How does it feel? I mean really how does it feel to have your time and labor stolen? Ever seen that movie dinner for schmucks?

My suggestion is to print out some of the more drastic and horrific steps the GOP and Trump want to do in the Project 2025 pages and then print out on the same paper equal amounts of things President Biden wants to accomplish in his next four years and hand these out to every person you see, or visit while canvassing. Show the people the contrast.

I’m writing postcards every day for Postcards to Swing States, Activate America and Postcards to Voters. There are a lot of us postcarders! Also, I wear anti-Trump t-shirts everyday like this one: https://libtees-2.creator-spring.com/listing/vote24 .I’m ignoring the noise, keeping my head down and doing what I can to affect the outcome. Don’t settle for the feel good stuff — go out and do something. Cut the panic. We have work to do!

Vote blue up and down the ticket. Our entire future depends on it!

I like your idea of handing out printed comparisons.

It may be good to limit those to a short list because many people don't read if there is a lot of material. However, I think outside libraries may be a good place to hand out the long detailed comparisons.

So your family are basically Nazis. Got it.

Expand full comment

There are many "you's" here, Emmanuel, so nobody "got it" here today. If you've looking for " basically Nazis", try the Ayatollahs of the Khomeini family in Iran, Putin's right-wing supporters - especially those with the Swastika tattoos on their bodies, Xi's dictatorial hold over his CCP is becoming more fascist by the day, the Kim family of despotic leadership in N. Korea since 1949, and their friends around the world. Plenty of basically Nazi regimes led by a powerful, zenophobe in the world. There is also a wanna-be dictator in the US running for office named Donald J. Trump, who openly makes statements about rounding up political opponents, murdering a former Army General who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs who wrote "bad things" about his highness, and he wants to offer full pardons to the hundreds of Jan 6 rioters who broke intothe Capitol building, killed Capitol Police and wounded many more on that infamous day. They were indicted by Grand Jury, and convicted under 18 USC 1505 -- Obstruction of Congressional proceedings, or worse. These are the people who would have rampaged and killed many in government, including their own, the people MAGA supporters identify as political prisoners, and Trump, Donald J., that convicted felon, would, if he ever gets his diapered and powdered rump anywhere near the seat of power again, has sworn to pardon these violent felons. I imagine ex-cons stick together.

Which side are you on, young Emmanuel?

What side am I on? I'm on the side of the best government money can't buy.

I'm voting for President Biden and his entire Democratic team.

Mr. Biden beat the Con Man in 2020, and he'll beat him again this year. He gets my vote based on his performance. Our best Presidents spread hope wherever they speak.

I'm also on the side of President's Democratic colleagues. They are running for those seats in Congress currently occupied by a self-serving majority of Republican Representatives, the least effective Congressional majority in American history! I'm voting for my Democratic House Representative.

I'm voting for other Democtatic candidates, too. For the first time in my long life, every Democrat on my ballot is getting my vote this year. I know that if I don't vote 💙, I may never have the chance to vote again. I don't want to live in a dictatorship where citizens can be thrown in a Concentration Camp because they might be a political opponent. I don't want to live in a country where Constitutional rights belong only to the wealthy. I don't want it for myself, or for my children's children, and generations to come. That's not the USA, but only a mad felon's dream of vengeance, who is now fearing the consequences of his actions.

In case that wasn't clear, I'm voting Blue 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇲, because I hope for and believe in Constitutional freedoms, an effective government based on negotiation and political compromise, and a better America for every citizen, and a better world for every freedom loving inhabitant of this planet.

A true liberal will defend your right to "talk," but your right to "act" will be just as scientifically analyzed for any possible criminal repercussions in kind to protect even our political enemies, whose responsibility is equally considered as our own. We liberals don't invite rhetoric or discussion outside of normal emotional reaction but are willing to come to agreements with reasonable degrees of respect & considerations to both parties.

Obviously, your 'willing to come to agreements', includes weaponizing the judicial system, as that's exactly what your false prophet, Biden has done!

Can you spell: broken record (oh! Right! That was before your time)...but you know what? If you're old enough to have gotten through high school, many well-written books on American history are available in all public libraries free of charge, read up on American civics, an amazing eye-opener to help you gain some insight of how important our freedoms and sacrifices have been that got us where we are today...! ENJOY, friend!

