Neither "the electorate" nor "the American people" tells us much about what real people actually experience life and what they want from government. Pundits and conservatives are especially bad about thinking everyone agrees with them. Progressives know it's complicated.
When pundits tell you something will appeal “to the electorate” they’re simply imagining voters who believe what they believe. It’s all imagined. This is a wildly unpredictable process and changes day to day. Quitting the anxiety business would do us unbelievable good.
Qasim's faith and activism show compassion. His candidacy turns that compassion into action to protect the marginalized, persecuted, and poor. He understands that we face a true turning point in the American experiment. Qasim and I won't just stand by and watch it fail.
Trump's lawyers actually argued today that local police could not stop a Presidential shooting spree. Please tell me they don't actually believe that. #RidiculousLegalArguments https://t.co/l28rYutweW
Less than two weeks left to get this done and we need a few bucks to put a last-minute ask on TV and send out GOTV mail and texts. Please pitch in if you can. Thanks, and let's flip the 4th District and the Virginia General Assembly blue! https://t.co/ToKMYmF2Xg
At a rally in Lancaster VA for my friend Stan
@StanforVirginia running for the 4th Senate Dist.; and to collect petition signatures for 2020 candidate
@amyklobuchar to get her on the Virginia primary ballot.
Stan Scott and I spent a few minutes with Andy Parker yesterday in advance of the special session to reduce gun violence. An impotent Tommy Norment showed why he will be retired in November.
Yesterday I joined more than a thousand Virginians at the State Capitol to urge the General Assembly to take action to stop gun violence. All people deserve access to public spaces without fear. Thoughts and prayers don't bring change: we want votes and laws. #VoteAndLaws#VALeg
I had a great weekend at the Women’s Summit with @NetworkVirginia. Celebrating and learning from great women makes us stronger as individuals and as a Commonwealth. #WhenWeVoteWeWin@MomsDemand
The #DemDebate have been an exciting start to the 2020 Election Season, but in this excitement we must not forget the work that is to be done in Virginia this November. #ButFirst2019
As Pride Month comes to a close I would like to share my plan to support LGBTQ+ rights and to secure legal protection for members of the community. The LGBTQ+ community deserve comprehensive equality and opportunity, and I will fight for those rights. #PrideMonth#StanForVirginia
It was a great night of seeing some friends and making some new ones at the Hanover Men’s Forum to come together to move Virginia forward this November! #ButFirst2019#StanForVirginia#DogsForStan
Some thoughts on worker's rights and unions now up @bluevirginia, @dailykos, and Foggy Bottom Line. #ProtectWorkers#UnionStrong https://t.co/8kb1YvJVwO … …, https://t.co/BYV1NqY5eT … https://t.co/0jbEh0VboN
Common sense gun laws must be put into place to take back our right to public spaces.
I look forward to the progress made by our friends in the General Assembly, and I can’t wait for more good Democrats to join them in 2019. #GVPSession#VotesAndLaws
