It's pretty clear we need to spend billions on state constitutional amendments

Very progressive agenda have won in very red states, expansion of Medicaid, restoration of rights for former felons, etc.

If we can’t get senators out of those red states, we need to put the issues on the ballots. (Why do all these conservative voters love our issues and hate our reps?)

Echo Chamber

If we win Congress by one single seat, we need to celebrate this like it’s the Lions winning the Super Bowl. Against all odds. Changing the tide. Defeat of the Tea Party. Defeat of Trumpism. Past his prime. Getting old on the concert circuit. Wearing out his welcome. Defeat of racism. Championing of American idealism. Lady Liberty wins. Parkland kids triumph. Love trumps hate. Hope over despair.

If any single one of you whines in disappointment, I’m divorcing the lot of you.

Love y’all.

My sister called me in tears from Vero Beach

First words: “Gillum May win!”

She came from the library where there was early voting going on. (She already voted/was returning a book). Said lots of posters and excitement for Gillum. Said in 2016 it was ugly. All Trump, all Republican, nasty and hostile. She said the Republican and Democratic volunteers were getting along today, very good vibe, lots of dem excitement.

She was in tears because she thinks we have a chance. Me?? I am the most pessimistic person in the world and I actually think we are going to win in Florida.

Indian River County May overperform for Dems this year.

Friend posted on FB that CLay County has big Democratic surge and Repugs only voting 32%. CLay will overperform for us!

Broward County .... get off your couches... we can end this thing this weekend!!!
