decent messaging from a suprisingly progressive and quality southern governor.
I am in this general area. if NCs votes go to kamala it really is over - trump had better be on a flight to russia.
I was in NC when Obama took the state in 2008 so I saw the state vibe. this go around friends there tell me, while not as “joyful” as for obama, the “blue NC vote” seems pretty resolute in showing up.
I was in NC and remember the energy in 2008 (tbf, I was in college so my bubble was definitely all-in for Obama).
I was also in NC in 2012 when the state voted to pass Amendment 1, making gay marriage illegal in the state’s constitution. Everyone I knew was against it, but because that was true for them too, no one could imagine it passing and so they didn’t even bother to vote. 35% turnout with 61% voting for bigotry.
All that to say, if you’re in North Carolina, go fucking vote. It doesn’t matter if your district is gerrymandered to hell and there’s no chance of it going blue; don’t let that make you apathetic. Your vote matters for how the state assigns its electoral college votes!
Even if the district is gerrymandered ya can still cockblock on statewide elections, gerrymandering is rather meaningless if they cant do anything with it.
I’m over in AL and I wish that my state was even on the road toward dragging our state forward. Maybe someday we can kick Kay Ivey to the curb and get a governor like NC.
I think he’s the type of executive any state would want. he’s an ideal “for the now” governor and I am personally thankful we had him while I was in NC. I know others who will miss him also.
edit to say: I have family in AL who I dont talk with because of <insert shitty political opinion here>. I wish you the best AL and you personally, trev.
