lotradecoin login View Date:2024-12-25 21:02:08
As citizens across the country head to the polls on Election Day, the muppets from Sesame Street are reaching out to their followers on social media to provide comfort.
Starting Nov. 2, which was Cookie Monster’s birthday, Sesame Street posted a photo of the muppet on X, formerly Twitter, with the following message: “Just a reminder that you are doing your best, and that’s more than enough,” the post reads. “It’s okay to take it one day at a time.”
Many of other Sesame Street characters also posted on their accounts as early voters cast their ballots for the 2024 presidential election.
“Whenever I feel overwhelmed, my Mommy tells me to go outside, take a deep breath, and enjoy a moment in nature,” Mr. Snuffleupagus posted.
“I am proud of you, my friend," Grover wrote in his own post. "I just needed to let you know!”

Grover says ‘it's okay to feel anxious’
Although our friends at Sesame Street have shared words of encouragement, the muppets also want to acknowledge that many voters may feel a little uneasy about the election.
“We all face moments when things feel overwhelming, and that’s okay. Remember, you are not alone,” Sesame Street's post reads.
In the Nov. 4 post, Grover is pictured with the words, “it's okay to feel anxious”.
Followers shared their feelings with the muppet under the post.
“Oh, Grover. I am more than just anxious,” a X user wrote. “But thank you for listening. Now, where's Cookie Monster... stress-eating may help.”
Others thanked the Sesame Street crew for always being there when we need them.
“Definitely not Sesame Street about to make me cry,” the user wrote. “Thanks, guys! Who knew we’d still look towards our childhood homies for reassurance that everything was gonna be ok.”
“I was anxious about feeling anxious, but now I'm feeling a little better,” another user wrote “Thanks, Sesame Street.”
Elmo ‘loves you’ a little more during Election Day
On Monday, Elmo posted a message to his followers on X.
“Hi friend! Elmo loves you,” he wrote in the post. “And Elmo will remind you every day if you need him to.”
And as election week began, social media users thanked Elmo for the post.
“Elmo, Buddy it’s gonna be a rough week for the world whilst we wait for votes to be counted,” one user wrote. “Stick around, we need some wholesome content!”
With the election weighing on everyone’s minds, a X user asked Elmo if he voted.
“Thanks @elmo. Today was a good day to hear that! Have you voted yet?” the user asked.
Although many adults expressed feeling anxious about this year’s election, Sesame Street received a unanimous vote for always showing that they care.
“Thanks Elmo, we're all having a rough time, but it feels good to know you still care. We all love you, too!” the X user wrote.
