Dems have PTSD from '16. Here is some great news

Good poll numbers are always nice but there is still always some nervous doubt. Well here is a stat even better than polls. In Pennsylvania 150,000 Democratic absentee ballots have been requested FROM VOTERS WHO SAT OUT THE 2016 ELECTION. Now that is something you can sink your teeth in. Trump f-ed himself by attacking early and mail in voting, traditionally a GOP advantage. Now they are the ones who will be standing in line for hours with a pandemic raging. I am confident we will win. But we should not be satisfied with just winning. MAMBA MENTALITY. We are going to crush the GOP in the biggest landslide in American political history. Anything short of that will be a bit of a disappointment for me.

I am editing my comment. I was wrong about the absentee ballot numbers for PA. It isn’t 150,000. It is 175,000!

As long as nobody messes with the ballots, turnout is going to be off the charts.
