@UnrealBluegrass Are we electing the best president for the United States or the best debater? I'm with Biden all the way.

@PoliticusSarah I wonder how many voters have been disenfranchised this year. The F&M students spoke out, but how many others were affected?. This is my county, and yes, she should absolutely be charged. This was intentional.

@JohnJHarwood Huh. Next you're going to tell me that it is actually a white supremacist gang who is actually responsible for selling fentanyl. Not immigrants.

@BlackKnight10k Aren't we tired of listening to Trump trash America? This is the greatest country in the world. Perfect? No! not by a long shot. If he doesn't like it, he should leave.

@piper4missouri More reason for all of us "normal" people to work to get Joe Biden elected. He would never act in an un-American way.

@piper4missouri I had a kid in class who led a big cheating ring. I caught them and all the kids got into big trouble. That kid is now the leader of our local Republican party. It tracks.

@scarylawyerguy Realistically, the Republicans don't have anything on Harris or Walz that even comes close to the stuff we already know about Trump.

@MeidasTouch According to 538 (post-debate) Biden is leading in the crucial swing states of MI, PA, and WI. If he wins there, he wins the electoral college. 270.

@PoliticusSarah If Vance's interaction at the donut shop is any indication of his ability as an effective campaigner, then I think that is an excellent strategy. Approve 💯.

@BlackKnight10k Time to get out there and text/phone bank, canvass the neighborhoods, and write postcards to voters. One less than stellar debate does not mean Biden is a bad president. He is still the best in my lifetime.

I just ran one of the hardest races ever. Only a 10k but I am hobbling around like I ran a marathon. Runners had to haul ourselves up steep, icy slopes on a rope! Twice! Cross a river on a log! Fireball and sticky buns afterward. Would do it again in a heartbeat! #trailrunning

@matthewjdowd I think Biden supporters are more energized than ever to do what it takes to win in Nov. We are writing postcards and letters, attending meetings and rallies, phone/text banking, and canvassing neighborhoods.

@writer_gillis @cbouzy We're not going to give up their rights. And. I don't know what polls he is looking at. I just looked at 538. They have Biden ahead in MI, PA, and WI in polls taken AFTER the debate. If he wins those 3 states, he wins the election. 270.

@ruthbenghiat It is infuriating that these (mostly) white, entitled MEN feel like they get to choose the Dem nominee. Because of course Black people and women could never be trusted to select the right person. Dean Phillips ran on "Biden's too old" in the primaries. He was soundly rejected.
