What does it mean to be a Democrat?

I have lived in that question most of my adult life.
I take the "general welfare" clause of the U.S. Constitution seriously.
I'm certain that our current POTUS is a poser. He should never have been there in the first place and it's now time to replace him.
Joe Biden is the clear choice here, and I say that as someone who has supported Bernie.
I've worked professionally on many campaigns, at all levels.
Covid 19 has required us to adapt. We're not knocking on doors but we are using the phones, email and social media.
We have two months until Election Day. But early and absentee voting means that "gotv" happens as soon as you can submit your ballot or "early vote." Any Democratic Candidate running for office, needs to apprise voters of their options in this election. While we are still in the voter i.d. phase of the campaign, as soon as voters can begin submitting ballots, we are also in "gotv" mode. We need to encourage Dem i.d.d voters, to cast their ballots a.s.a.p. If you're certain, DO IT NOW!
If you're running a campaign, you need to be microtargeting undecided voters NOW and apprising voters who are with us as to their options for casting their ballots. IF YOU'RE SURE, vote a.s.a.p.! If you mail in or drop your ballot in a secure box, FOLLOW UP! Most County Officials will allow you to track your ballot. If they aren't, ask why. If there is a problem with your submitted ballot, follow up with your county clerk to find out what the problem is and rectify it.
Across the U.S. during the 2020 primary, 500,000 ballots were thrown out. These can be decisive in battleground states.

MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT!
