Also consider running yourself too for those local down ballot races and or encouraging progressives you know to do the same!

If you're a US citizen living abroad, there's the Democrats Abroad party chair to reach out to, there are also various US territory chairs too (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, DC, etc.)

Reading more about DNC chair elections, the state party's vice chair usually also votes for chair too (among others). For Texas, that's Shay Wyrick-Cathey ([email protected])

For what it's worth it looks like his comments about trans people are what produced a large push to get the Texas Democratic party chair to step down. He said he was stepping down the day after he gave an apology

[email protected] or also [email protected] seemed to be listed on various California Democratic Party documents for him

If anyone else is having any issues finding the contact emails, reply to me with a state and I can try to help you find it!

Then make sure to tell the people actually voting for the chair to give the pushback they need to see that's a mistake. Change is only going to come when we speak up

It's not voted on directly, you are going to want to talk to your state's party chair to try to convince them vote on the type of chair like you would a congress person on a vote for something. In the body of the post, you can find how to find your state's party chair

Here's the table copied over:

No, no it made your other comment funnier

It's probably a reference to when Trump called Tim Cook, Tim Apple by accident

Yes, they did really buy Info Wars. Here's a serious site talking about it:

That's assuming that all Trump supporters vote down ballot. I've been reading that a non-negligable percentage of Trump voters just voted for president and left down ballot races blank. Considering Trump only won the swing states by tiny percentages, a small percentage of Trump voters leaving blank the rest is easily enough to sway it

For instance, if we look at Wisconsin senate, we see that Tammy Baldwin has almost exactly the same number of votes as Harris (only a couple hundred more), but Eric Hovde shows less substantially votes than Trump got

Results with ~99% reported:

Donald Trump: 1,697,769

Kamala Harris: 1,668,082

(And about 40k for third party)

Vs senate

Tammy Baldwin: 1,668,545 [+436 from Harris]

Eric Hovde: 1,641,181 [-56,615 from Trump]

Separate from the Dems, but The Lincoln Project did run some ads aimed literally just at Trump to make him angry at his campaign staff. Here's one example that ran on Fox News during the hours that Trump was most likely to watch it. The Trump campaign ended up sending a cease and desist over it

We have avoided some of the worst case this election. Down ballot dems have done a lot better than for president and that's going to matter to keep them from being able to do anything without infighting fears. We could've been looking at a 57-43 senate should the swing states not have largely split their votes between senate and president. Instead we're likely looking at a 53-47 or 52-48 senate.* The house could've also been worse too.

In state legislatures, dems did fairly well all things considered. State legislatures are the place that resistance to Trump is most likely to really be effective. We've managed to keep a lot of state legislature seats and even flip some in other areas. For instance, we broke up North Carolina's republican super majority for instance which means the Democratic governor-elect can have effective vetos. We kept the 1 seat majority in the PA state house in a funny way of having two seats flipped in opposite directions and canceling each other out

*The Associated Press has called PA for McCormick, but Decision Desk actually thinks that Casey has a ~66% chance of winning still and neither campaign has conceded. McCormick is saying he thinks the call was incorrect and thinks things will could actually flip with the last 100,000 or so votes left to count and or may go to recount

EDIT: and to add on for further context, Decision Desk is usually some of the first to call any race - to the point where some people say their calls are premature. The AP usually calls races after Decision Desk. The AP usually is much more slow on their calls which is why this situation is so strange where the AP has called it but Decision Desk hasn't and thinks it actually has 2/3 odds of going the opposite way that the AP called it
