As we watch these public hearings, everyone should remember one thing.

[SKKY]

NONE of this would be happening had we not flipped the house. NOTHING. Think about just how much we've averted by taking over the house. It's very likely the woman sitting there testifying before us may not have survived her time in Ukraine.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

1. Don't forget leader Nancy Pelosi's efforts to flip the house. . . . nt

[SKKY]

2. No doubt! Nancy Pelosi and our get out the vote efforts were crucial...

...and we need to rinse and repeat in 2020. When Democrats vote in large numbers, we win. It's just math.

[WhiteTara]

5. Who would we like for the Senate Majority Leader?

I mean Chuck only found part of his spine by borrowing Nancy's. I'd like to see someone with really great leadership skills and political savvy who has a firm grasp of Senate rules and moxy to overturn the republicon lock of the judiciary.

[NBachers]

7. Good question

[Eliot Rosewater]

33. No it's not! Any question that IN IT includes a BASHING of one of our Democratic leaders

is not a good question.

[SKKY]

12. There are several very solid candidates...

Mark Warner
Patty Murray
Sherrod Brown
Dick Durbin

We have lots of options. Oh, so you're gonna make me pick one? I'll go with Sherrod.

[BuffaloJackalope]

3. But, I hear time & time again that "both parties are the same".

[SKKY]

4. So do I. And I reply by asking them for examples...

...I always get crickets.

[lagomorph777]

21. I could give one or two, but I won't.

Mainly, that meme is completely wrong.

[FiveGoodMen]

15. Mainly from the press, which serves the oligarchs and not the rest of us

[Maven]

6. Yes, 2018 was really the last chance to save our country

Otherwise, we'd have no way of counteracting the subversion of the 2020 election. As it is, I'm not confident that we will have a free and fair election in 2020.

[Eliot Rosewater]

34. Oh, we wont anymore than 2016 was. They are hacking now, BUT if we TURN OUT

IN UNDENIABLE numbers and if we have EXIT polls all over the fucking place, we MIGHT make it

Now, Putin is going to try and shut down our power grid and internet on election day, dont know if he can or not but he has the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT under Rump helping him, so we will see.

[Ilsa]

39. I can't remember which show,

possibly Nicolle Wallace's or Rachel's, but the consensus was that Ds have to get out overwhelming votes because we know russia will help the Rs cheat.

[dlk]

8. Words of wisdom to share with non-voters

I knew a woman who actually lost a city counsel seat by one vote. Every vote really does count.

[SKKY]

10. Never in the history of our country has voting been more important.

And voting in large numbers.

[dlk]

11. Yes!

[lagomorph777]

19. The VA assembly majority was stolen by one single magical vote, for one seat, in 2017.

Fortunately, we fixed that in 2019!

[dlk]

20. The arc of the moral universe...

[raccoon]

9. K&r. Nt

[B Stieg]

13. K&R!

[George II]

14. I think of that almost every day. Had the republicans kept control there would be no hearings.

[SKKY]

16. You know that feeling you get when you lean back in a chair, and start to fall, but at the very...

...last second you catch yourself? Yea, that's the feeling I get when I think about what we dodged by flipping the house.

[lagomorph777]

18. The chair is still on two legs.

But we are no longer in freefall.

[lagomorph777]

17. Elections have consequences.

We have to extend our gains and participation substantially in 2020.

[SKKY]

23. I absolutely believe we need an epic, paradigm changing turnout for this election...

...because I don't think we really understand what lengths the other side is prepared to go through to disenfranchise large populations of voters.

[lagomorph777]

24. Yes, more than ever, we have to GOTV to overcome massive cheating.

[MFGsunny]

41. + 1,000,000,000

[Hortensis]

22. Yes, bless Big Blue Wave #1!

[SKKY]

43. And just to drive the point home...

For the last Gubernatorial elections in KY, 970,000 votes were cast and Bevin won. This time, 1.4 million votes were cast and Beshear wins.

[Demsrule86]

25. Very true...I have no doubt her life was in danger from Trump and his gang.

[SKKY]

27. Well, I don't know if we can name names, but we know what happens to folks who...

...don't "cooperate".

[Demsrule86]

38. Very true...Epstein is dead, Manaford went to jail rather than speak.

[dalton99a]

32. I think they would have poisoned her.

[bdamomma]

36. I loved

when she kept on bringing up RUSSIA.

[Demsrule86]

37. A convenient heart attack or falling out the window..her testimony was very damaging to him.

[NightWatcher]

26. Imagine if we had Senate too. Vote Blue No Matter Who.

[SKKY]

28. I'm supporting Warren, but I am a Yellow Dog for sure.

[dalton99a]

29. Never forget.

[Eliot Rosewater]

30. And we did that how????

VOTE



BLUE


NO


MATTER


WHO

and if you dont FUCK YOU (NOT YOU, you know what I mean)

[SKKY]

40. I actually asked the DU Administrators if they would consider...

...making a Yellow Dog as an option in the Primaries forum because, while we all perhaps have our preference, I’m guessing most share your same sentiment. I certainly do.

[StarfishSaver]

31. This is important to remember. Thanks for the reminder!

[Ohioboy]

35. Scary but true

[Cha]

42. Thank you for this.. I've reminded a couple of

people.

[SKKY]

44. I'm constantly preaching to people about the need to vote...

...and what happens when they don’t. Last Gubernatorial election in KY, 970,000 votes were cast and Bevin won. This year, 1.4 million voted and we flipped it. When Democrats show up and vote in large numbers, good things happen. It’s simple math.

[Cha]

45. KICK!!!
