris.

Do like we do with recruiting and have 1 thread for official called results and 1 thread for commentary? Assign @Js1 to be the poster to post the official results in that thread with special mod type privilege for this forum to post in a locked thread?

That is actually super adorable.  Kids need to be exposed to voting early so it becomes instilled as something you do and you're proud to do. 

My 6 month old daugher got a "I voted" sticker last Monday when we did our early voting!

I'd assume the NE corner of Iowa is probably a big factor in that with the combination of what was big Union presence historically with packing and farm equipment makers plus it seemed like a lot of Irish Catholics too. 

It definitely was.  Obama won the Driftless Area (and our neighboring WI and MN counties too) both times.

The farm crisis in the 80's made a lot of farmers hate Reagan and Republicans.  These were the guys my grandpa's age (my grandpa is a 90 year old Trump loathing yellow dog Democrat).  Their sons all did really well farming and became Republicans as a result (my old man being a rare exception).  Most of the old Carter Democrat farmers have died out, and I think that was a part of Trump's rise as Boomer and old Gen X rural guys became hardcore Trumpers.

I also think that low income/low education white people (IE white trash - I can say it because I live amongst them) didn't care about politics before Trump, and they turned out in a big way.  They're losing interest again as he's losing steam, and his win never really changed their lives.  Combine that with women overwhelmingly flipping to Harris and I can see how Iowa is making this political shift with different demographics than we saw in the past.

I know.

Most of the people I still talk to are in the sticks. But even they want to a have school 5 days a weeks (eg, Konowa) so they can work and not have to worry about day care.

And the leeching clinic in Holdenville is top notch.

I know I'm wishcasting but...

I don't know any typical Democrats are who are so turned off by Harris that they would consider voting for Trump, but I know several typical Republicans (myself included) who are repulsed by Trump to the point of either not voting, or even voting for Harris.  Multiply that by thousands and let's see how things turn out.

Just my personal anecdote from N. Dallas burbs.

Same, but E. Dallas burbs, holla!!

They blame the 8 democrats in the state legislature, or the federal government when a democrat is president. Stupid fucking morons.

This thread is essentially the off-season thread where was 1 of them is the official called thread and the other is the gameday thread?

 

By this rational do we need gameday threads for games and season threads?

One side of my family was big Farmers Union/Co-op people so they have always been pretty blue. The slide to mega co-ops hurt a lot of engagement at the local level because those local board members would work their way up to other offices.
