Here in OC California, my highest priority is to see Katie Porter reelected. Aside from that, I'll be looking at every race across the country to see how many candidates supporting the big lie will be defeated. Will we still have a democracy or a dystopian fascist state?
The "wrong direction" poll question should be eliminated. When I say the country is going in the wrong direction, it's certainly not because of what Biden and the Dems are doing. It's because of the Supreme Court, the Big Lie, the gun problem, the increasing hate and racism, the media's tendency to false equivalence and both-sidesism, etc. etc.
I am tempted to just watch movies all day long on November 8. When I wake up on November 9, I will be surprised. I'll know then if my military career is something to be proud of or if my loyalty to democracy and western values was really worth it. My life as a soldier and as a federal employee will have been a delusion if the Republicans take over the Senate. My confidence in the righteousness of my country will be bolstered if the Democrats gain in the Senate. November 8 is much more to me than just another election, it is a validation (or not) of my service to this country.
Out here in Utah I’m holding my breath for Evan McMullin to oust Mike Lee. Hoping for Beto in TX, hoping for Stacey in GA, and hoping for anyone but Sarah Palin and for MTG to just resign 😂😂
I vote by mail and did so last Tuesday. I am currently disabled and had my care-giver drive my ballot to the post office and hand it to a postal employee.
On election night, I’m watching OH, WI, and NC senate races. Democratic chances are great. I’ve moved away from the ya-ya, too confusing and I’m wary of many polls.
Ari, I’d love to see you in L.A., San Diego, or anywhere betwixt the two!
Ari I need to remark about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. He went to school on Affirmative Action. But he doesn't want it for others. This needs to be brought out. He needs to recuse himself for having an opinion.
As far as I'm concerned, democracy is *always* on the ballot. As the great Cyndi Lauper said in your interview with her, "We're Americans. We're supposed to be involved [politically]." Racism, fear, voter suppression etc. in elections are not new; yet, "we" (certainly not Blacks folks) sometimes act surprised, with the oft-heard "This is not who were are" refrain. 🙄
On election night and the days thereafter, I'll be more interested in results. And yes, I try to avoid the hyperbole and hyperventilating around polling of some political pundits and "journalists." As you indicated, those who operate at the margins of society are hurt the most when any kind.of major economic shift occurs. They are not interested in polls; I feel they're gonna "vote their stomachs," as that is *the* basic human need for survival.🍞👩🏽🍳
Hello Ari and everyone, Happy Tuesday and I hope that everyone is having a good day 😃
I don’t know what to think in terms who will be taking over the House and Senate... I will watch Steve Kornacki’s analysis on the election (as Fab 5 Freddy would describe Steve Kornacki, “ Grand Master Math”).
The main thing right now is for lots of people to vote 🗳
What are you watching for on Election Night? I am hoping that Democrats will remain the majority. I am so afraid of what the fascists far right wingers will do to this country if they take over.
A city or venue I will like you to visit in the future: any city in the NJ/NY/CT tri-state area or even Philadelphia PA is ok with me 😃
Reminder: for those of us that have not voted, please make sure to vote 🗳
And one more thing: I got an email from Amazon stating that I will receive a copy of your book between December 2nd and 5th…yay! So excited 😆
Can't we all sue trump for the mental anguish and anxiety he causes by the big lie. It keeps me up at night. Or Maybe all the election workers who have been threatened and harassed
Hi Ari. I’m new to your network and really enjoy your show. It is less sensational than coverage on other networks and I appreciate the legal aspect. Plus, your positive outlook really helps in these times. Love your Maverick series! So on Election Day and night, I’m looking for just the facts, as they come through. I like historical context, but hate the programming that uses scare tactics for viewers. It’s counterproductive and condescending. You keep it real and it’s truly appreciated!!
I hope and pray for democracy and Truth to win out! I will be watching election results while holding my breath! Arizona's going to be a tough one to call on time because of so many people having to quit because of threats--it's going to be a rough ride
Hi everyone -- will reply to some comments below...

Democrats will win both the Senate and the house the republicans are going to get the shock of their lives just watch

Don't understate the power of the abortion issue. Many Republican women share the opinion of
Democrats who support Roe v Wade and want it restored.
