The bottom line: Young people turned out to vote in historic numbers in 2018 & at *even higher* rates in 2020. This time around, young people are angrier. We are more frustrated. Everything I'm seeing indicates we will break turnout records & save democracy again. #VoteBlueToday
EVERYONE shows up, and we keep the House, add 2 seats to the Senate. Then indict Trump, codify Roe, pass voting rights and expand the Court. Then put Trump on trial, ban assault weapons, pass immigration reform, protect Medicare and SS, make DC and PR states, convict Trump. Rest.
Yes, I'm experiencing more anxiety than excitement today, but Lincoln reminds us that--whatever the outcome--the unfinished work of democracy carries on.
I was a lifelong black conservative Republican until they tried to overthrow the government in a coup, murder Nancy Pelosi, and buy Twitter to try and hide it from the public. I can no longer vote Republican in good conscience. Vote for Democrats up and down the ballot!
I live in a 55+ community. In calling around to my neighbors, I've found 14 that need to return their ballots. A few more calls, and I've found volunteers to drive these folks to the ballot box at the courthouse. Yay!!
There are long lines of young voters at UCLA. There are long lines of young voters at Univ of Florida. There are long lines of young voters at Univ of Michigan. There are long lines of young voters at Texas A&M. And 60K+ young people voted earl in PA compared to just 15K in 2018.
Blake Masters said "Democrats are hoping you will get discouraged and go home." No Democrat, to date, has ever suggested this. However, there are armed right-wing "poll watchers" who are intimidating Arizona voters, hoping they get discouraged and go home. Stay in line and vote.
NOW on MSNBC: @TheOtherMandela says that he is seeing people turnout in this election who would’ve never turned out before — and included in that group is young people. Can confirm. Young people are showing up. And we will keep showing up until the polls close tomorrow.
Rep. James Clyburn to Fox: "Democracy will be ending" if Democrats lose the midterms.
"I've studied history all of my life. I taught history. And I'm telling you, what I see here are parallels to what the history was in this world back in the 1930s in Germany."
Donald Trump is spreading more unsubstantiated election disinformation about Michigan on Truth Social. I will not repeat any of it, but I will note that Trump's previous lies about MI inspired a group of right-wing vigilantes to spawn a plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
I believe in this state. I believe that we will win, and that we will work towards a better Arizona — an Arizona where no one gets left behind or goes without a voice.
