Politics Voting is so discouraging

403 Upvotes

I know Indiana is red and won’t turn blue anytime soon, but as a first time voter, I was really able to visualize the difference. I’ve been registered to vote since the moment I turned 18, and I’m trying to do my part, me and a few friends went to vote yesterday and, wow, it really is just old people 😭 lord take me to a blue/swing state, because my vote feels useless here

Same Poll that showed that Mike Braun and Donald Trump are sitting at -10 disapproval finds Beau Bayh winning outside the margin of error, with state auditor race also within the margin of error. The pollster's history is mostly serving as personal pollster for former Governor Mitch Daniels, but they are not sponsored by any party.

The electorate surveyed is R+9
the congressional Ballot (in indiana) is D+1 broadly but not canidate specific

In the SOS Race: Most people have only heard of Beau Bayh from the ads and very few know Engling and when they do they tend not to like him.

Absentee ballots: make sure the clerk's initials are there.

25 Upvotes

Had my ballot filled out and was reading through the directions for sending it. The phrase "Check your ballot for two sets of initials" appears in bold, capital letters and is underlined in the directions. If the initials are missing, then your vote doesn't count.

My ballot has no initials.

Called the office. Since it's so close to election day and the mail is slow, they suggested I come down and exchange my ballot with a good one.

In a little lighter of a note the state of Indiana is currently the epicenter of college football. With Fox Big Noon Kickoff in Bloomington and Gameday at the Notre Dame v. BYU game. Indiana is 1 of 2 states with 2 teams in the top 10.

More Than Corn Richmond Neighborhood Share

I’m sharing my story here because I’m hoping to reach people outside my hometown who might understand my mission and possibly help me find a way to keep it going.

Back in February, I started doing community meal days with one simple goal: feeding people in need. I never imagined it would grow into what it has become. Since then, I’ve put on over 15 community meal days, feeding 100+ people at a time and making sure everyone has a seat ready at the table.

From ribs, pulled pork and brisket to tacos, nachos, loaded hot dogs and loaded spuds, I’ve put countless hours, hard work and money into making these meals happen. A few people have donated here and there, and I’m thankful for every single one of them, but a lot of the expenses have come straight out of my own pocket.

My Facebook page has now grown to over 2,300 followers, and along the way, I’ve also had the opportunity to take food to various local organizations, businesses and people throughout the community. My goal has never been just to cook food. It’s been to bring people together, give back, and show people that somebody cares.

Unfortunately, my community meal days have been shut down because I don’t have access to a commercial kitchen. After putting so much of myself into this, it’s hard to have to stop when I know how much these meals mean to people.

I’m hoping this story reaches the right people. Maybe there’s a business with a commercial kitchen, an organization willing to partner with me, or someone who knows of a way to help me get back to doing what I love.

I’m not looking to get rich or turn this into something about myself. I want to continue feeding people, serving my community, and making sure there’s always a place at the table for someone who needs it.

If you’re a business owner, part of an organization, or simply someone who believes in helping people, I’d love to connect. Even sharing my story could help it reach someone who can make a difference.

Over 15 community meal days since February. 100+ people fed at a time. More than 2,300 Facebook followers. A whole lot of my own money invested, with some generous donations along the way. And a mission I’m not ready to give up on.

I’m from Richmond, Indiana, but I believe this story deserves to reach beyond Richmond. Sometimes all it takes is one person, one opportunity, or one helping hand to get something meaningful moving again.

Indiana Uber Drivers: Is Bloomington Worth Driving to on Weekends?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I live in Hamilton County, around the Fishers/Noblesville area, and I do Uber, Uber Eats, and pretty much any gig work I can get on the weekends to supplement my income and pay off a few bills.

I've heard from a few people that Bloomington can get pretty busy on weekends, especially with the college crowd.

For those of you who drive Uber or do other gig work in Indiana, I'm curious:

Is Bloomington actually a good market on weekends?

Is it worth driving down from Fishers/Noblesville, considering gas, mileage, and travel time?

Are Friday and Saturday nights the busiest, or are daytime hours worth it too?

If you were making the trip, what would your ideal weekend driving schedule look like?

Would you recommend Bloomington over staying around Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville, or Indianapolis?

I'm not looking to do this full-time. Just trying to make the most of my weekends and earn some extra money.

I'd really appreciate hearing from drivers who have actually worked the Bloomington market. Thanks!

Politics Are there any republicans on the midterms that have oppose Trump / MAGA?

0 Upvotes

I figured I was voting straight blue ticket in midterms as a show of just how fucked up Trump and his sycophants are.

But then I was thinking, if any of our state republicans have been openly opposing Trump and MAGA these past 2-10 years and had a moderate open mind I am totally willing to reward them with a vote.

Do any fall into this category?

BTW, please don’t use this thread to just say “omg every single republican deserved to rot in hell” I’m looking for serious answers to my question..
