You’ve inspired me to get out and canvas in reno, Nevada this weekend for a two day bus trip with the Harris campaign. I'm skipping out on the pumpkin patch with my toddlers but I know I will regret it if I don’t do my part to protect their futures. I've never done it before but I know it's important work and I'm bringing my mom--also a first time canvasser. Thanks for the motivation and all you do! - Rachel in California.

Hey ! Relatively new listener here. Just heard your 'Is The Media Meeting This Moment' episode. I’ve done 15 Zoom phone-banks for Harris/Walz, so far, talking to people in at least 11 states. I tell people: "That with the cloud-based auto dialer and provided scripts, it’s not difficult. If the phone is not your thing, maybe canvass, put out signs, write post-cards or find what works for you to help!" "It takes more than just voting this time around, get involved and join the efforts to Help Save Democracy, virtually or in person." I lived in Ohio for 55 years, now retired at 63, living in rural Alabama. I'm a Desert Storm Veteran and firmly believe that what happened on January 6 was a violent insurrection. Kudos on the shows awards ! -Tom

feeling so nervous but I’ve found that doing something is so helpful in having a sense of control. Sending postcards to get out the vote with moms rising and knocking doors for our abortion ballot measure.

Hi! I am in a very red state. I alternate between hopeful and incredibly anxious about the election. To feel better, I do something--donate money (often via Oath), write postcards via Mom's Demand, or phone bank. I really do not enjoy phone banking but it feels necessary! This weekend, I am inviting people I barely know to my house to write letters via Vote Forward. Doing something keeps the anxiety away, but it's not always comfortable!

How am I feeling with 26 days until Election Day?? Hopeful, excited, energized but also so scared and nervous! I'm knocking doors, joining zoom meetings, canvassing for local Dems. We've made progress in Iowa and I'm seeing so many more Harris Walz signs in my conservative town. Hoping to flip some seats in the House! 💙💙

today my father-in-law needed talked down off the ledge about Kamala not campaigning in public enough so this podcast was perfect timing. I sent it to him to listen to and I hope he feels better afterwards! Thanks you guys always do such a great job.

hi Brian and Glennis. I have a question about canvassing. I've done it for local campaigns in the past and twice now for the Mondaire Jones campaign in NY. To be honest, I'm not great at it, I'm not the right personality for it and i find it terrifying, just less terrifying than doing nothing. I'm planning to canvass with mom demand action in Pennsylvania next weekend and I'm wondering if either if you know if there is a good crash course somewhere, like maybe on YouTube, to prep myself for the kinds of questions people might have about Kamala. And any other little tips for canvassing would be appreciated. Thanks for all you do. -Becky

omg I’m listening to the post vp debate pod. I’m a mom of 3 and took a step back from work when we had our 3rd. I'm am 1000% more psychotic than I was pre-kids. What fu@&ing world is Vance living in? I really think they want to go back to the 50's when women were relying on mothers little helper to keep up the facade that being a sahm isn't truthfully soul crushing a lot of the time!

Worried about all the chatter about trying to remove Biden. We got away from party leaders choosing the candidate because it was problematic. I see trying ousting Biden (or encouraging him to step down) as a recipe for chaos and a Trump win. We elect an administration for their policies and Supreme Court nominees, not just one person. I’m 58 and have NEVER had a Dem presidential candidate who has been as progressive as I wanted. We are working to bend the arc towards justice - step by step Thanks for your podcast 💖

Also, while I wish that he had announced that he would not run again 2-3 years ago, he didn't. So we have an old white man who is running for president again. He has been in politics his whole life, has tried to hire good people, and is a smart and compassionate man. Vs Trump who is also old and a cheating lying narcissistic man. No contest

Between Kristi Noem and RFK can we please leave the dog killing to Cruella de Vil

I’m pumped up for Kamala! Yes please 🥳

can Tim Walz just meet with hunters and gun owners every 5 days between now and the election? That would be super effective. I’ll ante up my cousins and uncles contact info!!!

French Canadian, who’s obsessed with American politics and only slightly less so with the Good Vibes of the show. Can’t wait for the Vibes Only DNC crossover coverage, keep up the great work!

Hi!!! Wanted to send a note to say how much I love the podcast and to ask a DNC question! Thank you for delivering the best vibes. The way you unpack complex issues makes me feel informed, optimistic, and better equipped to talk policy to other people in my life. I'll be in town for the DNC but not *at* the convention. My husband signed up to volunteer in May and got first priority for volunteer slots, but they were still just directing traffic at the airports ☹️ Any advice for how to *be a part of it* from the outside? At the very least I'm trying to figure out where to get convention merch to remember that we were there for this historic time. Love you, love your show, hope you have an amazing time next week!!! Maybe see you around Chicago!!

I’ve heard about Trump & Vance going on young men influencer podcasts (Nelk Boys, Logan Paul, etc.) for interviews. I feel like this is a good strategy, should Harris & Walz do something similar? I trust their campaigns to best strategize, but this makes me nervous

I live in Alabama and have seen almost no Kamala signs, but also less Trump signs. Also, the Trump signs I have seen are a lot smaller....I would say a more normal sign rather than freakishly large like in past years.

My favorite local sign from Omaha Nebraska is just a big blue dot. 🔵 Good vibes this week- Thanks for a great episode!

medically Trump fits the diagnostic criteria for “malignant narcissism.” The criteria can be easily checked on line. A person with this diagnosis is not presidential material and should be disqualified.

I need a link to the Pasek and Paul voting song! (Can’t find it on YouTube)

Omaha Nebraska has the genius sign of a large blue dot on a white background. They are printed, and backordered too, but it would be an easy DIY option for anyone who is a blue dot in a red or purple state. At least one republican who lost the plot, tried to copy it, but just ended up with a Japanese flag in their yard 🇯🇵 💀
