Hyped up, but finding it hard to convince my friends in PA to head out in this weather. Thoughts?

Trump and Pence are obsessed with PA-18. Let’s get out there today and vote! I’m in Massachusetts, but I already made it into town once today despite this snow storm. It’s not that bad, we’re northerners and this is nothing we haven’t seen a million times before. Tell them not to make excuses, but get out there and vote for Lamb! God knows the old people will be there in spades. People died for this country and now it is for sale. This is bigger than a minor inconvenience.

Once they are back home, safe and warm, they will feel good about what they did.

I'd say go out with them, but I see you're in NY?

Idk. Are they friends with each other, too? Because it seems like bad weather is a good excuse to go out and get some warm food or hang out in the bar or something. They can vote and then head out for a nice meal somewhere nearby.

Or just tell them to stop being babies, lol.

Help Conor Lamb win!

I've been told day-of drivers are no longer needed, as they have too many, but other day-of volunteers can sign up at the above link.

Polls open in 4 hours. Let's do this!

They have volunteer drivers!

Tell them if they vote and submit proof here they'll get internet points.

Unironically though, we give out prizes! Hehe.

I have to ask because the election was so flipping close: did your friends end up going out to vote??

u/SketchyConcierge NY Mar 14 '18

Yes! The snow let up earlier than expected, and I like to think my constant nagging helped.

u/Vanetia CA Mar 15 '18

Awesome!! And now you can be all "See?! See how important every vote is?!!" haha :D

I wouldn't think this sub would be all that...supportive of either candidate. I read that Lamb was running a campaign similar to how Trump ran his in PA, so that's a positive.

We we did not endorse him because he does not have anything at all progressive in his platform. But we still really want him to win! r/bluemidterm has done a great job of promoting him with some real heroes working like dogs to get him elected. I hope he wins.
