If Canada can do it.. we can do it!!!! Vote them out of office

The conservatives were supposed to take everything in Canada as of a couple of months ago.. but look what happened last night1

Great Britain got smacked backwards by the whole idea of Brexit.. their Maga movement.. and guess what.. Labor took it all last election..

No more complaining about our Democrats not being strong enough.. they are Democrats one and all.. and getting the Independents to join us and the Republicans who have had enough of this nonsense

WE CAN DO THIS!!! and the time is now.. boost your local party.. help it get more active, and accept that Democrats come in all flavors also from Bernie to Obama.. we all have our place in the party.. and welcome new people in and not demand the loyalty test..

Postcarding, GOTV, canvassing, phonebanking...there are things that most everyone can do.

4. Canada has the advantage of having snap elections in a month. Imagine if that happened here.

Let's hope we have elections next year and that they are free, fair, and unhacked elections.

I hope after the Harris loss last year that Democrats have learned to become more vigilant and less complacent or overconfident when it comes to our elections and make no assumptions about any of our candidates and their ability to win. Because I think too many of us assumed that Harris would win, that the womens' vote would push her over the top.
It didn't. She received 4% less of the female vote than Biden did in 2020 when she needed more of it. She lost 13% of the Latino vote and even 2% of the Black vote.
So no assumptions this time.

Plus Republican controlled states are going to pull out the stops when it comes to voter suppression since nobody in the DOJ will hold them accountable.

7. I read somewhere where Macron of France was thinking of holding a new election

because the numbers favored him as the people backlash against authoritarianism. I think it was only last year that the French had an election that wasn't favorable to liberals.
