Ugh. A youngkin sign went up in front of our new neighbor's house (that is bold!!!). Everyone I've talked to is freaked out. Hopefully that translates to GOTV. There are definitely way more Youngkin signs than there were Trump signs in 2020. Local Rs arenβt afraid to be seen supporting him. Everyone Iβm friends with is voting for McAuliffe, but no one is excited about it. Iβm worried. π

Indirectly current events related, is anyone else watching the movie about the Oxycontin crisis on Hulu? It's very, very well done. It will make you really angry. But it's very well done No but I should. Relevant to my career a d all that. What's it called?

I'd say there are about as many Youngkin signs as there typically are for any other Republican that isn't Trump. They are, however, bright fu king red so Impossible to ignore.

I agree that they are hard to ignore! I think it makes it seem more skewed too, because at least near me, the amount of Terry signs is minimal. For the election last year, I would say 70% had signs out on my street. Right now there is only one, and it just went up. I am going to find one tomorrow at the farmer's market.

It seems like Terry's team is more focused on voter mobilization. There's a bottom-of-the-script ask about yard signs but the Youngkin people are seriously just bringing them to people unsolicited.

This is such a terrible idea. If I was one of the office workers, I'd refuse. So many safety issues.

In the non-northern areas signs are finally going up and now itβs almost balanced. I think they just hit our local offices the past week or something because there was absolutely nothing before. I also have gotten like 4 postcards in the last two weeks from various groups. I actually wish I could remove myself from their list. I enjoy getting them but Iβm a sure vote and it feels like a waste of resources.

If you tell them you already voted, they won't send volunteers to you again. However, the way lists are generated is largely geographic and so it will just mean a volunteer has 36 doors instead of 37. And WRT post cards, they just send them to everyone and it's at the mercy of USPS.

In 8 years Iβve actually only had volunteers come to my house twice and I could honestly tell them Iβd already voted both times. I also offered them water and a (sealed, packaged) snack and answered the questions they had on my neighborsβ voting status and told them they were wonderful many times. I try and be a good house to visit. Itβs hard to knock on doors.
