Barrett's confirmation BACKFIRES: from DLCC

[elleng]

'Just a few hours ago, Senate Republicans voted to CONFIRM Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

But as Barrett's new colleague Brett Kavanaugh told Senate Democrats almost exactly two years ago, "what goes around comes around" – and it's coming around on Trump and the Republicans sooner than anyone imagined.

Here's what's happening right now, Ellen – from the moment the Senate vote finished, donations started POURING IN to support Democratic state legislators and knock Trump's allies from power all over the country.

Every single one of those gifts is being put to work immediately to help take down Trump's closest allies in the states and make sure Republicans PAY at the ballot box for what they've just done.

Even better, we've gotten word from a coalition of progressive donors that each of these gifts will also be matched, giving each dollar FIVE TIMES the impact until our final end-of-month deadline!

Just a few days ago, President Obama told us "we can't be complacent... Not in this election. Not this time."

With a partisan Republican majority now on the Supreme Court, that has never been more true. Victory is no longer possible for Democrats: It is essential.

And with just a few days left until these elections are over, we need to rally now if state Democrats all across the country are going to win on November 3rd.

Pitch in now to elect state Democrats. All gifts will have FIVE TIMES the impact until the deadline >>

Thanks,
DLCC Team

1. $50 I just gave should equal $250

Blowback is a b***h.

2. Lets also hope people who haven't voted yet get off their behinds and go vote.

Especially in states that make voting early easy. Don't wait until election day.

3. Not sure I follow this logic

The campaigns are awash with money, the airwaves saturated with ads, and there are very few undecided voters. At some point, this cash arms race has diminishing returns. I'd like to see some explanation of how more money will make a difference at this point. It's up to people now.

My next donations are to the ACLU for coming legal battles. The next battleground will be in the courts, protecting democracy.

13. Many local and state candidates are not "awash with money".

This is not just an election of President.

4. So, they get the Supreme Court, and we get a lot of donations...?

Not exactly "backfiring"...particularly if the SCOTUS majority, as now seems likely, intervenes in the election to give Republicans a win, making all our donations just money down the drain.

8. So should we just not even care or bother at this point?

Because I mean that they just give it to him then what the hell is the point of voting?

10. Change begins at the local and state levels.

Strongly held democratic states aren’t plagued with suits like the one in Wi. TX is an example, if the state had a strong dem holding there wouldn’t be only one ballot drop box per county and a dem gov wouldn’t be suing to make it so

[chikita]

11. Candidates get to keep

Unspent campaign donations,

I feel like I've heard this before but I'm not sure.

[Laffy Kat]

7. Just donated. I'm pretty tapped out at this point, but gave what I could.

I am donating to Planned Parenthood, too.

9. Let's get it done Dems.

[denbot]

12. I can't afford the hundred bucks, but fuck it.

I’m all in!

[ananda]

14. Just donated!

[trueblue2007]

15. ME TOO.

[winstars]

16. Donated $50 and am tapped out for this election. Gave a few other times, I hope for the best!

[bdamomma]

22. me too

tapped out but crap it's worth it!!!!

Sweep them out all the way!!!!

[Raster]

17. Burn DOWN the GOP*...

#BurnDownTheGOP #DeleteTheGOP

Vote. Every. Republican. Out. Of. Office.
None of them deserves re-election.
All of them are guilty of subverting democracy.
NOTHING will ever get better in the U.S. until the GOP* is gone!

#VoteEveryRepublicanOut #VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

18. Kavanaugh perjured himself during his hearings

And Thomas is verifiably dirty, making money from his rulings.

Impeachment isnt just for presidents.

[AlexSFCA]

19. state legislatures could be our only way out of it

they are responsible for administering all elections in the state, redistricting, ERA ratification, etc. Long lasting change gotta begin local.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. KICK the R OUT of state houses!

[bdamomma]

21. I just donated

$25 something is better than nothing.

Don't screw us. Not now.
