57. What's destructive

Sat Aug 29, 2020, 02:18 AM

Is pretending this election is in the bag. Biden is polling lower than Clinton did in Battleground states. We have to work hard for every single vote. Pretending voters think like we do about Trump is a serious mistake. In my state of MN, traditionally a blue state, Trump and Biden are statistically tied. There seems to be a backlash due to the riots, because Wisconsin has also moved toward Trump. The solution is not to blame people who point out the challenges facing us but to volunteer to phone bank and do everything you can to get Biden elected. https://joebiden.com/take-action/#
Close the request for money, and you'll see search fields to find phone banks in your area. If you're already doing this, fantastic.
