The race wasn't called for Biden/Harris for four harrowing days post-election. The Biden/Harris team won the popular vote and the electoral vote; however, Trump and his minions are filing lawsuits in various states trying to cast doubts on the legitimacy of the election. In some cases, they're challenging the mail in results. In others, they're challenging the voting machines. His challenges are being overturned and declined, but the damage these lawsuits are causing to the American people on a ...
Election Day 2020
It's all come down to this day. I wrote and sent hundreds of postcards for downballot Democrats across the country. I donated money to political campaigns that I believed in. I texted with Victory 2020. The last wave of initial texting is finished, but we'll be picking up replies until polls close. I was both prayed for and called trash by Trump supporters.

Tammy Baldwin from Wisconsin takes the stage, and talks about health care. My insurance premiums have doubled as well, but I don't think Kerry will care about ...
Warning: Political Rant
I've been searching John Kerry's website trying desperately to find a way to suspend my dislike of him for 30 seconds in November. He's making it so hard.Example: Thor and I got a tax break thanks to GWB. Perhaps the only good thing for us that's come out of his reign. Kerry's site (which I presume speaks for Kerry) calls this a tax cut for the wealthy. Let me get this straight...multi-millionaire Kerry and multi-millionaire Edwards are calling Thor and I "the wealthiest Americans?" He ...
