It is the job of a would-be president to get elected.

Actually he is president. And, I think that is our job. I just was at a social event here in Germany with my other Democrats Abroad members. We have a whole summer of activites to help us get the vote out. I have been speaking to Americans who live Abroad, many of whom do not want to think about politics, but I have gained their attention. We are an organization that is devoted to helping people to vote from abroad and to recruit people to vote from Abroad. There are 11 million Americans abroad. Right now, two people you could support, even if it is with $5 each are Biden and AOC. Why her? She is the only member of Congress who is taking on trying to impeach SCOTUS members, who have just staged a judicial coup against our constitution with their rulings this week. If we do not do something now, that will give them carte blanche to hand the election to Trump over any spurious claim with a Biden victory. We must give them pause, and let them know the people will not accept that. A further help would be to contact Dick Durbin, one of my senators in Illinois and let him know that you are sending AOC money that could go to him if he would just do his job.

Biden supporters, even those who think his candidacy was mortally wounded by his debate performance, arenтАЩt the problem. The problem is anyone whoтАЩs not all that interested in politics but will vote (there are millions of such people) and wonтАЩt vote for Biden now because he looked and sounded too old for the job.

(I donated $200 the morning after the debate and hope it serves to defeat Trump!)
