There's at least one "Trump/Pence" sign here. Someone's living in a time warp.

Always Anti-fascist!

With those people? More than one...

I’m v glad to live in a liberal bubble and a solidly blue state so there’s not much of any signs or commercials or anything! I was in Colorado the other week and was like “oh right…”

I went camping Saturday and it was really nice until about 10pm when the thunderstorms started. And my tent turned out to be in a low lying spot and was in a lake of water. So I slept in the backseat of my car. It wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been—the sleeping mat helped the backseat be more comfy/a bit of cushion on the door part, and the tent actually kept everything dry until I got in and realized the issue. But it was an uncomfortable night. I would’ve just driven home (it was only about an hour away) but didn’t want to try to take the tent down in the dark and pouring rain.

But also, how come yesterday I was tired but mostly ok all day (I’d planned to take a nap but didn’t, and instead went to the grocery store and dried and packed the tent up et ) but today even though I slept solidly last night I felt like crap??

Fingers crossed work will be chill today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Has anybody seen a Harris sign yet?

One in my neighborhood, homemade in Brat green.

But every district in San Francisco is about 92%+ Dem and the others are generally Green or Independent. Certainly there are Republicans and Libertarians scattered about but not in any numbers.

SF already bequeathed Pelosi, Kamala and Gavin Newsom to the scene.

Anyway, you know all this. I'm just reiterating why I live here.

Love my progressive neighborhood, stressed about my purple state. I'm glad that the only thing I watch on network TV are Bengals games, so I'll only have to endure political commercials during the September and October games. Which is bad enough.

Our wings are not tired.

Otter Lake is in a Trumpy area, but I have my pockets of sane folks to hang with. Fort Lauderdale is pretty bright blue, but there are always a few.

Our county is pretty Trumpy. He won by 38 points in 2020, but that means almost a third of the votes didn't go for him.

Yeah, I'm outnumbered here about 2 to 1 as well. I'm thinking of getting a couple of Harris/Walz signs for my yard.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I’ve seen several of the old Biden/Harris signs with Bidens name covered up.

That is sad. I still feel sad for Joe.

We are watching the convention. Very uplifting. I have to believe people prefer a positive message.
