Only if you allow it.

Do you respond to some stupid political polling and scare mongering articles by insisting that Biden can’t win and demotivating Democrat voters? Or do you respond by talking to people and getting them to text their friends in swing states to tell them to vote?

Mobilize voters rather than just passively putting down your own check mark in November. Build energy for the campaign rather than diminishing it.

It’s not the fucking weather that we can’t do anything about. It’s not a hurricane. It’s human beings making a choice. Our narratives matter to that choice. It literally makes all the difference in the world.

Don’t passively assume defeat. Especially as it gets close to November. Let the media burn all their sabotaging, pro-corpo bullshit now. Let it be old news. Get inoculated against it. Then this fall, when we’re getting close, be relentless. Reach out, make connections, push that missing voter participation so it’s fresh in everyone’s minds.

We absolutely have this, but only if we put out the effort to take it.

I really doubt you’ll have this, no matter what you do

That’s because the corpo media really wants you to doubt that we’ll have this.

I think it’s more that the candidate you’re running isn’t great and the candidate running against you just got a hell of a boost on top of the lead he already had. Hard to believe you’re going to turn this around.

I’d rather let you figure out your own elections
