Are DU members doing anything to help win the election?

I challenge DU to post what they did to help win the election.

Complaining and worry doesn't accomplish much. For example, you could post how many swing state letters you wrote for Swing Left or Vote Forward. You could post what you have done for Vote Save America? Did you give some money to Democratic candidates? Are you working for your county or state Democratic Party?

To be honest all I see are posts about polls. I saw plenty of that during the 2016 election. Isn't specific effective action more important?

I am so guilty of not being involved in past elections. This time, I am writing letters for Vote Forward each weekend and give to the Biden Campaign, Wisconsin Democrats, Powered by People, and 10 Democratic Senate Candidates each month. I plan to do more and would like to see what others are doing.

I have included a link to a video that has inspired me about what the Wisconsin Democrats have done and how they won the Supreme Court Race during the pandemic.

Trump is a Traitor

He doesn’t care that our troops are murdered by Putin’s hand. He is trading our troops for his financial survival. He is owned by the Russian mob. May he have a KFC induced stroke.

Trump adds on HGTV, Food Network , etc?

Where are the Democrats? Where is Bloomberg? Are we going to let him creep back up in the polls? I don’t understand

Is Bloomberg going to financially help

To get rid of Trump? or was his rhetoric about spending a billion to get rid of Trump a crock of shit? His media on-slot was impressive, effective and annoying when he was a candidate.

I stopped going to church 8 months ago

I have redirected my giving to Biden, 8 Democratic US Senate candidates and three swing state Democratic Parties. It feels really good. The ELCA Lutheran church isn’t a fundamentalist church. However, I believe my money is better served in this endeavor.

Leaving to go cast my early vote in Texas

Spoke with my 90 year old Dad last night. He was asking me who I thought he should vote for in the Senate primary and I suggested M J Hegar. He said “Is that the pilot that rides a motorcycle? “. I said yes. His response “yeah I’m going to vote for her”. I love my old man. He is the most kind hearted man I know. A tough veteran drafted during Korean War, still digs post holes by hand, loves my mom with all of his heart and dislikes trump more than anyone on DU. I really want him to witness Trump’s defeat.
