Alyssa Milano also FTW


?s=21

Repeat after me:

I will support Joe Biden’s VP pick.

I will not allow the media to tear down a female candidate.

I’ll call out any democrat for publicly bashing Biden’s VP pick.

This election is life or death for many. We don’t have the luxury to complain. Let’s get to work!

That last sentence says it all. There is no more, and that sentence is the truth.

Trump is a killer..Donald Trump has already proved that to all of us.

Any of the female candidates would blow Pence out of the water during a debate.

And also political leanings.

I am hoping for Susan Rice, but I will support whoever is Biden's choice.

I credit Ms. Swift handing us the majority in the House in 2018. She has more twitter followers than doll-hands and nailed it against trump via her songs and tweets. The millennials listen to her. She will once again be instrumental getting out the younger vote come November.

She overcame the problems that always face people who are famous when they’re young. Then, she became a beautiful woman, and a good actress, and could have had an easier life by just staying out of politics, but she’s taking a stand for justice. My opinion of her just keeps going up.

at first I thought she was just trying to get attention, stay relevant - but I have come to realize she really does care and is passionate in her efforts to educate people about politics, to truly "make America great" for all of us

...fellow party members, but from what I read about him and hear from Ohioans is that he is pretty much the same, just disguises it better.

I think we both supported Sanders in 2016, but we all need to be behind Biden. I prefer Warren or Harris, but I trust Biden to pick the right VP.

They have tried to tear down Biden and nothing has stuck, he's only rising in the polls. So after he announces his VP, they'll act as if she's the top of the ticket and Hillary Clinton her. We'll see their agents come on DU and other social platforms to highlight their "concerns" about her. Democrats need to be prepared for this. We should not allow this. We have to defend the ticket. Misogyny worked for them in 2016.

To proclaim 2020 is the most important election of our lives. It is literally life and death for many this time.
Democracy really does hang in the balance this time.
Time for everyone to suck it up and be a grownup and not throw the country, and for that matter the planet, under the bus for the sake of your personal ideology. Get over your "Never X" or "Anyone but X" or "X or Bust" mentality.

the GOP and russian think tanks are poised to go all out on the pick and willll start their attacks by using 1500 unchallenged radio stations to prime the national buzz - and democrats will allow it to happen and not notice until it's been pounded into the earholes of 50 mil and media starts to ask democrats what they think of the lie/lies aimed at her. as usual. it's really the biggest political mistake in history
