and claw.

“They go low, we go high” was Michelle Obama’s mantra from 2016. It was pretty much abandoned after Trump won with Russia and Comey’s assistance.

I'm 'out there' fighting.

I'm not always fighting nice.
I try to be civil but I'll hammer them every day if I have to.

Here, DU is invaluable to keep me informed, find resources, learn talking points, etc

But 'out there' is where hearts and minds must be won.
We only need to move the needle a few points with those folks.

I wish our efforts were coordinated some.
But until then, I just have to do what I can

Things that Joe Biden will never give you.
But we pledge to deliver.

• Government dictates what you read, your religion and your private life. Period trackers mandatory, and report to the government.

• Devastating climate change.

• A deadly all-out war on the rights of women.

• More welfare for the rich.

• Americans pitted against each other along lines of race, color, religion, gender, sexuality, and income. Vilification of blacks, Jews, Muslims, lgbtq+ , homeless, and women of strength, with increasing violence, even murder against them.

• Private health care companies deny needed treatments to save money. (Death panels are here!)

• The wealthy pay even less in taxes.

• Every civil right is eroded by clown judges living in the 18th century rewriting the constitution.

• Worker's rights and benefits reduced in order to create greater profits for businesses.

• Safety nets removed, so that homeless, and jobless people are left to die on the streets.

• More, more, more of culture war.

• GUNS, everywhere, with no limitations or requirements. Kids get them freely.

• Minorities and women blamed for every imaginable blip.

• Support of authoritarian regimes across the globe, who eagerly imprison, "re-educate", murder and commit atrocities on others.

• Lies, hate speech and threats are welcomed on "social media" and given support by government officials.

• Medical care and prescription drug costs skyrocket. (and more ... )

Use, if you choose!

They wanted hate, they got hate. They wanted vitriol, they got it. I won't even tolerate family members that support magats.
