The vice president ran an excellent campaign. The past 4 years while she was working to make the country better. A right wing campaign was growing. Start talking to your family & friends. The root of the problem isn’t on the top. It’s locally !
If you are a Democrat who is spending time attacking Kamala Harris or her campaign rather than focusing on the fight ahead, you aren't helping anyone.
i’ve said it before: my parents told their right wing families to fuck off (literally) in the early 1970s over vietnam + civil rights
since then, every member of my family, including my 20 yr old white nephew, has voted straight blue
this is how we build a movement + win

The last Democrat to win the majority of the white vote was LBJ in 1964.
With a Democratic trifecta & a large moderate Republican faction in Congress, LBJ was able to get the Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed, but in the 1966 midterms, Democrats lost 40 House seats, 3 Senate seats & 8 governorships.🧵

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

I voted NO tonight—because we have to address the MAGA health care hike.
By refusing to work with Democrats on a solution before open enrollment started, Republicans have already pushed millions of Americans off the health care cliff.

Weakness and paralysis are not the same.
In Severe ME/CFS, paralysis isn’t just “feeling weak” — it’s the body’s loss of nerve control over the muscles.
Patients describe moments when the brain sends signals to move… but the body simply can’t.