Well Eddie, history and research are two of my passions - I'm well versed and probably older than you might think. I'm well aware of how important freedom is! For example - this is why I find it so disturbing in how liberals allow Newsom to erode their freedom bit by bit! He's a truly evil man!

Expand full comment

You should be really embarrassed at trying to downplay Biden's mental inability to run the country, much less for four more years. It's so obvious the democratic party needed a change in their quick embrace of a candidate that didn't even last a year during her own presidential run and did nothing in the past 3 ½ years to prove she's any more capable now. Right place, right time.

I just watched the whole press conference beginning to end. I was so amazed how he only cleared his throat a few times in the first minute or so, and then not at all! It gave me great confidence, and also allowed me to see that he is in better health than during the debate. He is an honest man and he was sick and tired, but today was the real Joe Biden, and he has my vote. President Biden will continue the amazing job he's started. I'm behind him and right beside him 💯👍😎

They give you a choice of how many to write with the lowest being 200. I clicked that button and told them I’d write 60. They sent me 50. Don’t be scared away by the big number.

As a retiree, I could easily write 1,000 postcards, I mean that’s only 20 a day, 5 days a week for 10 weeks. But having to bear the cost of stamps for that many postcards is something I cannot do. Will take your advice and ask for a low amount of cards so I at least help contribute to the cause. Thanks for the info Joyce.

Expand full comment

If you give a friend 20 cards, addresses, a copy of the script and writing instructions, and a date certain to have the finished cards WITH STAMPS returned to you, most people can cough up the cost for a sheet of 20 stamps. Its important that you review their work. Tip: put the stamp on AFTER proofreading. And be sure they understand the instructions.

I think it really says something when the opposition and the click-bait-driven media search for something they can blame on the President, and all they can find is "he's old." Scared Democrats want reassurance that he isn't old, and pundits jump on everything they can use to prove he is. Meanwhile, MAGA loonies are still looking through Biden's past, trying to find something criminal, so they can feel better about their guy. What a world we're in! Donate directly to Joe's campaign and show everyone our support (because the pollsters can't find us). Even $1 will help.

We live in a country that values youth and youthful looks more than growing older, wiser, more experienced. It is cultural. Is there a way to change this? Certainly not in four months. However, there needs to be a lot of talk about how well Joe has done and continues to do, at the same time reminding people what the Trump years were like. Trump has a stronger voice and speech delivery than Biden,but what good is that speech if all it contains is lies, misinformation and lack of logic (e.g. his statements about sharks,his recommendations to drink bleach, etc.)? We should also remind people that Trump is just three years younger than Biden. They know it of course but they don't put those two pieces of information together.

Expand full comment

If Joe Biden is willing to serve another four years, we should consider it a blessing to have his leadership. If something happens to him before his term is up that makes it impossible for him to go on (which I doubt), we will be in good hands with VP Harris. If he drops out (although I hope he doesn't), she will step in and we can still win. We just need to give the team all our support and, to quote TFG, "fight like hell or you won't have a country anymore." Let's keep our eye on the ball! (Oh, and ignore the media; they just want to stir the pot.)

Remember that Trump doesn't even have all the republicans & he sure doesn't have independents. He lost 20% to Haley & then announced he didn't need them.

- In it Trump says he will move thousands of troops currently stationed overseas and shift federal agents, including those at the Drug Enforcement Administration and FBI, to immigration enforcement. He also wants to build more of the border wall

-He will put a larger, more expansive travel ban on muslims

-He'll end birthright citizenship...more kids in cages & cruel initiatives at the border

-He's going to add 10% tariffs (taxes!) on all foreign goods

-He will urge that Congress pass a “Trump Reciprocal Trade Act,” giving the president authority to impose a reciprocal tariff on any country that imposes one on the U.S

-He'll hand Ukraine to Russia

-He'll attempt to destroy NATO

-He'll make homelessness illegal

-He'll bring back the failed racist "stop n' frisk" policy

-He'll impose a death penalty on drug smugglers (This is rich since he's pardoned many drug criminals, uses drugs himself, just like Hitler did)

-He will outlaw gender affirming care

-He will deploy the National Guard "to restore law and order" in LIBERAL CITIES (Read: Democratic) and would investigate "radical Marxist prosecutors" refusing to punish disorder.
