Poor you. I got a "handwritten" note from "Jenni" in California urging me to vote for Terry McAuliffe. I assumed it was just sent through some cheap mailing house in California and that Jenni really lives in Annandale.

What I think is funny are the texts. They are all from boomer women named Linda, Judy, Donna, Janet and most are from DC's 202 area code. They could be from liberal women in DC who are volunteering for the McAuliffe campaign because their husbands knew him at Catholic U Law School or knew Bill Clinton at Georgetown undergrad. Several today said something like: "President Biden is coming to Northern Virginia today! (Boomer lady name) with the Democrats inviting you to join President Biden and Terry McAuliffe in Arlington. 'Doors open' at 5 pm."

Poor boomer ladies. No one told them that Biden will be at a park and there are no "doors" at the park.

I always respond the same way: I will be in touch with you on November 3.

The poor dears generally respond with a perky: "Thank you!!!!"

So, you make your decision about voting and people in general by their names? Really? And you are judging us?

I am a BOOMER, yes, who wrote postcards, did cold calling, and did canvassing. I am not your "poor dear." I don't sit at home watching the View and writing cards while sipping tea. How condescending and ignorant. I am a college professor who cares about
1. Your taxes
2. Your public education
3. Gun sense legislation
4. Your voting right
5. Your health care
6. Your democracy...very much at stake in your state.
The people I know who write these are teachers, lawyers, veterarians, business owners, federal workers, engineers, coders, and social media managers.

You are offended by boomer names? Great, we will sign the next round with Madison, Brynnleigh, Crystal, and Ashley. 2 of these ladies, with names like this, named their kids Ruth and Eleanor, BTW.
I live in another state, and I can assure you that your election very much affects all of us, and that is what the postcards remind everyone of. Looks like these ladies are far more aware of what's going on than this generation.

Jenni doesn't live in Annandale. She likely is a MomsDemandAction volunteer from California, or Iwillvote.com volunteer or anyone of many groups that towed the line for the last 4 years trying to save this country. Look at Georgia...do you think that didn't take effort from these tireless volunteers? If you vote the opposite way as a result of receiving a postcard (?), then you will deserve Trump 2.0. But, we don't. Wake up.

You are, indeed, a poor dear if you think I make a voting decision based on a text from an out of state college professor who is sticking their nose into my commonwealth's business.

If you don't understand why the Virginia elections on Nov 2 matter on the national level, then this argument and thread are too much above your understanding. And, I guess this is the whole problem right now- an incredible degree of stupidity which will cost this entire nation.

I suppose you have no issue with Trump sticking his nose in, is that correct?

DP. You prove your outsider ignorance by not knowing that Trump has not stuck his nose anywhere in Virginia.
National politicians who have stuck their noses in Virginia are Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Bill Clinton, Mark Warner and the five fine young Democrats who posed as proud boys by a Youngkin bus.

The Nazi also nobodies who stuck their noses in Virginia are you and your fellow travelers.

When you start paying Vurginiavtaxrs or are elected to National Femicratic office, you can have a say in local politics. Otherwise, keep cleaning the space in your head where Trump lives rent free.

My ignorance,huh? Are you absolutely sure you aren't the ignorant one?

No Dems outside of a bus, that was the Lincoln Project, sweetheart. They
are Republicans.

Also...Trump is absolutely involved:

Trump to headline call-in rally before Election Day for Virginia GOP ticket, former Trump state campaign chair says

And for the record, no one on this end has any problem with Dems stumping for McAuliffe. Only you do (!) as you still have zero idea how important this election is. You really just don't understand how this all works. You have just hours to get it together to save your state and the country.

Lincoln Project spends all their money opposing GOP candidates. They are not Republicans. They have not been Republicans for years. How much money has Lincoln Project spent supporting GOP candidates?

And, those were definitely Dem staffers standing in front of that bus. Some have been identified.

Selena Montgomery — is that you trolling the white mommies? Go to the next tab for Noom. It will be better for you.

+100

The Lincoln Project made a point to jump on this grenade for the McAuliffe campaign. They are not Republicans in the slightest. Steve Schmidt is the one responsible for bringing Sarah Palin onto the McCain ticket. He then shat all over her after the fact

I am also a Boomer. I am voting on the issues listed. Unlike PP, however, I live in Virginia.

Youngkin voter.

Same. With Y on all of the above, plus I’d just like these smug race baiting defund-the-police wackos to have a slice of humble pie.

I haven’t received postcards but about twenty texts in the last two weeks from out of state people telling me why I should vote for McAullife. I gave responded to them “Back to you on Nov 3.” When Youngkin winds I will be back to them with a carefully crafted message brimming with gloat and opprobrium.

Apparently your vote is also based on whether a concerted citizen sent you a piece of mail. That’s a level of petty I just can’t even imagine.

There's no return address on any. These come from private individuals. You can mail it to the abyss, my friend. No one cares.

Nope! They are Republicans. They are a rare Repubs who oppose Trump, which is what the R party should be -before the cult take over. There is no Republican party, just a Trump party. Not one member is a Democrat, and nope, wrong again...not one Democrat staffer. You literally just made that up.

Again, not at all true. Not one has been identified. You are literally lying right now.

Check your reading. Pp got texts, not postcards.

You know all of the tv/mail/internet ads are financed by people outside of your community, right? Are you as mad at them too?

Are you kidding? Those are insanely annoying!!! I actually grew up in Iowa, hating political ads is my birthright.

Great - then a handwritten postcard from an individual from another state would logically be less upsetting that the fact that big corporations pump money into Super PACs to send you ads/mail/flyers, etc on how to vote in your community, no?

At least I understand the corporation’s profit motive. I find the faux altruism of postcard writers more grating. It’s not your business, so keep out.

My favorite texts are the ones who think they are addressing my Democrat husband. I let them know they have reached his staunchly conservative wife who has already cast her vote for Youngkin. The horror they express is hilarious
