1. That was excellent

Brian Williams played it on his show.

Should have been on every channel at least once an hour all day today.

[Biophilic]

2. Ok, fine (she clears her throat).

Yeah, what they said and how they said it. (Clears her throat again, sniffles). Damn. Yeah, what they said... My sister must be cutting the onions for the dressing. (Clears her throat again. Does't work either). Ok, fine, that really touched me. They are really good at what they do.

3. Okay there goes the makeup I just put on..

so touching, I could not stop the tears

[hydrolastic]

4. Everything that was shown made me tear up especially the wall of moms

The problem is what is not said. These are Republicans, yes divorced from their party but nonetheless still Republicans. Now don't get me wrong i am not saying hate them because of this. What i am saying is there will be a time when some will say that they did not support the Immigration policies, spending policies, increased military. etc. Of the Trump administration. I say Bull Pucky to that. I watched Reagan do a lot of the same stuff only with his actor smile. And before that Nixon. For me they have to form a new conservative party. The traditional republican party has lost all credibility.

5. I am thankful

For the LP. Among other things that make us who we are. Happy Thanksgiving, Friends

6. Beautiful. I give thanks for TLP, for every person here on DU, and for all who truly care about

our world.

7. Without TLP today could have been entirely different.

I shudder to think about it.

I am on the other side of the Political Spectrum, but I know class and patriotism when I see it.

I'm glad TLP has The Constitution's back. I know for certain that in the future we WILL disagree, but I'll stand shoulder to shoulder with them protecting the 1st Amendment, as long as I know that protecting the Great American Experiment is both of our bottom lines.

Thanks TLP from a stone cold progressive.

[NNadir]

8. Well said. I agree 100%. n/t.

[George II]

9. They are quite amazing, thankfully they're on our side!

[lark]

10. Oh, how I love this.

Thank you LIncoln Project and the good people of America, thank you for your service to humanity.

Anti-maskers, you may get what you deserve, and I hope you do, but do your parents or friends deserve to die because you are too important/stupid to wear a mask?

[TygrBright]

11. Thank YOU, Lincoln Project. And good luck building your new Party.

I can't promise we'll always agree, but I promise we will always listen, keep an open mind, argue respectfully, and compromise where we can, to find the closest thing to a win-win possible.

We share enough common ground and value enough of the same things, it should be possible to #BuildBackBetter with your participation and help.

appreciatively,
Bright

12. Whoa. That was unexpectedly moving

And so unabashedly true. I echo what others have said on this thread. I too, as a lifelong progressive, am thankful for the Lincoln Project for what they have done this year. Yes I know that the Lincoln Project is made up by those with whom I frequently ideologically disagree, but we do share some deep common values. If they can be thankful for Black Lives Matter activists, there is much more that unites us than does divide us.

14. who's cutting the onions here?

[LAS14]

15. They always hit it just right!

I dread it when they've accomplished their task and we're once again a two party system and they turn on us.

[Sherman A1]

16. Superb!

17. Very moving

Thank you.

[octoberlib]

18. Excellent. It made me teary-eyed.

[tavernier]

19. Very nice!

And they could’ve taken a well-deserved bow but they didn’t, so I will say thank you to them as well.

[Fritz Walter]

20. Also available on YouTube

Linked here.

About four years ago, I quit Twitter because they refused to curtail the lies and hatred spewed by Cadet Bone Spurs. Which usually means that posts containing just the Tweet here won’t open for me.

Well done! Carry on!

[mountain grammy]

21. Excellent.

I posted it on Facebook as my Happy Thanksgiving message.

[burrowowl]

22. Excellent!

[Cha]

23. Beautiful.. I didn't see Postal Workers so

I'm giving Thanks to them, too.

They would be under Essential Workers but I want to Thank Postal Workers specifically.
And a Huge Mahalo to TLP!

[Evolve Dammit]

25. I thought that too when they had the "voters", with the postal worker holding up the ballot.

[Cha]

29. Thanks for that.. I saw Voters but

didn't see the pic well enough. my eyes!

But they still need a Special Category.. my god!

[Evolve Dammit]

30. Yeah. Relatives handle all the baggage in airports. So many heros. Everywhere.

[Evolve Dammit]

28. On this day, my grateful thanks to the Lincoln Project

Your help meant a lot and it is appreciated.

[BComplex]

31. OMG.

That was so moving. I'm really grateful & thankful that we've had TLP on our side this election. They helped save our country from fascism this election. They are patriots. And I especially appreciate patriots.
