A massive shoutout to Black women across this country who showed up and showed out. A massive shoutout to Black voters across this country who showed up and showed out.
Black women are the backbone of this country. We are the backbone of the Democratic party. We are phenomenal. We are unmatched. We are the blueprint. We thanklessly put in the work over and over again to save this country from itself. We are magic, yes, but we are also human and we need protection, care, resources, and we need our demands met.
It is not enough to say thank you to Black women from saving America from the worst of itself. What are you going to do to ensure that Black women’s voices are not only heard but our policies are championed and implemented. How are YOU going to be an active ally in ensuring that Black women do not have to do the work alone. How are YOU going to be an active anti-racist. What are YOU going to do to begin dismantling these oppressive white supremacist systems. How are YOU and YOUR community going to show up every time.
Black women will keep on doing the work because we want better for ourselves and those coming after us and we do not have the luxury of waiting on others to have our backs. This is a moment for those who call themselves allies to really take a deep look at their community and its failings and do the work.
Joe Biden will be the next President and Kamala Harris will be the first Black Vice President/First Black Women Vice President/First Women Vice President

The DNC is just the DNC. We need to create a freestanding Department in #PresidentialCabinet that exists regardless of who is President. This #SecretaryOfEquity would be on equal playing field, money and resources to match, w/ @StateDept@HUDgov w/ purpose of tackling disparities
First I’m hearing of it, but I’m sorta kinda LOVING this idea! Stacey Abrams’ talent should NOT be wasted in a same-old same-old role. This is perfect for her, if she wants it. I don’t think she’s the type who wants to limit herself because of all the possibilities in front of her (and her brilliant mind).
Fuck them; they do not rule shit and no one needs their word to decide reality. This action is like kids putting their fingers in their ears and saying “naw, naw, naw.”

2 years ago, @staceyabrams lost a controversial race for Gov. of Georgia in which voter rolls were purged and thousands of pending registrations where cancelled.Rather than crying 'fraud,' she embarked on an incredible journey to ensure election integrity and register new voters.

Do NOT paint FL w a broad brush OR discount the role of suppression.

Same with North Carolina. Student organizers especially in NC have been putting in work for years in a state that is one of the most NOTORIOUSLY suppressive states in the union.
Do not divest from the people because the state went red.
That’s the wrong conclusion.

Only johnny come lately, snowflake white folks who have not worked or suffered for any cause give up after a defeat. Black people cannot afford to do this; politics is truly a matter of life or death for us. We have no privilege, no pass, no real citizenship no matter how gifted we are or how much we accomplish. We know change is incremental and that for every forward move this country slaps us back two feet or more. They are going to make us pay for electing Barack Obama for 3 generations or more if we just sit back.
From just before Election Day: "If there is one person who is both most responsible for Georgia’s emergence as a competitive state, and most likely to benefit from a Democratic victory here, it is Stacey Abrams." https://t.co/FOACddyd1M
I hope that some of the outcomes that resulted from the aggressively active voter suppression efforts of the GOP, liberal/progressive/Democrat/Independent voters…especially those who are labeled “unlikely” voters, or those who are first time voters do not discourage them.
Instead, I hope that they will look to Stacey Abrams (and others) as a role model, inspirer, and motivator to do the things needed to overcome suppression, educate and register voters, and achieve — or move closer to achieving more desirable outcomes in future elections.
Feelings?? 235,000+ families would like to discuss a few feelings. 58% of small businesses and 12,000,000 jobless would like Republicans to take time for their feelings at home and do their jobs now. The American people have made their "feelings" known.

Yes, but they know how many are outstanding and whether it will make a difference to the final result. But I get that Joe won’t announce until the call is made.
They were chicken shit from the beginning and remain so to the end. They only go after democrats and take orders from the billionaires who own the company. Lest we forget, this is a business whose purpose is profit. The media has not and never has been of service to the people. From the broadsides of the colonial days to the internet revolution this has been true.
The best thing we could do for Joe is to get him a Democratic Senate. There should be coordination of resources. Everyone who campaigned for Joe should get ready to head to Georgia. I’ll go. It’s the only way to sideline Mitch and give Joe a unified government.

