GO GET HIM KAMALA!

Agree with her plan to show up at ABC for debate alone! Remember Ossoff did that for GA Senate debate! Keep up the pressure! TFG is scared and a coward!

Just in Scott “Earlier absentee ballot deadlines mean discarded votes, including 1,000 in North Carolina” by USA Today

Kamala is doing a great job addressing tfg & those who don’t represent America.🇺🇸

You called it! Kamala Harris. Just do like Senator Ossoff did, show up for the debate anyway. Donald Trump is a coward.

I was “there” and what a thrill! Oh, and the woman has true gravitas in equal measure to her joyousness. It is beautiful to see.

That's awesome Naima--have you felt this energy in Georgia before around elections?

I felt a lot personally in my own commitment to working to elect Warnock and Ossoff in 2020, sending so many postcards. But this election is its own phenomenon, like it has an organic life of its own. The inclusivity is amazing. I loved the poster in America’s guest video: not one more deportation! We have this wonderful opportunity to transform together and we are being carried and carrying each other all at once. The feeling is so powerful and palpable that I often don’t have words. It is different and even more alive than Obama’s first election.

I loved Obama but the existential threat wasn't there when we elected him. Now our country and our future is at stake. I got tears in my eyes reading your post. Finally, some hope and poisitivity.

Kamala is a professional woman attorney. Of course she can very smoothly slip into that ‘persona’ and leave most people speechless who are not court room observers or professionals involved w court room exchanges.

Trump’s lack of courtroom protocol and decorum was pretty awful to watch/listen to earlier today. He could not stop running at the mouth making his situation even more embarrassing, clearly displaying his IGNORANCE.. as well as his lack of basic good manners.

We MUST CONTINUE our phone banking and other crucial outreach to all US citizens, encouraging and assisting everyone to VOTE in this election. We must SQUASH any further dreams he has of returning to the White House.

She also said this is a close race where we are the underdogs and invited everyone to get involved with the campaign. Marc Elias has been sounding the alarm about election boards in battleground states refusing to certify to overturn the results of the election. The best thing we can all do is our part to push the margins of victory as high as possible.

Totally. Like Elizabeth Warren stated last night, we must have such huge numbers in pro-Harris votes that it’s almost irrefutable.

This 2021 post from Democracy Docket explains how elections are certified from the ground level up. As a volunteer election worker in my small Massachusetts town, I have witnessed this at the most local level. I'm pretty sure that Democracy Docket and many other organizations -- not to mention the Harris campaign -- will be monitoring this in the districts and states that are likely to cause trouble. https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/after-election-day-the-basics-of-election-certification/

Referring to him as “Donald” is considered by those who know him to be a sure fire way to get under his skin. So glad to see this. And the gloves aren’t off, I think in her case they were never even on.

Call him Donald it’s his name & I understand he hates to be called Donald.

“Donny” is a pretty good one. In normal times - well, with anyone else ever it would have been the usual feigned political politeness and dubious sincerity, something like, “Mr. Trump” I’m thinkin?

That was the most high-energy political rally I've ever seen, and my political activism goes back to JFK when I was a sophomore in HS.

My biggest issue with my party has been fear of offending or appearing to be mean and because of allowing him to go unchecked we now have the threat of project 2025. Kamala addressing every single bit of his stupidity, ignorant comments, asinine rants, and bullying is EXACTLY what should have been happening all along. The fire that has been lit for the party is incredible. 🧡

Thanks for keeping up on the coverage to keep us informed, Scott.

Thank you Michelle for reading and I agree that it is time to confront everything head on!!!

There was so much POSITIVE energy there tonight! Kamala is all about going forward. lowercased don continues to distance himself from Project 2025 and now call it Agenda 47. Kamala needs to keep bringing it up as it really gets under his skin. THERE IS HOPE and JOY with Kamala. I am excited to see who she picks for her running mate.

Yes. Agenda 47 is another prong on the ultra conservative Authoritarian Theocracy plan that has purchased our Office of The President of the United States!!! Another step in the demise of our constitutional democracy.

Yes, I wish the Dems would refer more often to the bipartisan border security bill that coward Mike Johnson killed on trump's orders. Remind America that if it were such a big issue for the conservatives, they wouldn't have played politics with it
