"We must not agonize, we must organize. People must vote," Pelosi said Sunday in an open letter to colleagues. "To achieve this, we must OWN OCTOBER with our For The People agenda, which I hope you will advance in events and on social media in the weeks ahead."

She said Democrats must now turn their attention to the Nov. 6 elections. "The GOP's Decision to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court has wounded the very soul of justice in our country," Pelosi said. "Amid our heartbreak, however, we renew our resolve and determination."

"What is at stake in this election is nothing less than the health and financial security for families across America," she wrote. "That is why we must find even harder to win so that we can advance our For The People agenda."

6. People are depressed instead of being angry.

The MSM is doing this! All I hear is how the GOP is energized, how the polls are almost tied, etc. That is more MSM BS like they did to help the moron win the electoral college. Do NOT listen to them!!!!! It is the GOP doing what it does best...lie! Stay angry and if anyone tries to throw a pity party stay away! They want to infect you with their "doom and gloom" crap. Avoid it or confront it and FIGHT BACK!

7. I don't know any depressed people, just active people out campaigning.

8. Good...if you run across any don't let

them influence you.

[Progressive Jones]

11. The GOP isn't as energized as "Trump Lickin' Limbaugh" wants you to believe.

However, the hard core radical right never misses an election day.
GET THE VOTE OUT!!!

9. well, we never had a chance of stopping the fascists anyway, especially when turncoat fake Dems

vote with them. Nothing to apologize about, shit happens when 49% of voters don't bother voting, when the so called news networks backs the fascist party, when big money overwhelmingly support the fascist party, when foreign agents get away with cyber warfare and when fascist state governments suppress votes. The system is broke, there is no miracle cure under the thumb of a fascist, capitalistic state.
