A lot of what needs to be done is making sure that the Harris win is large enough that you can’t easily claim that a handful of ballots should be tossed and change the outcome. That means:

  • Check your voter registration — part of the Republican strategy has long been invalidating registrations so people can’t vote
  • Volunteer — nothing in the world quite like talking to people.
  • Donate — money is used for everything from ads to voter turnout operations
  • Organize; be prepared to turn out with others in your community to actively object to any effort to ignore your votes

    And it will continue to be a thing. They’ll keep trying. But we need to keep people aware that they won’t stop trying. But their ranks will continue to fall. We just need to do what we can to make sure that we do all we can to help that process along.

    For what it’s worth, Biden has grown and moved left over the course of his political career, and that’s a good thing. We should give credit where it’s due. Yeah, he wasn’t perfect by any means, but he did save democracy for another 4 years. If we need to fight it 4 years at a time, so be it. But he did a good job with what he had vs the expectations. He got a lot done considering what he was working against, and honestly I’m proud of him for it. That being said, we need to move on to continue to progress.

      biden et. al along w the republicans have enacted nearly 75% of project 2025’s recommendations since 1980.

      For what it’s worth, Biden has grown and moved left over the course of his political career …

      biden is currently making the wrong decision; it’s seriously fucking up people’s lives; and there’s literally allies and opponents alike telling him he’s making the wrong choice (as he has done before in the examples i cited earlier); but he’s still ignoring all the advice and all the evidence and continuing support the genocide, no matter what the cost and damage it’s doing (again as he had done in the examples i cited earlier).

      biden has not grown or moved; the issues have.
