to claw back Roe, fix the courts, and save democracy.

We might need wins in unexpected places to thwart their plans, a state they thought was safe. This time around we might get some in places we aren't talking about. Women are absolutely fired up, both for Kamala and against restrictions on choice. Pot is on the ballot in Florida. Walz is beloved. Ted Cruz is reviled and vulnerable, while Allred is well-known and liked. Vance is a freak and Trump is deteriorating before our eyes.

Plus this is the first general presidential election after the former guy launched an insurrection to topple the government when he lost power. The first one post-conviction and sentencing. It's also the first one since abortion rights were overturned, due to the court being corrupted by presidents who did not win the popular vote.

Hell yeah we are motivated! Let's fucking go!
