  • This is the latest email the Harris team sent out. I have no idea why they think Trump et al would ever be “impressed” by any number.

    "In just a few days, the DNC closes the books on the most important FEC fundraising deadline since the last election.

    When this deadline ends, they are legally required to report how much money they’ve raised. The number of donations they’ve received will also be public.

    Everyone will be watching: the press, the Trump administration, and more.

    They’re looking to see how much grassroots enthusiasm there is for stopping Trump’s agenda, and these numbers are a big part of that.

    If they file a big report with lots of donations, Republicans will know they’ll face stiff opposition when Congress tries to pass Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires, paid for by cuts to lifesaving programs.

    If the DNC files a weak report, then the Trump administration and the press will see there’s no pushback to what they’re trying.

    So this is a big deal. And it’s why the DNC is hoping for lots and lots of donations before this deadline ends."

    How would it help to leave? Lots of cowards have already done so. Have you ever considered that maybe it’s because so many progressives are leaving that now we don’t have the numbers you want to see when we protest? That the people who would have been protesting are already gone?

    I’m fully willing to die fighting fascism in this stupid civil war, but it isn’t a war until we get some governors and coast guard on board. Until that point, anyone who does anything violent is just a ‘lone terrorist’ and will probably be disappeared to El Salvador.

    Leaving is not speaking out. Leaving is not fighting. It is only for your own survival, and it leaves the rest of us with less to fight with and less to fight for.
