But they were selective, so? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Seems like things are changing in Cabarrus. 2016 Trump+20 and 2020 Trump +9.5. They have a Dem State Rep Staton Williams and very fast growing. How left would this county have to go to see a Harris win if the overall state is slightly left of 20 (Trump+5 or lower?) seems like it will flip blue for governors race. Is there a real chance for Dems to rally up bases in Concord and inspire turnout near UNCC/ Harrisburg and flip this county into Dem leadership?

My father in the Piedmont Triad is a lifelong Republican. He hates Hillary Clinton almost as much as he loves Jesus Christ. (His father who died five years ago at age 94 definitely hated Hillary Clinton more than he loved Jesus Christ and that man loved Jesus.)

My dad does love the Grateful Dead and marijuana though, and I always say that if he didn't watch Fox News he might've been a Bernie guy. In 2020 he wrote in Ben Carson "because he just wants peace." (He did suffer a traumatic brain injury when he was in high school in the 70s and was in a coma for 10 days... a few pence short of a pound, as they say.)

But anyway, my father said that he spoke to me, and he heard me when I was worried about my immigrant friends, and he spoke to his sane and well adjusted successful Democratic sister, and said he loves both of us and does not like seeing us suffer or be upset or be oppressed.

So he told me that he voted for Kamala Harris!

After which he promptly went into a diatribe about how her agenda is evil, drag queen story hour is demented, sex change for transgendered people is bad, all the terrible stuff that you hear from conservatives. And he is in lockstep with the belief that abortion is murder, and that life begins when the zygote forms in the womb. And with the belief that gender is solely dependent on chromosomes alone.

But he said three weeks ago at his meeting with the New Canaan Society (which is a men's group teaching how to live ethically through a Christian worldview, which is fine, and which has some influential leaders in chapters across the country), they did an exercise where they asked what their hearts could live with with this election.

And he said, if Trump can think of a name to call you, he will call you it. He said Trump is just the most disrespectful asshole and he could not vote for Donald Trump. And that he hates Donald Trump and Harris.

But he said leaders must be respectful of people who are different. And he said he tries to approach things he does not understand, like the 400 or 500 pound person, he does not know if they are fat because of poor personal decisions, or if they have a medical condition. He says the guy who whips around the corner going 100 miles an hour and you want to curse out for being an asshole, you don't know if he is rushing home to his pregnant wife, or if he is just actually an asshole. So he tries to approach things he does not understand with curiosity.

And he said that Donald Trump is just a judgmental asshole and think that leader should be respectful so he voted for Kamala.

I popped a champagne bottle tonight. This is tremendous, earth shattering, very profound news from my father.

I got two copies of this letter (well one is addressed to the previous recipient, but it's from the same address, has the same thickness, and as far as I can tell without opening it). For the life of me it's just confusing. Like this is so generic that I can't for the life of me tell what part, wing, or group sent this. Too further complicate things the return address is in Madison, Wisconsin. I have never even been to Wisconsin.

Anyone know what “Table C” means? Plus, wondering if they’ll pack the entire amphitheater, grass area included?

I just got an invite for the rally with Vice President Kamala Harris on October 30th at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh. Doors open at 9 AM, with a hard arrival time of 11 AM. I’ll be in the “TABLE C” line—anyone know if that actually means something, or is it just a check-in designation?

They’ve got some strict security rules (Secret Service level, no liquids, reusable bottles, large bags, or umbrellas allowed). I’m curious if they’re expecting a packed house, maybe even filling the lawn area. Anyone else attending or have thoughts on the setup?

Let’s connect if you’re going, or if you know more about what to expect.
