Once daily, preferably while reading here, stop for just a moment and repeat:

[Atticus]

"I will vote for and support WHOEVER the Democratic nominee may be!"

Let that be our common anchor when the primary seas get choppy.

VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO!

[Moostache]

1. My vote is already cast...as soon as the nominee is named, they also have my donations...

No matter who it is or what the ticket is comprised of...as long as we are not running Jared and the Ice Princess as Democrats, then I am voting for the nominee and their chosen running mate, period.

[Atticus]

2. Good on ya. Same here. nt

[SonofDonald]

41. Exactly

That's why I'm undecided, there are two I really like but I'm voting for our candidate no matter who it is

Blue ticket all the way, time to remove the cancer that is republicon

[BigMin28]

4. And tell anyone who will listen

My son turns 18 next month and is already registering to vote. He also encouraging his large circle of friends to register and informing them how to do it. All these are great kids. I have no doubt how they will vote. I have listened (not eavesdropping) to many of their discussions while they are at our house, they hate tRump. These kids give me a lot of hope.


Vote Blue no matter who!

[Moostache]

5. I have begun advising my teenage children and their friends to organize and get involved...

Not only in elections but in the very real fight to SURVIVE once Climate Change spirals out of control in their lifetimes...

I used to believe I would be dead long before the worst effects, but that was just another lie fobbed off on the public (that we still had DECADES if not until 2100+ for the worst to happen)...I have started asking them why they are NOT in the streets every day DEMANDING action and changing the narrative around the issue.

Climate Change is real, it is man-made and it WILL kill BILLIONS if immediate, serious and sustained action is not taken.
They do not have DECADES...they have about 100 MONTHS (maybe)...after that, it is going to be a shitshow that may make Trump look like a walk in the park (but will absolutely be worse if they allow his ilk to remain in power long term).

The time to act was 30 years ago, but like the meme I saw earlier today...if the best time to start was in the past, the 2nd best is NOW.

[redstatebluegirl]

3. You bet! I have said before I may have to hold my nose on a couple of them but I will vote for them

[peggysue2]

6. Said it before and will say it again

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO is not merely a catchy phrase. It's a scream for national survival. We have finally caught up and passed any and all hyperbolic warnings of preceding elections:

Vote as if your lives depended on it. Because they do.

If we do not get this right in 2020, we may not have another chance to correct the error. It's that critical, that dangerous.

[Act_of_Reparation]

7. Why do we need to keep repeating this?

If you're posting on Democratic Underground, it stands to reason you're fairly committed to the Democratic party. This is some next-level cultish behavior, folks. Just relax.

[Atticus]

11. "fairly committed" is what we were in 2016. How 'd that go? nt

[Act_of_Reparation]

27. How many people here didn't vote for Clinton in 2016?

[Atticus]

29. How many canvassed? Phone-banked? Drove voters to the polls? Wrote letters to the editor?

Called family and friends to encourage a vote for Hillary? Contributed money?

THAT is "support".

[Act_of_Reparation]

30. You tell me.

I'm not going to pretend to be in possession of the data. Again, if you're here it stands to reason you're engaged politically. Most, I imagine, did something.

[calimary]

38. I'd guess that indeed there were some.

And how’d that work out for ‘em?

[Act_of_Reparation]

45. I'd guess *some* people who voted for Hillary in 2008 voted McCain in the general.

It doesn't mean they exist in significant numbers. Some doesn't tell us anything.

[dawg day]

8. I'm giving most of my meager campaign cash to senate/house candidates at this point-

and saving the president $ for when a nominee is known. This latest poll indicates there isn't that much difference in the top three against Trump. Not sure what that portends.

[Saviolo]

15. Yes, this is important, too

Winning the presidency and not taking back the Senate could be every bit as disastrous as losing the presidency. Got to show Mitch McConnell the door in no uncertain terms!

