Andrew Yang🧢🇺🇸
This is our only chance to clear Mitch out of the way and help Joe and Kamala get things done in the next 4 years. More details to come but lets go!!! 😀🇺🇸🚀
*************
The best thing we could do for Joe is to get him a Democratic Senate. There should be coordination of resources. Everyone who campaigned for Joe should get ready to head to Georgia. Ill go. Its the only way to sideline Mitch and give Joe a unified government.

(13,776 posts)I always got the impression that Bloomberg's main focus was on getting rid of Trump more than it was on supporting the Democratic agenda in particular, but if he wants to get rid of Trumpism, stopping McConnell will be a huge step. And it won't cost as much as contributing to a national election.

(246 posts)I'm all in. It is worth it. I could go and become a resident in the next few weeks. I lived there for 6 years before moving to my current state of NC. My employees can manage my business for a short time and I can come back to check in from time to time. DUers sharing a residence makes sense.
