   Instead of complaining about Democrats on the internet all day, I attended my county Dems’ yearly endorsement event prior to our spring primaries and met candidates for mayor, city council, local offices of many kinds, and local judicial candidates. I also turned in petitions.

   We had great turnout including a fantastic group from our local Young Democrats.

   I support protests and all else people are doing and participate myself but if we don’t vote and get other people to, it’s all for nothing.

     @TonyStark @Pineywoozle A propos speaking to people who are not on the same page as us: I phonebanked for the special election in FL-06 today. What really resonated with voters there is that Josh Weil is a school teacher. I didn't only talk to Democrats. A lot of people are worried about what's happening to schools if not for their kids, then for their grandkids.

     @Pineywoozle If we talk to just the people who already voted Dem, nothing happens, and that’s mostly who you’re going to meet at many of the protests (no offense to anyone there.)

     You have to go where other people are- set up at community events or places people are. Join the League of Women Voters and FFS everyone needs to message in a coordinated, positive way.

     “I hate half of Democrats but I want you to vote for them” isn’t it. Republicans solidify and if we want to win we have to, too.

     Steve's Place repeated this.

     @TonyStark This times a fucking thousand. ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️
     Get ready now so you can #Vote in every race from the dog catcher on up! Make sure everyone you even vaguely know is registered. Don’t just talk to Dems. I made this graphic in 2019 & I suspect it’s going to be even more true in the races up to & including Nov 2027