[napi21]

23. Dob't think that way! The Presidency is THE MOST IMPORTANT! Just think of all the crappy things

DT has done via a scratch of his pen! The Senate is second most important to replace Judges & pass the good things the House sends over. (assuming of course we retain control of the House. I sure HOPE this time the Congress uses their time in Control to PASS a lot of the things we've been promised over the years.

[IronLionZion]

9. All our frontrunners are excellent choices

so it's easy for me

[Baltimike]

10. VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO!!! NT

[Sogo]

12. WHOMEVER.

[Atticus]

18. "Blessed are the grammar police, for they shall be with us always."😊 nt

[Enoki33]

40. 😇😇😇😇😇

[wendyb-NC]

13. I am 100% committed

to vote blue no matter who.

[Nitram]

14. I'm sorry, I'm just not going to do that. There is no chance in hell I'd vote for anybody but the

Democratic nominee. I don't need to be reminded. It's like choosing to breathe rather than hold my breath for the rest of my life. A no-brainer. Duh!

[ffr]

16. Terrific!

All democrats all the time!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

17. Atticus, I think the point here is....

to very quickly lose the bitterness of a primary loss, buckle down and immediately fund and campaign for our eventual nominee instead of staying on the pity pot right up to election day.

We must remember that Republicans almost always rally behind their nominees very strongly (no matter how awful they are) due to their authoritarian, lemming-like nature.

KY.........

[Chakaconcarne]

19. I was say to the canvassers who stop at my door...

Nothing you say will change my mind... I vote blue up and down the ticket... Then, if it's a progressive, I shower them with all kinds of praise and encouragement and let them know who the right wingers are in the neighborhood.

[calimary]

39. Uh-oh... there were red-teamers knocking at your door?

Eeeuuuuuww! I’d want to smudge with some sacred sage after they left. To purify the area.

[lark]

20. #votebluenomatterwho

Yes indeed.

[pansypoo53219]

21. eat your peas.

[magicarpet]

33. And eat your carrots...

AmeriKKKa is about to go blind and insane with Nazi Dominionist Christians leading the way to Hyper Oligarchic Fascist Capitalism.

A clear and present danger to our Democracy,... vote blue.

Get trDump, his racists, and white supremacists out of our government.

[Blue_Tires]

22. It's already assumed as a given

I don't take my ball and go home unlike some other folks I can name...

[calimary]

36. Indeed.

[subana]

24. always!

anyone who doesn't vote democratic is a part of the problem! Anyone who decides not to vote (for any reason) is the same!

[Hortensis]

25. :) No need. In an alternate universe I'd even please Putin

and vote for Gabbard, and the rest of the ballot Democrat, if she was the only alternative to voting for Trump/not voting (effectively the same thing), even knowing the plan was defeat.

But this is this universe. I'm wondering if our president will have a Democratic senate as well as house to work with AND how many more state governments will turn all or partly blue.

[warmfeet]

26. Yep.

I always vote, and only for Democrats.

[Cary]

28. VOTE DEMOCRATIC!

I've been preaching that for years.

[Trueblue Texan]

31. Of course, I will!

That is an absolute given. No matter who.

[Ferrets are Cool]

32. I don't need to repeat it. It's ingrained in my DNA. nt

[cwydro]

34. Absolutely. But that being said...

Sadly, I’ve seen some here lashing out at other candidates simply because their candidate is doing poorly or has quit the race.

More than a few have commented on having no “enthusiasm” for voting blue. I don’t get that.

[calimary]

35. I took the Indivisible Pledge. Vote for the DEMOCRAT.

No matter who, vote BLUE.

[elias7]

37. How can I keep an open mind when all R's are liars?

They sure make choosing candidates easy.

[Joe941]

42. And also add even if it is Bernie!

[Heartstrings]

43. My son asked a similar question...

My response was “Whichever Democrat got the nomination and has a pulse”......

[H2O Man]

44. Recommended.
