I got a thousand for a writing party with some volunteers I'm scraping together. Will probably do more after that.
I've moved out of state but still have a swing state area code cell number, so I'll be working to cure ballots.
Regarding those (I've started with a mere 300, will sign up for more once these are done); postcard stamp rates go up soon, you can still get these at the lower price.

Two months to labor day and from there there's two more months of the silly season including debate, the 538 polling average hasn't even gotten to April's margins lol
That's what everyone is losing their goddamn minds about, a two point debate polling bump. That's what it is right now. That's what people are losing their goddamn minds over. Its been five days. We've had polls, including day of.
The (not even that old, common for the most reliable voters) line was that the election didn't start till the World Series was over.
The World Series is in November now and no one watches baseball anymore, but also fucks sake, it's July, 95% of the country is just sorting out their charcoal choice.
Right now, today, the polling is completely in line with a Biden repeat along roughly 2020 margins and there's honestly no reason to doubt that as the likeliest outcome
some of my normal, non-online friends were talking politics this weekend. consensus:
>this is the best we can do? sad
>trump is a huge liar and btw did you see all the “black jobs” tiktoks I sent you
>isn’t the election not until like november anyway?
It’s fear, shock and horror. The specter of a real second Trump term is anathema to American civics; he should have been stopped at a hundred points. It’s both awful and something that should be impossible.
The panic is basically the same as seeing Cthulhu rise from the ocean.
There needed to be five points of movement to Trump with independents. I haven't seen anything close to that.
However, replacing Biden doesn't matter at this point. The Imperial Presidency decision will hurt Trump far more than anyone is realizing.
At the risk of sounding like a dork: every one of us who cares about the outcome should take responsibility for it. What are we doing today, tomorrow, and in August and September to win? MAGA is voting for their horrific vision of the future. Let’s get every possible president to vote against that.
Many of them definitely are. But I believe there is a tipping point for another large swath of them. The less locked in, less culty. Question is, where is that point?
I both thank you for saying this and would like you to go outside, turn around, and spit, or knock wood, or sacrifice some sort of farm animal. Maybe all of the above.
