Blue Dream

California is one of the bluest states, either third or fourth depending on the source. Sonoma County is one of the bluest counties.

“Sonoma County tends to be very democratic based on voting results in recent elections. Compared to other nearby counties, Sonoma County has more democratic voters. Compared to the nation as a whole, Sonoma County leans more democratic.”

Every one of our neighbors at our condo complex is on our liberal wavelength. There was a couple on the conservative side (MAGA) but they moved to Idaho. We belong to the Santa Rosa Democratic Club and attend the monthly dinners. We do post carding via Zoom meetings and in person. Mrs. side pocket is most active in this, and has been connecting more and more folks to post carding opportunities when they ask “What can we do?”

Postcarding has been proven to be effective. Just one of many examples:

Postcarding was also popular in the Midwest. Postcards to Swing States got its start with a congressional district primary where they ran a randomized control study and found their postcards increased turnout by 1.2%. After a few more promising results, they took their postcard writing national in 2020, supporting 14 swing states with key Senate races with their retro-inspired, state-specific postcards and ended up sending 15.7 million GOTV postcards.

Here’s a postcard link from GoodNewsRoundup: POSTCARDS TO VOTERS

One from Yosef 52 Blue Wave Postcards

As y’all can see, I consider both sides of political issues with equal dispassionate viewpoints. Not.

At the oddly-named venue Sally Tomatoes this afternoon, we will be attending the Blue Wave BBQ which is a fund raiser for the county Democratic Party. We invited two neighbors who have been helping our post carding. Absolutely every political figure will be there. We have attended these for years.

It is probable that I won’t get home before publishing so I’ll queue this up and join you when I can.

I’ll have political and food stories when I return.
