      So sick of people hating on polls for causing optimism. Being optimistic is not being complacent

        You must understand, Hillary was ahead on polls in 2016 and I swear that’s given people paranoia.

        That said, the Hillary vote was a vote against Trump and were forced into it. This feels like a vote for Harris is a vote for Harris – people actually feel good about supporting her and Walz. Demolishing Trump is a bonus!

      But also… HOPE! It’s okay to feel good about this as long as you avoid complacency.

      Some hopeful things you can do:

      • Encourage friends and family who don’t vote often to go to the polls.
      • Plan out election day trips to take them, if needed (doesn’t apply in states with 100% vote by mail).
      • Offer to sit down with them and go over the choices offered by this year’s ballots.
      • Volunteer if you have some time.

      Battle complacency with hopeful action!
