::BUMPED::  Interestingly, as expected, the various social media platforms and internet connectivity therein are sketchy and intermittent as the critical USA midterm election nears.

As we have done in the past, today we solicit reader feedback on the sentiment in/around your area as the midterm election nears. What is your local sense of the tone, voter intent, enthusiasm or lack therein, in the last 72 48 hours before election day on Tuesday.

This request comes with a very important and specific qualifier, DO NOT USE social media to gauge or report your sense of where things stand.  The reasoning is simple; the algorithm you are exposed to is not necessarily the reality of your environment.  The information being fed into the data system that holds your specific attributes, is purchased and created specifically to provide you a specific sense.

Whether you realize it or not, your algorithm is the culmination of specific identifiable definitions of your personage and your interests.  That algorithm id may or may not represent you, but it is sold and used in order to influence your decision-making on a variety of aspects from commerce (purchasing decisions) to behavioral modification (influences).

As a consequence, the best view of the reality in your vicinity is what you personally experience in real life, not during your travels on the internet.  With that thought in mind, what is your sense of the voting intent in/around your proximity?

From my own travels what I can identify with ease is the promoted narrative about abundant enthusiasm for leftist candidates is mostly false.  I cannot identify any substantive enthusiasm to vote for the communist agenda of the Democrat Socialists or any other manufactured policy of the political left in real life.

Sure, online and in the media, there is a specific pipeline of information operating at maximum output to promote a blue wave premise.  However, in real life -during my travels- I do not see that same level of enthusiasm claimed by oppositional advocates.

To the contrary, the datapoints and behavior of the political left indicate they are ‘trying’ to generate the illusion of something, as well as create some self-fulfilling prophecies.  The appearances of President Obama in Detroit on behalf of Al-Sayed is an example.  Obama is only deployed to get out the black vote. If the Muslim Brotherhood candidate was ahead in Michigan, Obama simply wouldn’t be there.

Additionally, the proverbial lawn sign indicators do not lend favor to a blue wave narrative.

That said, Georgia and Texas will be interesting to watch play out.  Both of those states have been targeted by the various BLM, and DSA level operatives for several years.  However, while they have succeeded in Georgia, they have not had a similar success in Texas – despite the lone star state being specifically vulnerable due to the Bush camp’s comfort with the larger socialist cause.

President Trump, DHS, ICE, DOJ and HSI have done all they can to trigger fear amid the professional population of election operatives who deploy fraudulent ballot operations as part of their electoral strategy.  The Lawfare alliance has been spending billions to counteract this election integrity operation.  It is yet to be determined which one will ultimately end up tipping the scale amid the various illegal voter systems.

What we can judge with some accuracy is the sense in our vicinity.  What is the intent of our family? What do our neighbors say? What is the sense within our local community? These are measures of real sentiments that can be adequately assembled to provide a larger predictive sense.

Taking the social media network and subsequent algorithmic feed out of the equation, what is the reality of the sentiment in your area as best it can be judged?
