If you live in a safe blue state and you have a few dollars to spare or time to make a few phone calls for a candidate In November, please look to the southeast.
The completely disgusting Trump lackey GOP House Rep Marsha Blackburn won her primary last night in Tennessee. She will now face former two time popular Tenn Gov Dem Phil Bredesen in The general to replace retiring Bob Corker in the U S Senate.
Yes, Bredesen may be a little busy friendly for more progressive Dems like me. But, hes as liberal as you can get in Tenn and still win. And, Blackburn is as far right economically and socially as they come. She completely backs Trump. Google any of her speeches or commercials.
Early polling shows Bredesen with a slight lead. Please consider helping him.

As for the Governorships, please go one state down from Tenn into Georgia.
Self described rootin tootin redneck nra lover Brian Kemp is the current Sec of State. He has been all about voter suppression against people of color. And, now, ironically enough, he will face a black woman in November. Georgia state Rep Stacey Abrams is vying to become the nations first black female Governor. Kemps tv ads show him teaching a teenager all about using shotguns. He is fully backed by Trump. Stacey is an unabashed progressive who has worked to increase voter registration.
Early polling shows a dead heat.
Please consider helping her.

Come on, southern folks, please back me up and get some support behind Abrams and Bredesen.
They are both good candidates and their opposition are both disgusting vermin.
Go Stacey!
Go Phil!

(1,020 posts)Bredesen should win handily against Blackburn if sanity and policy points were the main influences.
However, Blackburn will be turning on the hate and negative commercials here making it a close race.
