This was a race the DNC heavily invested in, mobilizing more than 30,000 volunteers for get-out-the-vote efforts and extensive text and phone banking.

Her Republican opponent, meanwhile, ran as a hardline MAGA candidate—backing Trump’s immigration crackdowns, opposing abortion, denying climate change, spreading anti-vax conspiracies, railing against “woke,” and parroting Trump’s 2020 election lies. You get the point.

Yeah, except Joe isn't paid to spread the truth, cowboy. Joe is bought and paid for by the same cabal pulling Trump's strings, who placed JD in the #2 spot, and who are all but certainly implicated in those files themselves.

The world never needed to listen to Joe Rogan in the first place. Why would we listen to him now and why would you expose victims to him?

Shouldn’t that be up to them? Epstein survivors are planning to hold a press conference on Sept 3rd at the Capitol to bring public pressure on Congress to release confidential files related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking crimes. Appearing on Rogan’s show could certainly help with this effort.

Ya, lets Subject them to even more to the hatred of the MAGA cult. They are not political pawns. Using them in such a way dehumanizes them, & retraumatizes them. Rogan would only sacrifice their humanity for headlines. I'm sure for the press conference they have control over what is said.

The choice should be theirs not yours. Women who have never come out before are intending to partake. They have lawyers advising and representing them. They are mad that the DOJ is interviewing Maxwell but not them. Perhaps you aren’t aware of Rogan’s recent comments in the issue.

You can’t mobilize people who arn’t motivated. She was worth it. People recognize hard community work like hers. They know she’s fired up to do the people’s work!

Thank you. I’m hopeful this continues! We need a major shakeup here in Pittsburgh. I still can’t believe there are as many DT supporters here. Although we won blue. I still think that PA was hacked. Pennsyltuckians in the middle.

All elected republicans support children being raped and insurrectionist Trump-visit them at their homes and hold them accountable in anyway you feel necessary!

30,000 volunteers? That is 100 volunteers for every vote she got! So all we need in this country is... Does some bad math... 546,843,991 volunteers in 2028. 🤔

Progressive Aussie here. I'm intrigued. 30k volunteers to get <4k votes cast out of 7.2k? How many potential voters in this district? What would 'normal' turnout, ie, pre-Trump 2.0, look like?

30k volunteers for ~8k votes? Is that right?

Yeah, I think people don't tend to vote in off-year special elections like this. Which really sucks, because local elections are important. But yeah.

It's actually worse than that! 30k volunteers for <4k votes. That is not a meaningful strike rate
