I imagine many of us, myself included, woke up with a sense of greater urgency today, after the heartbreaking loss of RBG last night. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Gebrochenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gebrochenes Herz">

I believe that we must win the election with such overwhelming numbers that it cannot be contested. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌊" title="Wasserwelle" aria-label="Emoji: Wasserwelle">

Especially in key elections. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⏬" title="Nach unten zeigendes doppeltes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes doppeltes Dreieck">

It is crucial that we take the majority of seats in US Senate and remove McConnell as majority leader.

There are 8 US Senate seats that seem flippable to blue and two that are at risk of being flipped red.

I think we ought to focus on them most.

Remember that removing McConnell as majority leader comes down to taking the majority of seats in the US Senate.

Even if he is not defeated in the 2020 election, if we control the majority he will only be the minority leader for the GOP and not have the power he enjoys now.

Why is it so important that we remove McConnell as majority leader of the Senate at all costs?

Here& #39;s a rundown from @AriBerman on @DemocracyNow that I think provides a great summary of what he& #39;s been up to and why he& #39;s so dangerous - especially now.

We also have the US Supreme Court in play, after McConnell has spent the majority of his time packing the judiciary with unqualified far right justices, he promised moments after RBG& #39;s death to try to jam another US Supreme Court justice in, this after denying Merrick Garland. 5/

The dynamics in the US House are different, in that we& #39;re likely to keep our majority, but we ought to work to strengthen it anywhere and everywhere we can!

Here are the key House races and @Politico& #39;s predictions for 2020.

Adopt a candidate!

Getting out the vote is also a crucial underpinning for how we win this election.

There are key 8 states that we should put as much effort in to as we can to promote a higher voter turnout for democratic candidates up and down ballot.

There are a lot of opportunities to promote a larger voter turnout that I believe everyone should explore. Many of them don& #39;t require leaving our home and can still have a big impact.

Check out this thread about getting out the vote for more details.

Remember that people are voting right now.

The election is happening as you read this thread.

There is a palpable sense of urgency and we need to act on it.

Instead of November 3rd being the election, every day including November 3rd is the election!

It& #39;s go time. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌊" title="Wasserwelle" aria-label="Emoji: Wasserwelle">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌊" title="Wasserwelle" aria-label="Emoji: Wasserwelle">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌊" title="Wasserwelle" aria-label="Emoji: Wasserwelle">