Today, Jake Tapper & Brian Stelter of CNN reported that at Fox, the directive now from their top folks is to Never address Joe Biden as the Pres-elect because of all the controversies & litigations. This is why I am with those calling for the US Media to stop catering to Trumpism, Rs & treat this election as they’ve done since 2004, & call the election for Joe Biden & Kamala Harris.

We’ve now reached the point where even the on-air personalities on CNN and MSNBC are starting to grumble out loud about the absurdity of their networks not calling the results. This is a farce.
This is total bullshit, now all of a sudden these news organizations what to be extra carful and double check their work before they say anything. Trump’s term in office has been aided by these same news organizations broadcasting every lie he’s ever uttered.
Read between the lines. The President-Elect has said enough…this shit is over. Just be cool y'all and don't let these networks stress you out because it'll be called soon. We're already on the job.
Please pardon my ignorance, but what’s the vote difference in GA that would force a recount? Is the 4395 vote difference (as of now) enough or is a higher number needed? Is it a % of GA voters?
You have a very strange and unvetted relationship-to say the least. Don’t ever compare your weirdness to my children. You are a fraud and a nut. Trump lost. It’s over. Let’s talk more about your drunk driving and coke use. @ProjectLincoln. Trust me. The bill is due asshole https://t.co/WYJRwvgfDv
Hi Congresswoman. We have 500,000 individual donors who gave an average of less than $60. I think it’s up to them to decide whether @ProjectLincoln is worth their investment. As far as taking “the L” – @realDonaldTrump is a one term president. And WE were in the fight. https://t.co/HvyAy3zMfG

I also hope that ppl can have that change of heart to come together as a country. To stop hating one another. No more division.
Imagine being the party that engaged in various forms of voter suppression for years–purging voter rolls, closing polling sites, restricting early voting, even sabotaging the US mail– but then still losing and having the nerve to complain that the *other* party somehow cheated.

@ThePlumLineGS : because of how Trump bought into this whole scheme all along that he is now suffering through the slow & prolonged shock of seeing his leads bleed away over course of days, to be replaced by Joe Biden leads. It must be a special kind of purgatory for him. https://t.co/9ooILFH7Wd
Funny thing is, if anybody in the party had stood up to him and defended the claim that voter fraud is a virtual myth, they might have faired better. Instead, the Fox News bubble got sold to their supporters, and they paid the price. Good riddance. https://t.co/vuRiSlJfKK
That said, I’ve never enjoyed not sleeping as much as I have during the past 4 days – the very best display of Democracy on a slow motion time scale that is showing humanity now – and will continue to inspire for decades – the power of ‘one person, one vote.’
So in addition to Meadows, GOP Rep Matt Gaetz also got coronavirus. That Trump-GOP cabal are a pack of germy bastards. Meanwhile, the White House is THE coronavirus hotzone of the country. We need it detoxified before President Biden moves in.

And hope to find any and all bugs planted by adversaries…i don’t know that for a fact but I wouldn’t doubt it. This cabal would sell America out in a heartbeat.
We don't yet have any evidence proving voter fraud was committed in this election.
We do have evidence that Republicans—from the president to congressional leaders to the party chair and her aides—are lying to the public.https://t.co/kLHk7FCqPy
This is the inherent flaw with the GOP charge of mass voter fraud. There is no pattern in the data to suggest anything except a high-intensity, high-turnout election all the way around, and in many cases, particularly down-ballot, Rs were the beneficiary.https://t.co/kLHk7FCqPy

These folk know how hard resurrecting THEIR party is going to be.
They each are, whether they’ll ever admit it, responsible for the emergence of the “Tea Party” & Trump – effectively the final two acts in a play that was going to end very badly for them given that scene Act 1, Scene 1 was the day Ford pardoned Nixon.
“Tough guy” with a real fragile ego. Honestly…it’s almost over
The silver lining: "As we wait for the networks to call the race, it’s worth noting that there’s a kind of eerie poetic justice in how this is winding down." — @ThePlumLineGS

Looking at legislative results (as the article points out), it would seem clear that Democrats will gain once the mail-in vote comes in. Frankly that's all I know at the moment because I've been focusing on other states.

