Simon, we really need you. Thanks for keeping us informed of the good stuff. The bad stuff we can hear everywhere. I really appreciate all suggestions for what we can do. We are not helpless; please keep reminding us!
Thanks for those who saw my project Facebook group "A Biden a Day" previously - almost 1000 members! One post a day, everyone tagged to remind us to share good Biden content! Check it out and join if you haven't! https://www.facebook.com/groups/613417987640841
Thank you for all you do to keep your readers in the know and hope-filled. I am very grateful and wish you and your family a healthy and happy new year.
It was just so good to listen to you, Simon! You are so real. . . genuine and sincere. Smart and wise, too! Attracting and inspiring. I believe you and trust you. I want to tell everyone about you and your vision, your strategies and your gratitude. Golden Age? Why not? Lucky me to have been born during WW II and to still be alive today! A very good night, indeed! Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much for the hope/ium! Things have felt dark.. this dark time of year. Yes, can’t let the maga traitors poison the airwaves and our own 🧠 thinking! 🙈🙉. I’m forwarding this to all in my circle. Really needed that. Blessings, and happy solstice!🙏🏼🎄💫🌏
Do not apologize for giving places to help. It saves me on days a discouragement. I face another direction, do something positive and I begin to feel hope for a better future.
Simon, I really needed to hear your message on anxiety and worry and turning that into action. Sometimes I just freeze with fear of what's happening in our politics . Trying to find the balance of staying informed without losing my sanity. I'm so grateful I found Hopium. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you Simon. I only listen to your polling data. I don’t pay attention to msm. I also make sure I listen to uplifting and hopeful commentaries such as Meidas Touch…. etc.
Simon , I discovered you by accident and so glad I did I’m a glass half empty type and your posts help keep me hopeful . I also recommend you to others who are feeling the same. I am hoping for a good year and will be working the upcoming primary in California . Thanks.
Thanks for keeping our spirits up as we head into a true do-or-die campaign. This campaign needs to be pro-Biden|Harris, not just anti-Trump. Your facts, perspectives and optimism show the way.
Simon, I do appreciate your positive attitude toward what we are facing in 2024, but I gotta say that it is really difficult for me to fully support the Biden administration when literally thousands of people are dying in Gaza and the Israeli government is endangering its own people and Jews around the world. Biden has not stepped up as a peacemaker and that is extremely sad and dangerous. I am spending a lot of my time as an organizer in Vermont getting volunteers to work in key swing states to elect Dems up and down the ballot, but as far as Biden is concerned all of his accomplishments are tarnished with his stance on the war in Gaza. I just can't be a cheerleader for him.
Hear you Rebecca, but keep in mind as you work through all of this that Biden did in fact negotiate a cease fire, one that Hamas walked away from, as they walked away from the cease fire negotiated in 2021. That the fighting resumed is the fault of Hamas, and those who care about this conflict simply place far more of the blame on what is happening in Gaza on Hamas. I am not leaving Bibi and his government harmless, and have repeatedly called for the ouster of Bibi and a new and more responsible government to form in Israel. This is something Biden has now called for too. But the idea that what is happening in Gaza is due to Israel and the US, and not also Hamas/Iran/Russia is just not in touch with the reality of what's happening here. We had a cease fire, aide was flowing in and Hamas walked away, and began once again using the 2m people of Gaza as human shields. They deserve far more blame and public criticism for is happening in my view. But hear you, this is a very hard and challenging situation, and I for one am proud of the role Biden has played so far.
This is really messy, but I think Simon is right about Hamas, Iran, and Russia. That’s a really ugly triangle. I wish Bibi and his right-wing cronies were not in charge. Extremists make negotiations much more difficult. Look no further than our own House of Representatives under the leadership of a religious zealot and MAGA supporter.Not good.
I agree Susan it is tragic situation no matter how we look at it. But it good to have a civil, decent, intelligent community to talk with. Thanks for being there.
With the new redistricting in NYState and the Biden impeachment stupidity there will be options to flip R seats.
Thank you for keeping my spirits up and giving me hope!

We need Simon leading the way all day every day up until Election Day.

Simon thank you for your work. I confess I have been struggling lately to remain hopeful.
Thanks for your Hopium, excellent year-end report and calm. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Totally agree that Hamas is at fault as well. Thanks for your thoughtful response.
