Hello, fellow Okie.

I know how this state is going to vote. It's been a given every year for nearly six decades. But I'm still gonna vote, as I have in every election since I turned 18. Change doesn't happen if those who want it get discouraged and sit their asses at home.

What has really inspired me this year is the overwhelming majority of Harris-Walz signs in my neighborhood. I stopped counting, but I reckon there are at least thirty of them. I've seen a grand total of five Trump-Vance signs, and three of them are at the same house.

Also, you get much rain last night? It was so good to finally hear thunder again. I had six tenths in my rain gauge this morning!

Update: I stood in line for an hour and a half and cast my ballot. Next time around, I'll remember to request my mail-in ballot on time lol

Wow another Okie!

Crazy storms in the Tulsa area for us btw. And probably why I also see Harris Walz signs. We're about to get a Democrat for a mayor!

I reeeeeeeally envy y'all for that flag. The design is dope.

My house district represented by a Dem so it's not that surprising to see Harris-Walz signs, but it IS surprising to see so many. As someone who grew up in the butt crack of Jackson County in DEEP Republican territory, it's just such a breath of fresh air to be able to live around neighbors who aren't crazy goobers.

CGP Grey hasn't made a video about it because he can't stop staring at it
