It ain't over 'til it's over.
Rich Mitch and cronies desperately want North Dakota. That's reason enough for me to try to help keep it blue.
Piss on the polls; fight!

(34 posts)With all due respect, your money is better well spent donating to the actual toss-up races in Missouri, Indiana, Nevada or Arizona as we are now three weeks from election day. These races are all winnable!!! This seat is a lost cause. I do not get this decision. I live in Missouri and the race could not be any closer. The prudent move would be to donate to Claire or any of the other races I mentioned.

I also like football. Seen many games that were lost on paper and looked lost until the final quarter, but won on the field.
No race is lost until after the election.

(34 posts)However, politics is not like sports. I really love your optimism, but when a Dem Senate candidate is down double digits in a bright red state, the outcome is not pretty. Also, I am sure Mitch is thrilled you are donating to Heitkamp.

(33,325 posts)Weren't Native Americans instrumental in that win? It would explain the very targeted voter suppression going on now.

(7,862 posts)If Republicans were so sure that they were going to win, they wouldn't be going to such great lengths to suppress the vote of traditional Heitkamp supporters.
I also donated to Heitkamp, right after she announced that she would be voting NO on Kavanaugh, so, you are in good company!

(33,325 posts)We don't need any depressed stuffed critters. They need to be bouncey and happy. It's their job.
If Heitkamp's crew can work around the barriers against Native Americans, imposed by the cheater GOP, she may pull another upset.

(33,325 posts)I have never regretted my vote for George McGovern. Underdogs need encouragement.
If nothing else:
1. Heitkamp voted her conscience on Kavanawful.
2. Her fight has illuminated more attempts at voter supression by GOP in ND.
