Run like we're 10 points down in every district.
Personal contact wins votes. Votes win precincts. Precincts win districts.
We can watch it happen or make it happen. Everyone can help in some way.
You?

(10,437 posts)and that is the very best motivator I know of,
What we ALL MUST DO:
1. work with local democratic committee
2. volunteer time and contribute to elect democratic candidates at every level
3. work to GOTV on Nov 6th
handwringing won't make it happen but the above will

(3,165 posts)then we have to work even harder and more effectively.
There are a hell of a lot more of us than them, more than enough to overcome any attempts at disenfranchisement or other dirty deeds if enough of us (and there ARE enough of us) get to the polls.
There ain't no such thing as a fair fight.

(3,165 posts)The idiot whisperers are *not* idiots.
No matter how much someone may loath Kushner, he ran a brilliant backroom operation. No matter how much a person may hate the President, he is a master at getting his message out and for all the asinine flaming about how much he golfs, he also does more to fire up the base than anybody, on either side, in our lifetimes.
They won last time as much because we underestimated them- leaders and followers alike - as they did due to any outside hacking or disruption.
We got our asses handed to us in WW2 until we stopped underestimating Rommel.

(13,592 posts)I fear many are going to show up to vote and be told they've been purged from the voter rolls.
This is a story that hasn't been given nearly enough scrutiny and outrage by our side.

INdemo
(6,994 posts)They are boasting that the Kavanagh circus really hurt Democrats and now Republicans are within 2 points of keeping the House by .Remember shows like Chuckie Todd's Daily meet the Republicans is well scripted by the Comcast producers and so much so Im not watching any of them... Steve Kornacki keeps saying "The Democrats need 23 seats" and Republicans are gaining (Kornacki is a Right wing shill)
Fort Wayne news papers and local TV ( owned by rightwing hacks) are boosting Mike Braun put Donnelly on edge and on defense That was BS Donnelly.. won the debate and put Mike Braun in his place talking about ACA and pre-existing conditions...
I think we will win but we cant take our eyes off the prize and watch every move these Republican County Clerks make because if they find even the slightest way to cheat they will and they now have help from the Russians
so I'll watch Rachel and Lawrence but these other Comcast ,Rightwing echo's are just too much
Im phone banking for Donnelly and our Democratic Congressional challenger Mel Hall.
