"If you listened to Kamala Harris last night, and decided it’s time to get involved, if you were moved by Michelle Obama channeling Harris’ Mom and telling people to do something if they saw injustice, I’ve got the links you need to get started…."
Joyce Vance then provides links pointing to a number of ways she suggests that we can get to work to help Kamala Harris's campaign.

"Here’s the big idea: while money can still make a big difference, let’s get down for democracy.
Assuming you already have, will, or will continue giving to Harris/Walz, great. But the challenge is to get down a little more than you expected, where your money can make the most difference."
Jason Sattler then lists a number of down-ballot cases in which monetary contributions would make a big difference.

There is one down-side to this, and the DNC sometimes got dangerously close to it. Deifying anyone (as your saviour) risks taking you into that very world of cult-like behaviour that you oppose.
It is possibly for this one reason alone that I believe that the DNC made a big mistake not allowing opponents to the genocide to have a voice.
If you truly believe in democracy you have to trust everyone in your party to have a voice and to use that voice responsibly.
This did not happen.

"Trump once again said the quiet part out loud when he told a rally in North Carolina yesterday that they didn’t have to worry about voting because 'we have enough votes,' and his focus will be on Democrats 'cheating.' That sort of arrogant self-confidence can be read in only one way:"

@sufferforme I didn't read the DNC as a deification of anyone, and I also agree that the Harris campaign failed badly when it did not allow Palestinian Americans to speak to the public directly about what their family members are going through.

"they aren’t trying to turn out their own voters as much as they will be trying to stymie Democrat voters as they try to register and vote between now and the election. After election day, they plan on challenging the vote count and when the recounts don’t go their way, they’ll allege fraud and try to muck up the assignment of electoral votes in battleground states, and if that doesn’t work, they’ll try to challenge the certification of electoral ballots on Jan. 6."

I still believe whole-heartedly that Kamala Harris is not only the right choice for democrats in this election, but the right person for America at this point in history. I have consistently said as such since the moment Biden stepped aside.
But I also believe if your party & your politics is not robust enough to at least listen to differing opinions (& hopefully consider them), you have a serious problem.
After years of lies, Not Going Back has to also mean honesty in ALL things.

@wdlindsy Voter suppression is the only way the cheaters might deny the Nation what it vitally needs to survive as a Democratic Republic.

"Perhaps the greatest measure of the effectiveness of Kamala Harris’s convention speech was the truly unhinged content bender it sent Trump spiraling into last night. …
At first, Trump was jocular. …
Soon, though, the wheels were coming off."

"After the speech, he dialed into Fox News for still more free-associative complaining, bowling right over Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum’s attempts to get in specific questions, seemingly pressing phone buttons with his face as he talked. They eventually had to cut him off mid-sentence to wrap up their show."

"Not to worry, though: When they pull the plug on you on Fox, there’s always Newsmax. So Trump picked up the phone again. 'I will tell you, I just watched it,' he told Greg Kelly and Mercedes Schlapp a few moments later."

“Our message is simple. We can fight about the rest of it later. We can fight about the size and the scope of government later. We can fight about libertarian issues or social issues later. We have freedom and democracy to preserve together, and there are certain principles that are bigger than party politics.”

"By the measure of what they were up against with a last-minute candidate change, [the DNC] was an extraordinary tableau, one without any real historical parallel. Nothing remotely like this has happened before in the modern TV-era of politics. Lyndon Johnson’s withdrawal in 1968 was months before the (cataclysmic) Democratic convention."
