gratitude-a-thon day 951: YOU can help get out the vote in New Hampshire

What are you doing today? Or tomorrow? Or Monday? If you don’t want a mysogynistic, impulsive, predatory, lying, racist narcissist to have possession of the nuclear codes, and be our next commander in chief, PLEASE HEAD TO NEW HAMPSHIRE AND HELP GET OUT THE VOTE FOR HILLARY AND THE GANG. IT’S A TIED RACE THERE, AND YOU CAN HELP CHANGE THAT.

I went to Dover, NH and knocked on doors yesterday, and it was great. Did you know that people are much more likely to get to the polls if someone knocks on their door and talks to them about the election? You could be that someone. Like, seriously, stop watching CNN and get out there. Plus, there is still plenty of great foliage in NH! C’mon, get off the couch!

Mary and I met on the soccer field through our girls many years ago. Who knew we’d one day be tromping through the woods getting out the vote together?

We’re with her. 

There was a dude working in the headquarters who came here from England to help out. When I said to him that it was impressive he’d come from such a distance, he replied, “There’s work to be done.” Love him! One woman who left her husband and job in Brooklyn back in June to work in Dover for Hillary–thanks, Colleen. My friend Mary, who asked me to canvas, has been living on a farm and working the “doors” for the last two weeks. These are amazing people who are walking the walk, and damn, I can’t thank them ALL enough.

The unassuming Democratic headquarters in Dover. Lots of hard working, dedicated people making it happen in there.

So, I know there’s lot of stuff you could do today, but the most important, impactful and seriously best thing you could do is try and tip NH into the Hillary column. If you need a connection, I can hook you up, but literally any headquarters in NH would love to see you today. Let’s get this thing done. #imwithher. THERE’S NOBODY ELSE TO BE WITH.

She made Donald Trump look like the impetuous  imposter he is (as if he needs any help with that). With a vocabulary of approximately 40 words, more facial expressions than an orangutan, and some bold faced lies, Hillary clearly crushed the reality star. Hey Donald, you’re fucking fired.

It’s clear that many Americans desperately want change and think a political outsider can bring it. However, Trump is not the right choice for the job. As Jordan Stratton tweeted, “Since Bernie didn’t win the nomination, I’m gonna vote for Trump. Also, since the store didn’t have my favorite beer, I’m gonna drink bleach.” That sums this race up for me. I respect anyone who feels the system is broken and wants something different, I just don’t understand wanting that something different to be an impulsive man who acts like a boastful and insecure 8th grade boy, who must pat himself on the back every few minutes, and deliver half-truths and bold-faced lies. (Did he really say he has a great temperament, a better temperament than Hillary?)

“I never said that.” I believe this is called lying, Donald. Dangerous lying.

There is too much at stake here to take a risk on a reality tv star who is living in his own reality (where facts are optional). Hillary is smart. Hillary is composed and measured, experienced and ready to be the leader of the free world. Donald Trump is not ready (hell, he’s barely ready for prime time, let alone the Oval). There is a clear choice here. One of the candidates is ready to lead. One of them is ready to lead us onto the set of The Apprentice. This is serious business. We can’t afford to have an apprentice.
