1. Wow! If we can overcome the suppression, this will be a blowout.

2. That is a big IF, because we all know that they will do anything to lie and cheat, especially if the

Mary Trump book is released which exposes the criminal activity of most of the trump family

[lagomorph777]

5. The Mary Trump book is already inflicting damage; apparently leaked to major outlets.

11. Not apparently, it has been. Rachel showed her copy last night. It is a bombshell,

and exposes the criminal activity of the trump family

[lagomorph777]

12. Wooh!

[still_one]

13. It was a scathing indictment of the whole trump empire. This should have the same effect that

Comey's letter to the republicans in Congress had, except this is true, and it is backed by documents Mary trump received from the trump family lawyer

3. We MUST vote for Democratic state legislators down the ballot!

That will help us with the ALL IMPORTANT redistricting process that will start in 2022.

That, in turn, will help us with Congressional Representatives.

And we must take the US Senate since that’ll help us with the SCOTUS nominations!!

This is all linked together!! Vote Democrat up and down the ballot!

6. Yes!

From the bottom up!

[lagomorph777]

7. Yes - we need everybody to vote all the way down to dog catcher.

The rot at the bottom has enabled the disaster at the top.

8. Ditto.

4. Looks for states like Missouri & Utah

to move to "Likely Republican" if current polling persists

[Akakoji]

9. So how about this?

Everyone that thinks their vote doesn't count, or who lives in a reliably blue state should focus their efforts here. Let Dems in these states know you support them!

Alabama (9)
Alaska (3)
Arkansas (6)
Idaho (4)
Indiana (11)
Kansas (6)
Kentucky (8)
Louisiana (8)
Mississippi (6)
Missouri (10)
Montana (3)
Nebraska (2)
North Dakota(3)
Oklahoma (7)
South Carolina(9)
South Dakota (3)
Tennessee (11)
Utah (6)
West Virginia (5)
Wyoming (3)

10. To put this in perspective

Biden only needs a combination of 52 EVs from the lean Democrat or the tossup columns.

Trump needs to get All of the Lean republican, toss ups and still needs 11 votes from the leans democrat column.
