Heather, thank you for reminding us that it’s not a horse race.
“I’m sincerely not asking you to take sides, but ask you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment.
Move past the horse race numbers, the gotcha moments.”
President Biden has given all of us our marching orders. Each of us can contact five of our friends and have them check their voter registration status the first week in October and have them contact five of their friends. Then, during early voting, contact them again to make sure that they vote to save our democracy and, once again, have them contact five of their friends. If you can do more, like writing postcards or donating to campaigns, do so.
Yes, I applaud the statements Heather quotes from Joe Biden and George Stephanopoulos about the role of the media. It is not just the New York Times, as was discussed here two days ago. Responsible journalism all around needs to "rise to the seriousness of the moment" and speak out for the continuation of our democracy!
One thing that is obvious and needs to be shouted from the rooftops, is that if Trump gets elected, he’ll never leave unless or until he’s carried out feet first. There will be no more elections. There will be riots and mayhem and possibly another civil war. I believe it was Tony Schwartz, who cowrote The Art of The Deal, said that Trump’s ambition is to be the richest man in the world. If he’s president (dictator) again, he’ll take over our treasury and our taxes will flow to him. We’ll be in a dire place.
It's unbelievable how many of my low to mid middle class friends and neighbors will vote for Trump. So many fall for his I'm just like you BS. I Have found I only have a few friends and family that follow President Biden like I do.
I ask myself, how don't they see what I see. It's crazy and depressing.
sammybeardog, I use the ideas from the book Taking the War Out of Our Words to share one fact at a time—one that gets a positive result is that now companies that have profits over $1 billion (like Exxon and Amazon) have to pay a minimum of 15% on the profits that they report to shareholders (previously their tax accountants found loopholes so that they often paid $0 in taxes). Another is that they’re going after the hidden fees when you rent a car or hotel room; and they’re working to limit overdraft fees at banks.

I feel compelled to help. I will be receiving my post cards from FieldTeam6.org today. Then I can start writing. Can't wait!
Also, Vote Forward is a very good letter-writing campaign.
Leopold, thank you for doing this!

I ask myself that, also.
It's so disappointing.
