As a longtime reader of Marc Elias and his Democracy Docket, I have really been looking forward to this interview. Each in their own way, Simon & Hopium on the one hand, and Marc & his litigation & Docket on the other, are doing vital work to preserve American democracy. The importance of this work cannot be overstated!

Thank you so much!

Without Simon and Marc my mental health would be in a much worse place for sure. These two guys have given me hope, sharpened my donation practice, and motivated me to become way more involved than I ever have been before. Thank you both!

YES! Absolutely. My friends on the sidelines make me crazy. At the very least they could make a phone call once in a while! I'm working on them.

Two great American patriots in conversation--what could be better!? Ready for whatever Trump and his enablers throw at us. America hasn't struggled to be better for 250 years just to let this faux Generalissimo destroy all that progress. We mobilize the majority that still believes in democracy and is willing to sacrifice in order to save it.

Simon, I am so happy to hear you call for a national press conference with Dem congressional leaders; the governors, of blue states especially; Ken Martin; you, Simon, Marc; and all the leading voices in our fight to save our democracy. Beyond that, I believe we, everyone who believes in canvassing, should be out talking to D voters and Independent voters, listening to them and letting them know the threat to our elections is real, and voting in November is paramount!

Thanks for this. Great to see the two of you on the same screen. You two will have no difficulty explaining to your grandchildren what you DID when democracy was on the line. Each in your realm you are doing everything you can. I really like the points you make about how the political and legal realms can help each other and how important each is to the other. We kick ass in the election and Marc’s job is a hell of a lot easier. Marc kicks ass in the courtroom and we are energized and motivated.

What an important conversation! Thank you Simon.

I am so glad to hear that there's a big conversation going on behind the scenes to impact the public conversation about elections. We totally need that press conference.
