I served two years in Congress during the first Trump Admin. Here are a few pieces of advice I’m giving to Democrats.

First: Stay focused on the real people being harmed by Trump’s policies. It’s easy for DC politicians to exist in a bubble, but Washington should stay focused on the actual effects of Trump’s policies and Democrats should focus on how we can mitigate the damage.

@Angry_Staffer Weren’t they going to fix ALL our problems? Why are you stopping at eggs? 😁

[LKC @l_chakravarty]

@Angry_Staffer Looked out my classroom window to a huge plume of smoke roughly 1.5 hours into the palisades fire yesterday. Sky is orange all across the city, even in downtown. Just crazy.

[LKC @l_chakravarty]

@DrCABerry @ms_em_ellis Honestly I am so glad I started following you and found this. This WI analysis is the first analysis that has made any mathematical sense to me. And, I’m no great shakes at stats— just a HS math teacher!— but I have been so perturbed by the discrepancy in the numbers.

[LKC @l_chakravarty]

@Angry_Staffer Starlink seems like the weakest part of the “stolen election” theories. I don’t know the means. I know that the swing state senate and president results seem improbable. What would they say if they were concerned or investigating?

[LKC @l_chakravarty]

@PalmerReport As long as you pull one of us actual k-12 classroom teachers as your secretary of Ed…

[LKC @l_chakravarty]

@DrCABerry Math teacher over here and same. I feel like a total nutter even saying this.

[LKC @l_chakravarty]

@PalmerReport Present! Rough day but here.

[LKC @l_chakravarty]

@Angry_Staffer Just laser focused on data …but…I think solid.

Arnold for Harris/Walz; not something I thought I’d ever retweet, but there you go.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@Angry_Staffer Thank you, Angry! I’m at career teacher but I’m at a private school and lucky enough to get all the supplies I need. Here is the supply list for my previous public school, where my own kids now attend. Amazing, diverse, caring community

Thank you to the Black women who did that first zoom call for Kamala and put all the rest of this in motion. Black women and Black people always lead the way in Democratic Party politics and they don’t get nearly enough credit for it.

No matter my feelings on why this happened, I love Kamala Harris and am fully in to elect her this fall.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

[LKC @l_chakravarty]

@heymrsbond I do not know.

[LKC @l_chakravarty]

I didn’t intend to, but I took almost 2 full years off #PostcardsToVoters when my third kid was born. I was too tired & scattered to remember deadlines. I’m still pretty limited in scope, but here is a small batch to urge FL voters to #VoteVanos! I’m so glad to be back!

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

Mmhhh should I follow the guidance of a bunch of non-elected pundits with no organizing or campaign background about Biden OR should I listen to extremely popular incumbents and the presidents of major organizing arms.

Yeah. I’m sticking with Biden.
