Thank you so much for using your platform for this essential argument, when we are on the brink of fascism.

Puro genius

Quite possibly the best article on the whole mess our country has become.

Mom always said to vote for the least bad. I pray people realize this. While I miss them, I'm very glad my mother and father didn't live to see this disaster.

Love one another

When I voted Thursday I felt so aware of the gift to vote and the opportunity to send a blessing to the candidates I selected, to our country and the world. I told everyone at work I was going to vote without saying who for. I work with many under 25. They cheered me on. I hope they can feel empowered to vote as well or have voted.

“If the United States elected its leader by a method that ALL other Western democracies and republics use, Trump’s three Supreme Court appointees would never have come into power. The Roe v. Wade law would not have been overturned. Abortion would still be fully legal in the United States. “

Yes! Can I post this with credit to you on Insta?

Voting as a life or death matter in 2024... and here we are looking at a Mars-Pluto opposition. Couldn't be more apt.

Thank you. Your work uplifts me every time I read it, even when you speak the truth, which as a rule, you do. This is not easy to pull off. I voted, and I take my voting practice seriously. Now that it's done, I pray that power-crazed people and their enablers will not succeed in dominating those of us who want to live in peace and health. It's quite a stark time to be a person.

I believe that "stark" is an understatement.

I'm utilizing your election prayer. May it propel us to wild, certain and unequivocal victory...

Can't thank you enough for your thoughts and brilliance. You clarify the significance and gravity of the state of this and every election...the importance, the right & responsibility, and privilege of voting.

THANK YOU, Rob. Sending you and your readers love. Celebrated my birthday by voting for Kamala in deep red, rural Georgia! This Libra knows another justice-loving Libra when she sees one <3

Voted as soon as my state allowed. I hope everyone else does the same.

Voting is not a spectator sport.

I am horrified at where we are at this moment. Looking back, when I was so unhappy with the two candidates that were offered, I voted for Jill Stein. I did this only because I was sure in my mind that Clinton was a shoe-in, and I wanted to state my dissatisfaction with our poor choices. I will never do that again. I can happily state that I was glad to vote for Kamala. Is she perfect? No, but she's a hell of a lot better than the other choice. This article gave me information I never had. It was enlightening. Thank you.

Thank you again, Rob, for taking the time to publish these election issues of your newsletter. I am absorbing everything you write and sharing this information in various places. I do feel fairly certain that Kamala Harris is going to win this election easily, but your writing helps ease the stress many of us are feeling.

I also want to share this link to a terrific new ad that the Lincoln project is running in various battleground states:

Thank you for this about voting! I’ve held my nose many a time in the voting booth where I am for each and every primary and then election. I’m distraught about Gaza but have no choice but to vote for Kamala and along with Bernie am impressed with Joe’s record. I wrestled in my heart to forgive him about my heroine Anita Hill but did and am grateful to Joe. May the Goddess Lady Liberty bless us with Her Grace next week!
