and for me, at least I already live outside the US where there will be no riots when Harris wins, no bloodshed, and a huge sigh of relief. If Trump wins, the EU has already been working on contingency plans so I am hopeful we will remain safe. I believe the Democratic Party has been busy working on plans to deal with either scenario too and so I must simply follow what you suggest. I am thinking champagne no matter what!
I took 14 yr old Charlotte and her friend Daniel to early voting yesterday in Park Slope. Charlotte kept saying loudly in line things like, “But isn’t he a felon?”
I am encouraged by gold standard Ann Selzer’s Iowa poll, but still too nervous to have champagne on hand.
I hope that Texas goes to Allred, and that the women throughout the country lock arms in solidarity for Kamala and women’s rights. 💪
I always love your muppet (and fraggle!) political explanations and analyses. The comparisons are uncannily spot on, and I’m simultaneously flooded with good liberal vibes and nostalgic childhood wistfulness.
I wish you and Charlotte would come spend a week with us here! I just read a piece on Selzer's poll this morning - may it turn out to be as prescient as her previous years of polling!
Bonjour. The election results (and the implications of life in America for at least four years) motivated us to return to Europe (France, specifically) to find our next home. As retired educators, our options are framed by healthcare, art, culture, intelligence, affordability, and public transportation. We gave away our car to a Ukrainian refugee so she could drive an hour to work in an Amazon warehouse, dumped our condo to escape the sad soiled downtown Portland, and embraced our grandchildren praying their addict sociopath father is locked up for years. Here we are, in the south of France, exploring the coastal cities from Toulon to Perpignan. Montpellier is our next visit. Thank you for your articulate and anecdotal insight. Empirical evidence is much more personal. Merci. Dean et Cindy

We are terrified. And looking to relocate should all heck break loose. She will win - but will that matter?

XOXO to you and C.
We would love to come and visit you guys in beautiful France.
We stayed up late and were devastated by the news. It’s a real visceral blow.
Charlotte wants to run for president in 2044.
