Thanks for letting us know the name of the amazing girl who took the video of the hideous murder of George Floyd, Darnella Frazier, and letting us know she was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for her achievement. It changed history,

I have to admit, I was a bit fearful of her picking Tim Walz. If she couldn’t pick Gretchen Whitmer, I wanted her to pick a safer pick, Kelly. I am so happy she had the courage to pick Tim Walz. I didn’t know much about him, but after studying and watching him, I have been so impressed! He has character, high morals and just appears to be a good man. He also has done some pretty amazing things as Gov. of Minnesota. I am even more fired up! I am currently residing back in Washington state. We are not a swing state, and are a Blue area, so I have begun writing get out the vote letters for Pennsylvania and will move on to any other states needing support! Victory will be ours!!!

I have been telling everyone to refer to Walz as "coach." He was a real coach, and Americans LOVE the role of the coach.

Democrats have been accused of lousy messaging. We've been handed a gift here. Coaches live and breathe pep talks.

From the time of FDR -- until Barack Obama's second term -- our nation received these pep talks in the form of the weekly address from the White House. Damn, how we needed those during the pandemic.

Trump stopped doing them and for whatever reason, Biden did not revive them. OK... Bring them back, and have Coach Walz deliver them. The weekly pep talk.

Michael you have much more influence than many of us nobodies so can you please pressure Kamala to agree to stop funding Israel and demand a ceasefire.

Expand full comment

Yes, please supppt a 2 state solution in Palestine and Israel.

The truth is that Israeli settlers built their homes on Palestinian land. How is that ok?

Then imprisoned them in their own land. How can anyone support that??

It’s time the Palestinians are heard.

If you want to be effective, write to the White House. https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

The admnistration's people actually read your comments, and if enough people write in, he will listen. I've received a response every time I've contacted the White House. I never got a response when Trump was president.

I hope Mike uses his power to convince people who say they won't vote--in protest to Biden's continued support arming Israel and his failure to demand a cease fire--to vote for Harris. Not voting will only get Trump re-elected, and he does not care about Palestine or a ceasefire.

Harris must be very discreet about this subject while campaigning. She can't say too much publicly about her disagreements with Biden, because she is technically still part of the Biden administration. And she does not yet have the power to do anything about Israel and Palestine herself. When she is president, she will will listen to us and it will be clear: a 2-state solution is the best solution.

It's an adrenalin shot to see her and him! While the coordinated, naked republican effort right now to pack voting and vote count operations is no joke, it is comical to see trump frantically trying to land a punch and a lie and a label on the Democratic candidates - anything, anything - and only digging himself deeper in the sewer he has created! "Black jobs"! "Communists!" Right now, she holds all the cards.

A friend of mine reminded me that we should put BIG American flags out with our signs (and lights for nighttime - solar lights will do nicely). Democrats need to reclaim patriotism. Voting for democracy and the Harris/Walz is patriotic.

My U.S. flag hangs big and beautifull on my porch railing for all to see! It's up for the first time since my Proud Boy neighbor joined the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Funny how his life got better under Biden, and he got nicer.
