Years from now, people will ask us where we were in this moment. We don’t want the answer to be how we felt. We want the answer to be what we did.

6. she wears that slogan well

...I believe Kamala.

[oasis]

7. Rep. Maxine Waters, hit it out of the park as well.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. Not sure bout using it as a slogan. The "we" as in "us" are ALREADY better than any Rethug...

will every be. As for those Nazis, "they" are incapable of being better than this.

2. OMG!

I just watched part of her speech, she was on fire.

I love that woman.

9. That is one powerful tweet.

Thanks so much for posting, bigtree!

[oasis]

4. Strong message. Powerful appeal on behalf of the powerless.

Kamala hits a high note.

22. Thanks for post, she is a genuine leader, advocate for America. Glad this intelligent,

poised, articulate and passionate person is on our side. We are better than this! She's found our party's mantra for 2018, 2020.

[oasis]

24. "We are better than this" vs. "A better deal".

Maybe a DUer with faster fingers than mine can start an OP on that.

I'll check GD later after my senior nap.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

25. Siesta time for me too!

5. That is LEADERSHIP.

She has that *it* quality.

Her Senate seat may be the steppingstone to something greater.

She and others are on the right side of history.

12. I'm starting to become a believer

I’ve been a fan since 2016 but I’m seeing something different than I saw just a couple of years ago. There’s a gravitas, an it factor. She’s “coming on” to use some sports terminology.

[NY_20th]

14. She is one of the strongest voices we have.

Truly inspirational.

[Hekate]

8. KnR for my Senator

[sheshe2]

11. Lucky you, Hekate.

Not that I am complaining about mine in MA!

[Garrett78]

15. Mine, too. And hopefully our next POTUS.

[Paladin]

10. "We Are Better Than This!" ought to be the battle cry of the whole Democratic Party.

I wonder if the party leadership has guts enough to adopt it as such. I want several t-shirts.

[renate]

18. I love this slogan

It’s true, it’s catchy, and it’s memorable.

[nolabear]

19. I love it too! It's affirmative and hard to sneer at.

Since they love to manipulate messages let’s see them say “No we’re not” or even “No you're not,” to which we can easily say “We are. We all are. We can always be better.”

They want to fight about what means “better”? “Let’s talk about that.” If they refuse say nothing. Just let the rope play out.

We’re mostly talking to one another I know but it’s a message that says “Shame” without giving them anything to grab onto.

WE’RE BETTER THAN THIS!

NOSOTROS ESTAR MEJOR QUE ESTE!

(Translated so might be clumsy)

[BannonsLiver]

13. The dead inside JPR types are already organizing against her

That tells me two things.

1. They are terrified of her

2. She will be a force to be reckoned with if she runs.

I couldn’t be more impressed with her.

[Duppers]

23. JPR types?

Jackpine Radicals? Why would they hate her?

[llmart]

16. Love this woman!

I want to live long enough to see a team of Pres/VP women who are Democrats!

If nothing else it would make a lot of old, fat, disgusting white men in the GOP stroke out and thin the herd of racists and misogynists a bit.

[Garrett78]

17. Just having a Black woman as POTUS will make some heads explode. I look forward to it.

[BigmanPigman]

20. I am so glad to have two Dem senators...GO CA!!!!

And Dem reps in congress too.

[ehrnst]

21. I think we are seeing the future. (nt)

[GaryCnf]

27. This is a terrific slogan

Thank you Kamala for talking about us and not them.

28. I could never imagine how Hitler came to power. I believe I am

wittnessing it today.

[uponit7771]

29. There are too many parallels, its scary. Hitler was chosen PM by technicality also, his party

... only had 30% support and then for a short time the opposition didn't take him seriously and the rest of Germany thought the Nazis were deplorable too.

Germans showed too much civility in the face of the Nazis stupidity, IMHO, because Jews were less than 1% of the population at that time.

Benedict Donald's is going after America's less than 1% of population but looking at today's events I'm thinking he's not getting America to be so ... civil

[Upthevibe]

30. She's great! I heard her when I was there

but we couldn't get anywhere close to the stage so I didn't get to see her. But as I've said in other posts, there was a great speaking system all around so we could hear everyone really well. She is wonderful!

[bigtree]

31. thanks for attending!

...anyone else speaking to note?

[Cha]

33. Mahalo, Kamala!