Time to call it a night.
I will wait for the homing pigeons to bring me election updates ☺
Keep the faith everyone ☺
So sorry to hear that… but COVID-19 is everywhere. May Rachel’s health allow a speedy recovery without complications.
This new Allegheny batch. My god, just call this thing. Biden picked up 7,300, Trump got 1,875. Biden’s up by more than 27,000 statewide now.
VP Biden reportedly just left home for venue 15 mins away at the Chase Center in Wilmington.
This is total bullshit, now all of a sudden these news organizations what to be extra carful and double check their work before they say anything. Trump’s term in office has been aided by these same news organizations broadcasting every lie he’s ever uttered.
Thought I just heard this is his second round of COVID. 😏 Skepital self is wondering about rats jumping ship. 😏
Wow, it’s so calming to hear a real leader speak to the nation again.
Please pardon my ignorance, but what’s the vote difference in GA that would force a recount? Is the 4395 vote difference (as of now) enough or is a higher number needed? Is it a % of GA voters?
Vote difference of 0.5% or less triggers a recount.
For all the hype of ‘yuuuge’ turnout in 2020, the reality is it still is middling 66%. No wonder the race is still so fucking close.
These folk are not playing ….
Well deserved. She’s being a jerk …
Regarding the question of whether the Lincoln Project intends to support Rev Wornock – they had already served notice to Loeffler on 3 Nov …
As I’ve noted in the past, I am not a fan of Rick, Steve, etc., but they are proving their ability to disable Trumpism and his cult. As long as they stay on that trajectory, I’m not going to trash them.
Goodnight TOD.
Good Morning Y’all! Someone updated this old Key & Peele video with 2020 Election tags! OMG, it is brilliant!

Good Morning Everyone!
Have a nice day.
Great day knowing that we have President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.
Morning everyone. I’d say the same for Mr. Perdue. Hope this will bring clarity to many
If the Democrats do not win, them Moscow Mitch will do the same thing all over again to the Biden / Harris admin – what he did to PBO, with that same smirk on his effin face.
No court expansions or even term limits to SC justices, or improvements to healthcare …. zero. The VRA will never see daylight. So much is riding.
So, WHEN the Democrats take control of the US Senate not if.
… and then work on the mid-terms (I know it’s early but …). Can’t afford to lose Congress
I also hope that ppl can have that change of heart to come together as a country. To stop hating one another. No more division.
Totally agree:)
Some shit
Thread. Scary times…made worse by chickenshit enablers
WTF IS THIS?????

LOL
Lordy, I needed that laugh:) Trivia side note…I used to work with Joe Johns. Nice guy:)
Yeh he’s still going to be putting the country in danger until they drag his ass out the door.
Two months is a long, long time. 25th Amendment?
Right there with you!
Good morning TOD,
Saw this a min or two after it was posted and couldn’t agree more!! 😀
That said, I’ve never enjoyed not sleeping as much as I have during the past 4 days – the very best display of Democracy on a slow motion time scale that is showing humanity now – and will continue to inspire for decades – the power of ‘one person, one vote.’
Just setting this down….
I think they should hire Paula White to exorcise evil spirits … immerse the WH in bleach, send microwave rays throughout to kill any lingering germs. 😁
And hope to find any and all bugs planted by adversaries…i don’t know that for a fact but I wouldn’t doubt it. This cabal would sell America out in a heartbeat.
These folk know how hard resurrecting THEIR party is going to be.
They each are, whether they’ll ever admit it, responsible for the emergence of the “Tea Party” & Trump – effectively the final two acts in a play that was going to end very badly for them given that scene Act 1, Scene 1 was the day Ford pardoned Nixon.
“Tough guy” with a real fragile ego. Honestly…it’s almost over
Democrats, please remind voters in Republican controlled states that the reason this election results are still not called is due to State Republican policies such as PA.
Impressive data analysis/visualization and what it conveys!
As Kamala Harris nears victory, TN villages prepare for early Diwali.
