Electing better Dem candidates safeguards us from an ineffective majority, exemplified by Manchin and Sinema.
Let’s beat Republicans AND have better Democrats in Congress.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

@schiff.senate.gov Enough. The Democrats must shut down the Senate and use their power. Stop voting for these idiots. Stop all unanimous consent. Demand answers. Filibuster. Where is the fucking outrage?

Another part of the gaslighting and lie is that RFK Jr. was ever a "pillar of the Democratic Party." Seriously? RFK Jr. has, quite justifiably, been a pariah in the Democratic Party at least since he outed himself as antivax in 2005. Even his own family has criticized his antivax activism.

Trump has fallen below 50% of the popular vote.
With 152.7M votes counted so far, he leads Harris 49.99%-48.22%.
This was not a landslide or a blowout by any means.
