"We go into this election with momentum and energy and with great love for our country. I see it everywhere. Martin Luther King once said in a different context, 'Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.' That’s what we have on our side in this election."

@Laloofah I agree! Loved the interaction in the video and the big smiles and laughter.

@wdlindsy

There are several references to the phrase "the law is clear." But when both sides can claim to be right in their interpretation of a law then that law, by definition, can't be "clear."

Georgia Republicans wrote that law. And they wrote it to be vague for a reason: to allow them to use it to claim election interference.

Why didn't Georgia Republicans make the law more clear when they wrote it? Because it benefited them politically not to.

@Vaniaji You're welcome, Vaniaji!

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@IAmDannyBoling I suspect what Joyce Vance means in using that phrase is that it's very obvious that with the law being clear, some of the attempts to represent it in this or that way are clearly distorting the clear law.

The Big Picture contrasts the hopeful speech Kamala Harris gave last week to a crowd of over 75,000 people in the D.C. ellipse defending democracy with Trump:

"Donald Trump in the meantime continued to refer to the United States as 'a giant garbage can.'”
