@JoeBiden

Feels like a good time for a thread: We expect @JoeBiden to make his VP announcement this week, in anticipation of the Democratic National Convention kicking off on Aug. 17. My prediction is that we will hear on Monday the 10th. As many of you may know about me, I'm hoping /1

it's Kamala Harris, but no matter whom Joe chooses, I'll still be working as hard as I can between now and November to make sure we don't have 4 more years of Donald Trump. To that end, I have a few thoughts to share, which you are welcome to pass along if helpful:
/2

1. If you want to be part of the first conversations between the new VP nominee & Joe Biden, pls RSVP here -- as long as you donate any amount, you can be on their Zoom call. secure.joebiden.com/a/grassroots-f…
2. There is a saying that Democrats fall in love and Republicans fall in line. /3

Thread: A friend who is a Bernie supporter asked me for talking points for why Bernie supporters should vote for Biden, rather than sit this next election out. Sharing here in case others need the advice for folks they know who supported Bernie. /1

Most every democrat in America did not get their first choice of candidate. Everyone is understandably angry and frustrated when their candidate of choice is forced to drop out. We are almost all victims of having to settle. The anger and frustration will subside. /2

The DNC did not decide who would be the nominee. The voters decided. There were countless debates & voters rejected Elizabeth, Kamala, Pete, etc. Bernie is not a victim any more than the rest are. He also took an active part in the formulation of the DNC debate rules 2019-20. /3

True story. Two years ago a woman reached out to me whom I didn’t know to ask me to coffee to talk politics. Turns out she had been a Republican, but had voted for Hillary. After she watched the Kavanaugh hearings, she decided she could no longer be a Republican AND she /1

Told me she planned on helping the Democrats take back the White House in 2020. So she not only left her party because of Trump & the Kavanaugh confirmation, but she wanted to spend her free time to work elect a Democrat. Fast forward 2 years, & I heard from her tonight. /2

She wrote to tell me that she is thrilled that Biden may be the nominee and that she and her good friend (also ex-Republican) want to meet next week to discuss what they can do to help get Trump out of the WH. The reason this is important is b/c I would not have heard from her /3

Thread: I'm getting a lot of questions offline about what folks can be doing politically right now. Here are a few areas:
1. Donate, even small amounts to candidates you support, including folks running for US Senate. For example, Amy McGrath to flip Mitch McConnell's seat; /1

or Sara Gideon to flip Susan Collins' seat. Even $5 helps candidates b/c it all adds up.
2. Pick a cause that matters and donate and/or get involved. For example, find a chapter of Moms Demand Action for gun sense reform near you. It is an instant community of like-minded /2

people working to help pass common-sense gun reform laws. Or find another issue or cause that speaks to you.
3. If you don't want to volunteer for one candidate, sign up to register voters, especially in states that aren't already blue. Parts of VA, GA, NC, PA, TX, WI, MI, FL /3

Quick pep talk: We knew before it started that this Senate trial not be likely to end in impeachment. We have known this. Even if it wasn’t a sham trial, like it now seems to be, without witnesses, we knew removal was a long shot. So take a deep breath, & think about how mad /1

You are today and this weekend. And remember that these Republican votes were never within our control. And make a list of what you are willing to do through November which is within YOUR control. Making donations? Knocking on doors? Phone banking? Feeding canvassers? Driving /2

Voters to the polls? Hosting a fundraiser with your friends to talk about politics? Allowing your home to be used for phone banking parties? Whatever it is, you need to channel this frustration for the long haul to win in November. And, most importantly, don’t say you don’t /3

Quick impeachment thread: On January 21, 2020, as one of the few Americans admitted entry to the U.S. Senate gallery to bear witness to the Senate trial, I will be wearing white. While the sobriety of the occasion seemingly would demand dark attire, throughout the Trump /1

Tenure, women wearing white has symbolized defiance of this administration. White also symbolizes women suffragettes, I will wear white to represent the women & men who have spent the last 3½ years pushing back against a lawless president, & who can't attend the Senate trial. /2

Electronics are not allowed, so I will not be live tweeting. I hope you'll watch the evening news w your families & kids so they learn what accountability means. There are few Americans who believe that the Senate impeachment trial will result in the needed votes for removal /3
