I’m sitting at a progressive “election watch party for introverts” here in Atlanta and vibes are so good people are actually introducing themselves to each other.

Indivisible ATL @indivisibleatl.bsky.social · 16d

Our marchers in the Little Five Points Parade got a surprise visit from Rohit Malhotra, Indivisible ATL’s choice Atlanta City Council President.

Polls open again Monday to vote @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social!

A group of people stand in the middle of the street as a part of a local parade. Crowds gather on either side. The two people in front ride an inflatable unicorn and an inflatable peacock; they carry a banner that reads, “Indivisible ATL.” Behind them stands an inflatable angler fish, a boy riding shark, and a man in an inflatable swimming ring holding up a “Rohit for City Council President” sign. Rohit Malhotra, a thirty-something Indian American man with a beard, stands in the foreground and cheers with his right hand in the air. To his left stand two teens in costumes from The Princess Bride— a girl dressed as Inego Montoya and a boy dressed as Westley carrying a “No Kings”sign. Other marchers stand farther back.

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

Yesterday I wrote about the effort by center-left pundits to police what people are passionate about.

Sincerity is not the problem

As is inevitably the case after an election — and is especially the case after an election with an unexpected result — allies of the losing presidential candidate in 2024 looked for people to blame. O...

Next up is Congressman @hankjohnson.house.gov, who represents much of Atlanta. He says Atlanta is “the city too busy to hate”. He invokes Dr King’s “Beloved Community” of the city’s residents and asks why our leaders aren’t interested in building it.

At the #Atlanta #NoKings, @staceyabrams.com lays out ten steps to regain a pluralistic democracy and achieve democracy. Asks everyone to do more than vote and protest and gives specific requests.

This was the strongest speech and the loudest applause so far.

Now @staceyabrams.com is addressing the crowd. She says this is now a fight against authoritarianism rather than over policy. She is listing the steps of autogolpe.

@warnock.senate.gov is addressing the Atlanta #NoKings crowd. He’s talking about Donald Trump as a fascist dictator, he is committing to not voting to reopen the government without extending ACA credits, and he is asking everyone to get involved outside of just protests and voting. Lets go.
