Hi- I'd like to make an announcement from Democrats Abroad, the official overseas branch of the U.S.-based Democratic Party with a chapter in South Korea. Since an extremely important election is coming in November, we're hoping to register more dual U.S.-Korean citizens and other eligible U.S. voters who live in South Korea.

We started our International Voter Registration Drive for 2026 with in-person and online events. If you know any eligible US citizens, they can register and request a ballot. Just send them this link: https://voteabroad.org/RedditVote26. As long as they'll turn 18 by election day, they're eligible.

If anyone wishes to learn more about what we're doing near you, you can find out more at https://www.democratsabroad.org/kr. We have regular in-person meetups and events online. If you have any questions about overseas voting or what we do, feel free to ask in the comments below.

Billionaires are soon going to learn -

Bernie WAS the compromise

Delaware is one of the nation’s most reliably blue states, currently featuring a supermajority in the state senate and just short of one in the lower chamber. It’s also a longtime corporate haven, where 60% of Fortune 500 companies were incorporated, due to business-friendly and consumer-unfriendly tax law and regulation. This is a product of state capture, as starkly demonstrated last year: when the Delaware Court of Chancery struck down a $55.8 billion pay package for Elon Musk challenged by shareholders, the legislature promptly passed the “billionaires’ bill” SB 21, written by his law firm, to make sure he could still get his money.

The Working Families Party is working to change that and get leaders into elected office who will fight for us and not the super-wealthy. In next month’s Democratic primary, they’ve endorsed a slate of challengers taking on incumbents who helped pass the billionaires’ bill, and they’re starting to gear up to get out the vote for these folks. ☎️ We can sign up for shifts turning out voters for Rae Krantz in House District 6 on Thursdays starting TODAY and running through September 10th here, and make calls for Shane Darby in District 1 this Saturday at noon here. ☎️

SUPPORT SHANE DARBY

Two of the most competitive and impactful midterm races will be in Maine, where we’re facing off against two very different kinds of right-wing oligarch enablers.

At the Senate level, we have a chance to flip a crucial seat for the majority by unseating the highly concerned Susan Collins, who can always be counted on to cluck her tongue and wag her finger at Donald Trump, right up until she provides him with the vote he needs to get his agenda over the top. We experience the consequences of her surrender constantly, with every ruling Brett Kavanaugh makes, with the loss of labor and delivery wards in her state and with the deportation machine’s murder of her constituents.

On the House side, GOP Second Congressional District nominee and former governor Paul LePage doesn’t bother with Collins’ hemming and hawing. Instead he’s gleefully embraced extremism, hate-mongering and corruption, repeatedly and noisily vetoing Medicaid expansion, deriding Social Security and Medicare and giving massive tax breaks to the wealthy while driving up property taxes.

Finally beating Collins is likely necessary for Democrats to control the Senate. Holding off LePage in one of the most Trump-friendly seats currently held by a Democrat is crucial for Democrats taking the House.

We’ve nominated two bold progressive fighters for the working class to take them on. Fifth-generation lumberjack and former Senate president Troy Jackson and state auditor and union man Matt Dunlap are running hard on Medicare for All and taxing the billionaires. They’re candidates with a vision to vote for, offering real solutions instead of the status quo.

Their campaigns are kicking into high gear, and they need our help. ☎️ Dunlap has just launched phonebanks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings running from 6-8PM ET. We can sign up for shifts here. And the Maine Democratic Party is getting going making calls for Jackson, Dunlap and candidates up and down the ballot on Thursdays from 6-8PM, which we can join here. ☎️
