The only thing better than election day is the day after, when I don’t have to watch any political commercials. Please, everyone, exercise your power of choice and get out and vote!

Good luck with your elections, Beth. Everyone over there needs to try to stop ‘Gilead’ from happening in real life.
Best wishes, Pete.

I hope their rallying was effective! Obama and Biden were in Philadelphia and elsewhere in PA to campaign for Fetterman and Shapiro.

Yes, may the ‚good‘ win everywhere. THEN the hard work will continue; but at least you‘ll know where you stand. My heart is with the friends in the States. Go and VOTE! (Needless to say however that those who read your blog, have done that already or will go and vote ….)

The right to rally, protest, voice your opinion and vote are all on the list of things to be eliminated by the right wing. In every country, we must be observant and careful…

I do agree it will be nice to have all the commercials gone. I hope if nothing else they inspired more folks to cast their votes regardless of who they vote for. Democracy depends upon it.

“Big Gretch”? Don’t think I’d want to be called that, but I assume it stems from respect. I do love Mayor Pete. Wish he’d moved to Colorado!
