Hi guys! I decided to pay the subscription. I've never talked about this on here, but I have Autism, high functioning. Its hard to see the corruption, the price increases, the awfulness in our country. But I believe in America. Our country has went through moment of crisis far more volatile than this. But that does not mean we get complecent. For a better environment, for a Public Option, for $25 minimum wage, for so much more..I believe.

Let's kick ass in November guys!

Love the positivity. I have a good vibe about November. My only worry about us not retaking Congress is due to this stuff with the USPS and mail-in ballots which is concerning

I wonder if his father losing his primary had anything to do with it. Or just a potentially very blue environment.

Seems pretty early to announce. Perhaps he plans to work to overturn free and fair elections elsewhere now.

The Crystal Ball has made three rating shifts in Gov races, all toward Blue:

AK: Likely R to Toss-up;

IA: Toss-up to Likely Dem;

PA: Likely Dem to Safe Dem.

They shifted Iowa to Leans Dem instead of Likely Dem, which makes much more sense.

Ralph Norman will certainly get write in votes. He couldn't be elected that way because of the sore loser law here, as noted in digest yesterday. But that won't prevent people from writing him in. How many wtite ins would he get? That would be a fun pool to make. My guess would be about 1000, though I'd normally say less than 200 for others.
