My pledge to work my ass off in the next midterm elections.

Look I know this is super early, but while the democrats are shorthanded, they are dedicated to improving the lives of people as much as possible. We absolutely need as many more seats in the House and Senate as possible in the next election to fulfill our agenda -likely ending the fillibuster, reforming our courts, protecting the right to vote, etc. We will not be able to do this as easily without more Democratic members in our caucus. I pledge to knock on doors, make phone calls and donate as much as physically possible in order to secure Biden's bold agenda for the rest of his term.

Who's with me??

Phone bank, door knocking, donate, vote, I’ll do it all. It is critical to our country’s survival to keep Republicans out of power.

Right now my donations are going monthly to the DNC..very enthused with Jamie Harrison at the helm, and to the democracydocket..Marc Elias the great attorney that managed all the post election law suits.

We can’t the house slip away, and it really looks feasible that we pick up a couple of senate seats. That would squash Manchin and sinema!

I don’t see why Democrats here are pissing and moaning about the fact that Democrats can’t just wave a magic wand and somehow get policy that House and Senate procedures make impossible with our thin majorities. People need to focus on fucking growing our majorities, then get pissed off if we have more than 60+ Senate seats and a comfortable house majority and don’t get things done.

People like to recall FDR, but the fact is FDR had a big Senate and House majority to work with, we fucking need to focus on getting back to that point instead of pissing and moaning.
