What was said triggered a lot of people of different ethnicities . That was painful and if you don’t say how horrible it was, those affected by it will think you don’t care. It is not all about economics.it is about dealing with our ism’s.

focused and talking all about him and the outrageousness of his MSG rally. Best thing to do is ignore his rally altogether and stay focused on what WE need to do to finish the campaign in the next 8 days!

by some states not certifying the election results. Then they can vote for Trump to win it, would be 26-24 TFG/Harris. He’s diabolical. Hope our side has all their bases covered!

And the states have already been told they WILL certify all votes.

So, MAGAs may think they have an easy steal, but it's not going to happen. They can't refuse to certify and decide themselves, lawsuits take time and will fail, as they did last time, because they have no evidence to show anything was wrong with the election.

Their idiot minions won't have another chance to do what happened last time. They are cowards, members of the basement brigade (and Mommy's basement at that). We're ready for them, with LEO, National Guard and more waiting for something to happen. It won't be pretty. If the idiots try it, some will die.

It's scary to think what could happen, and we hear so many threats. But it's not like it was back then. Trump isn't in charge. None of his supporters in the government are going to do anything that will get them arrested. Even his own lawyers know what will happen if they try to pull this shit again.

Keep Calm and Get Out the Vote.

It’s pretty interesting how the democratic side has such decent, kind, sincere, intelligent, and honorable people, while the republicans have MAGAts who are idiotic, cruel, diabolical, scheming and unimaginative people on their side.

@PeteButtigieg

The strategy is familiar and predictable by now. A pile of outrageous statements - all to ensure we spend the next days talking about him, not about you and not about how Kamala Harris will make life more affordable and restore the right to choose that he took away. It’s bait.

as well. This guy held a nazi rally last night and we're supposed to not talk about it? We have no choice but to warn Puerto Ricans and people of color who are planning to vote for him or stay home. I don't want anyone to be able to say that they didn't know or they weren't warned. I get it, the cult is unreachable right now. But there are also millions of people who are just planning to stay home because they don't feel their vote matters.
