@kevindalley @lauren Scarily, the fate of the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 rests in the hands of #Republicans. 😱

I pray #Republican women will vote for #KamalaHarris in #Georgia, #NorthCarolna & #Pennsylvania.

#DonaldTrump will win most of the Southeast (where I live), so my vote against him is irrelevant.

Due to the Electoral College, it statistically will not matter if I vote for #Kamala, as #GOP voters outnumber #Democrats & other political parties combined. 😞

"Poll: Newly popular Harris builds momentum, challenging Trump for the mantle of change
The latest NBC News national poll shows Harris leading Trump 49%-44%, within the margin of error, while Trump holds advantages on the economy, inflation and the border."

Ever since the July 13 assassination attempt against #Trump, he & his allies have promoted unfounded #ConspiracyTheories & blamed #Democrats directly for the violence. The effort appears highly coordinated: From #JDVance to Trump’s sons & #MAGA#Republicans in #Congress, many have used the same rhetoric to declare that Trump’s political opponents sought to have him murdered at his campaign rally in Butler, PA.

Hundreds of fmr #Bush, #McCain & #Romney staffers back #KamalaHarris

The more #Trump attacks #Harris as some kind of radical, the more mainstream #Republicans throw their support behind the #Democrat.

Late last week, the 2 major-party presidential nominees traded notable endorsements. On the one hand, Trump picked up support from independent conspiracy theorist #RFKJr, which didn’t seem to bother #Democrats at all.

"The state of the Republican party is so toxic that previous nominees—even previous presidents—have been unpersoned and read out of the movement.

That’s a portrait of two institutions: One institution in harmony with its legacy and continuing to evolve in such a way as to hold its coalition together. The other institution in a state of convulsion."

A couple of thoughts about the DNC:

- Kamala crushed it. She met then exceeded my expectations
- DNC showed that Democrats have a deep bench of talent
- Tim Walz is coach!
- The party is unified and joyous
- Patriotism is front and center 🇺🇸
- Party's shift to being pro-YIMBY!
- Michelle Obama commands an audience
- The "when they go low, we go high" attitude has been put out to pasture. Thank goodness.
- Lil Jon is Georgia's official hype man 😎
- The party is welcoming

You're not just voting for the USA, you're voting for the rest of the world.
More Trump empowers other autocrats and crushes millions of others' freedoms globally, and denies women/POC/Lgbtq+ their rights and advances everywhere. It means accelerated climate devastation as well.
In the nations that are amongst your very closest allies, we're supporting #democrats and #harriswalz with passion and hope. @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews

"Barack and Michelle Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, delivering back-to-back speeches that eviscerated Donald Trump and urged Americans to reject the Republican nominee once and for all."

“My dad used to have an expression,” he said. “He’d say, ‘Joey, family is the beginning, the middle & the end.’”
#Biden has played many roles over his long career. He was introduced as the “young fella” in his 1988 presidential campaign. He was the foreign policy statesman during the eight years he served as vice president. And he was the elder wise man during his 2020 presidential campaign.

On Monday night, as #Biden took the stage for his 13th #DNC, he was the torch passer. He tried to occupy this new role, one that required a recognition that his time as the party’s chief standard-bearer was nearing an end. He spoke to a crowd that #Democrats compared to those of 1960 & 2008, but w/the recognition that the catalyst was not him but the new #optimism & #joy that have overtaken the party since he stepped aside & endorsed his vice president, #KamalaHarris.

"What’s really remarkable about the first night of the convention has been the full-throated embrace of labor unions at the convention, with the heads of several important unions making appearances on stage and Shawn Fain of the UAW knocking it out of the park with this t-shirt …."
