Presidential Debate
The first presidential debate of the year is tonight, June 27th.
As Indivisible National says:
“We know there’s no actual debate here: Democracy and abortion rights are on the ballot, and nothing Convicted Felon Donald Trump says on that debate stage will convince us that he and his MAGA Republicans will stop attacking our institutions, elections, and basic freedoms the second they get more power.”
But there are still a few reasons to watch:
“It keeps us attuned to what voters are hearing. In order for us to be effective messengers, we need to know what undecided voters are hearing. For a lot of those voters, the debate could very well be the first time they’re engaging with the election, making it their only reference point as they decide who to support.
It reminds us of the stakes. Trump is going to say a lot of awful things during the debate that are truly unhinged and fascistic. When that happens, it should serve as little more than a fortifying reminder of what we’re up against, of what the stakes are, and that we need to fight like hell against the anti-democracy, anti-abortion politics of MAGA.”
But Indivisibles know that democracy is not a spectator sport! When we’re done watching the debate, we’ll be ready for action: see below for canvassing trips, phone banks, and calls to our Members of Congress.
