I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to all of you to join me at the victory dance of this election. The victory dance will take place on a number of days but first and foremost on the day of the election.
The victory dance will be our GOTV effort. The victory dance will be running up the score by going door to door. The victory dance will be running up the score by phone banking. The victory dance will be the biggest popular vote victory in my lifetime. I'd like to say the biggest victory period in my lifetime, but looking at the electoral map I just think that's a pipe dream. But I hope you prove me wrong.
GOTV like we're down 1 point. Not like we're down a lot and don't know if we'll win. GOTV like we know we'll win and we know that we need to run up the score. GOTV like the world depends on it, because despite my pessivism it may well. GOTV like it matter in the next argument you have with your conservative relative. Because it does. GOTV like your life depends on it, because even if your life doesn't then someone's does. GOTV like as much as you don't want to go to war with Iran. GOTV like you don't want to be ruled by a robot.
GOTV like you know that winning means less people will die in wars, because it's true. GOTV like you know that I'm less likely to get arrested, because it's also true. GOTV like you know that Romney would destroy every federal union, because he would.
But most of all, GOTV because it's a fucking victory dance. Because after that long day of calling and knocking on doors and correlating list and telling people where their voting place is and telling people where the voting district they have to go to is and telling people that we're going to win and we're going to win big, after that day. After that day. After that day, sitting down and seeing that the spread in Texas was only 5%(I'm calling it now), and seeing that Obama won Georgia(also calling it now), and seeing that we didn't just win, but we ran the board. That. That right there is the victory dance. Knowing that you weren't just a part of voting and organizing for something that is a horrible alternative, but knowing that you were part of mobilizing enough people to fully and completely refudiate the conservative machine.
Despite the money. Despite the spin. Despite the angry racism. Despite the attempts at voter suppression. Despite the stupidity. Despite all of this. We are going to win. We are going to win and you are going to make it happen. We are going to dance on the grave of conservatism. We are going to dance on the grave of the radical right. We are going to dance on the grave of the racists and the sexists and the assholes and it is going to be great.
So please, please join me in this GOTV victory dance. It's going to start tomorrow and crescendo to election day and it is going to be beautiful. So join me in victory. Join me in GOTV. Join me in crushing the man who would be the emperor with no clothes. Join the GOTV effort and win one for Obama.
