73. One other thing: GOTV in 2019 and 2020 LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

Wed May 29, 2019, 07:28 PM

May 2019

What we did and gained in 2017 and 2018 should just be a warm-up for 2019 and 2020

Why 2019, you ask? Consider this:

While most of the elections nationwide will be on a local basis (villages, towns, cities, counties) with the goal of consolidating and expanding our gains in 2017 and 2018 there are also some elections with national implications: Louisiana, Mississippi and Kentucky have governorships and state legislatures at stake. Virginia's state legisature will also be in play.

Bottom line: There's no such thing as an "off-year" in elections.

EVERY YEAR IS A CRITICAL ELECTION YEAR.

Join up with your local Democratic Party and help canvass, or join your local Indivisible group to help Get. Out. The. Vote. in 2019 and 2020

One more thing: 22 GOP Senators are up for re-election in 2020. Just sayin'

How do you "impeach him and keep the testifying going" until the 2020 election? StarfishSaver May 2019 #63

Wrong. Clinton was investigated for several years- from 1994 to 1998. 58Sunliner May 2019 #97

You need to do some research about impeachment StarfishSaver May 2019 #102

It's a combination of both StarfishSaver May 2019 #22

In the Nixon hearings, Eyeball_Kid May 2019 #34

Those hearings occurred well before the impeachment process started StarfishSaver May 2019 #40

Yeah, I get what you're saying but, Mr. Evil May 2019 #46

That's where we differ StarfishSaver May 2019 #66

That first thing is wrong. Have you heard some of the constitutional authorities and historians pdsimdars May 2019 #16

All constitutional authorities aren't on the same page on this StarfishSaver May 2019 #25

Really. Who are these many others? Let's hear from the other experts on this panel. LOL. 58Sunliner May 2019 #95

There Are a Lot of Good Suggestions in This Posting panfluteman May 2019 #21

My thoughts exactly!! Impeach the bastard, now... it can only help defeat that traitorous POS InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #38

I think maybe you're missing the point of what's going on now. Captain Stern May 2019 #130

Right, exonerated by a bunch of corrupt Repukes... but, the press from the hearings InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #131

That negative publicity will have a very short shelf life StarfishSaver May 2019 #132

I hear ya, I just respectfully disagree. I think the positives FOR impeachment FAR outweigh InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #133

Why isn't Nancy Pelosi doing what she needs to do to get the votes? PufPuf23 May 2019 #31

How do you know she's not StarfishSaver May 2019 #35

You may be from the Bay area StarfishSaver May 2019 #58

Here is the thing, Pelosi does not have the votes now PufPuf23 May 2019 #65

Why do you put all of the responsibility for individual members supporting impeachment on Pelosi? StarfishSaver May 2019 #68

I did not state that at all. PufPuf23 May 2019 #77

I guess your insistence on what Pelosi should be doing differently instead of talking StarfishSaver May 2019 #79
