Don't buy into the fear mongering

VP Harris will be promoted to President Elect Harris tonight, book it

Get your champagne (or your drink of choice) on ice and get ready to watch a landslide unfold

We won't know all the vote totals tonight but it won't matter, VP Harris will break the 270 barrier and smash the glass ceiling TONIGHT

Check In Thread- Were you afraid

If you were scared check in here and have a nice plate of crow, served with a nice hot glass of MAGA tears!

That debate was great, I loved seeing that smug orange face looking flustered and angry

Are you worried about another debate or looking forward to it? I know Kamala Harris is definitely looking forward to a round two!

For those of you feeling anxious about the debate

Kamala Harris has been preparing with the best debate prep team in the business.

Philippe Reines, who is better on his worst day than Donald Trump is on his best day, has been playing the part of Trump in her mock debates, he didn't hold anything back and Trump would be lucky to be 10% as good as this guy.
Colin Kahl (former Undersecretary of Defense)
Tom Donilon (President Obama’s National Security Adviser)
Tom Nides (former Ambassador to Israel)
Grace Landrieu (Director for Economic Policy and Labor at the National Economic Council and one helped write the Build Back Better Program)
Brian Nelson (former Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence at the Treasury Department
Phil Gordon ( former Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs and Special Assistant to the President and White House Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa, and the Persian Gulf Region under President Obama)
Rebecca Lissner (former Acting Senior Director for Strategic Planning on the National Security Council, helped write President Biden's National Security Strategy and former Director of the Russia Strategy Group
Karen Dunn (one of her Debate Coaches for her prep against Mike Pence, we all remember that one!)
Minyon Moore (former Director of White House political affairs under President Bill Clinton)
Symone Sanders-Townsend (political veteran, author of No, You Shut Up: Speaking Truth to Power and Reclaiming America)

This is going to be a slaughter, I just hope Trump doesn't quit halfway through

Real Gun Control must be done and done fast

We have to act fast and pass meaningful gun control while we have the political will to do it.

While Biden needs to keep his promise to get the weapons of war off of our streets we need to get every handgun out of circulation as that is what is wreaking havoc on our people

No handguns, no high capacity magazines, no assault weapons, no automatic or semi-automatic guns, no bump-stocks, no silencers, no arsenals, no keeping hundreds of rounds of ammo

If you want a gun you should first have to get a license, pass a background check, mental health check, register it, and keep it in a safe and you should only be able to have a musket, hunting gun, or shotgun.

If you want to see why just check out the UK or Australia

The crying will be loud but after a few years people will see the light

Thank you Volunteers

As a life long Democrat I just can't thank all of our amazing volunteers enough.

Today wouldn't be possible without our volunteers and we'd be having a much different discussion right now.

These volunteers worked tirelessly throughout a very exhausting election (especially the past 10 days) and they did it to make America great again!

I'm off to sleep for about a month but just wanted to make sure everyone knows we appreciate every ounce of effort.

2016 Election Review

We're still working on analyzing the mountains of data that have been thrown at us but we've found some interesting trends that escaped our attention.

We are learning what we did right, what we need to improve on, and what we did so wrong we just need to never do it again.

The overwhelming thing that seemed to motivate White Voters like never before was Donald Trump's unabashed racism. I hate to say it but given this it makes perfect sense that the previous two Republican Candidates failed to motivate White Voters because they failed to be racist enough.

We won the vote and lost the election so we're doing almost everything right.

For all of the people saying we need to cater to White Voters more I say we need to do the opposite. We don't need racism to win elections, we just need to sit back and watch Donald Trump steer the Republicans so far to the right that they drive all but the most hardcore racists away from their party.

Our Platform is fine, we won the majority of voters and we will win again if we stay strong.

Have to find a new Barber

I've been going to the same barber for years and have never had a problem with his unabashed support for everyone with an R behind their name but today was too much. He was never enthusiastic about Trump at all (no Trump signs at all and he has the sign of every Republican to run for President since Reagan on his walls)

I was waiting while he finished up with another customer and their conversation turned to how Hillary and Bill are Satan Worshipers and that Trump has to win or God will punish America. I couldn't believe my ears, here is someone that I've known for years and has never bought into any campaign's BS blathering about Wikileaks and Satan Worship.

I got up and left, I'll gladly find another Barber before I give that loon anymore of my money.

Vote in the ballot and vote with your wallets; I'm going to make a conscious effort to only shop Blue from here on out.

How many here work for the Democratic Party?

I know if you're working in a paid position you can't disclose what you're doing but I was just curious as to how many here work for the Democratic Party?

Are you in a paid position or are you a volunteer?

How many are interested but don't know how to get involved?

Can Obama stop all of this

Could Obama come out and force the FBI to announce what "evidence" they have instead of leaving everyone twisting in the wind a week before election day?

Could Obama force them to reveal what they know about Trump?
