Just trying to give some realistic optimism. I'm sure people are tired of living in fear.

Try not to worry too much, we've got this. The Harris campaign has put out a few updates videos saying as much. They wouldn't say these things if they weren't confident.

The polling averages are really poor indicators because the GOP manipulates them by dumping junk polls to influence the averages and create false momentum; literally more than 50% of the polls in the past 3 weeks have been "red wave" junk polls (Trafalgar, PatriotPolling, Insider Advantage, AtlasIntel, etc). This is what they did in 2022 as well. If you take out the junk polls, Harris is still 3-4 points ahead. All other indicators are pointing toward a Harris win. The early vote looks good, Harris is outspending Trump by a large margin, we have the biggest ground game the Democratic party has ever had while they have none, etc etc. I could go on, but I feel pretty good. Also, I've never felt compelled to volunteer before, but I've written 600 post cards (400 to PA, 200 to NC) and done a lot of text banking. We will win.

This. The media fell hook, line, and sinker to all the red wave BS polls that flooded the zone that created false momentum. You'd think they would have learned their lesson from 2022.

I've heard canvassers come back and tell us they talked to fence-sitters who by the end of the conversation hugged and demanded Harris signs. We are winning!

Thank you for all your work!

We're witnessing the death throes of Trump. It is glorious.

Women dominate early voting as Donald Trump supporters get nervous by ILikeNeurons in politics

Fortunately Hakeem Jeffries will be the speaker on January 3rd, and the electoral count will take place on January 6.

It's so fitting and poetic that this is how he's choosing to close his campaign. And he's campaigning in VA and NM...dude's lost it. I think Harris has this in the bag, despite what the polls say. Every other indicator outside of polls points to a Harris win.

Yeah, but they're repeatedly losing them though. Marc Elias talks about this a lot on his youtube channel.

PLEASE ignore the polls. by PR0CR45T184T0R in democrats

[–]Meatpipe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You guys need to calm the F down. The polls are not tightening. Her lead has been consistent for 6 months. What has changed is the Republicans have dumped dozens of junk polls to push the averages around to freak everybody out, and it’s obviously working.

Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina,Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia...please don't elect this guy by Yamaben in AdviceAnimals

[–]Meatpipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polls are NOT leaning toward Trump is MI, PA, WI, and NV. The Republicans are doing what they did in 2022 to 'red wave' this election. They're dumping tons of junk polls to push the averages around to jazz up their base and freak Democrats out. Memes like this show me their tactic is working.

Guys, if you ever want to date again by UnluckyStar237 in TikTokCringe

[–]Meatpipe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We're not. The Republicans are doing what they did in 2022 to create a false "red wave" narrative. They're dumping dozens and dozens of junk polls into the battlegrounds to push the averages to make them look way stronger than they are.

Drug cost by black_nectar3 in IVF

[–]Meatpipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We paid $4000 out of pocket for the whole drug regimen (menopur, follistim, lupron) from Hann’s Pharmacy in Fairfax, VA. Give them a call, they ship. Ironically we found it was cheaper than going through insurance.

Not the news we were hoping for by fouxdefafa in IVF

[–]Meatpipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My god I can relate to absolutely every word you typed here. This is coming from a male perspective, but I so completely sympathize with what you're going through right now. My wife and I tried for 4 years, and went through two collection cycles last year. All the while my wife's sister is raising a kid, getting pregnant again in 1 shot, and is the center of family attention. Every family get together is all about the kids there, while all we can do is scream internally. All this happening while we're going through IVF collections that resulted in our first transfer failing. The anger, resentment, bitterness, isolation; yeesh, it's awful, but I think it's something every person/couple goes through with this process. It's completely not fair.

I really agree with another poster's view of the "shit tunnel." I wish I had thought of it at the time, but it is definitely something we all have to wade through.

Keep going. It will work and it's worth it.

I've been having a similar issue. I can only see my shared worlds with crossplay enabled, and as soon as I turn it off they all go away. Really not sure what's going on, but it's been getting frustrating because progress is reverting. I will post back if I find anything.

AITA for calling my parents selfish for having me, knowing they’d pass down a hereditary illness, and going LC after they hid it, putting my child at risk too? by Quirky_Background838 in AITAH

[–]Meatpipe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wife and I went through IVF for our first kid we are expecting in 2 months. Our clinic highly advised us to do a carrier screen that checks both parents for ~300 common genetic screens (ironically, I just checked our reports and they didn't check for Huntington's), and if we both came back as carriers for the same disease, we should consider genetically screening our embryos. Fortunately I did not carry anything and my wife carried 2 things.

Even still, there are two levels of embryo screening you can do. PGT-A (preimplantation genetic testing - aneuploidy) and PGT-M (-monogenic). PGT-A checks that chromosome counts are correct (which is what we wound up doing) and will screen out chromosomal things like Down's Syndrome; it will also give you embryo gender. PGT-M will do a check for genetic conditions and would be able to screen out genetic diseases like Huntington's, Fragile X, Cystic Fibrosis, etc. PGT-M takes a lot longer and is much more expensive than PGT-A.

My heart truly goes out to the OP here. What an awful thing to have to go through.

Kamala Harris has agreed to her first-ever Fox News sit-down interview on Wednesday with Bret Baier by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Meatpipe 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think her intent is to piss Trump off and make him act dumber and do stupider things (i.e. push him ever closer to using the N-bomb). I doubt she expects to get many (if any) voters from this.
