I think you guys can rig the election without my 3 bucks a week, but thanks for asking.

Dear MoveOn member,
As we're seeing tonight, Trump is more desperate—and dangerous—than ever before. On top of the bumbling bluster we heard tonight, Trump has repeatedly threatened to reject the results of the election, has suggested throwing out some mail-in ballots, and has even refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power.
These are the goals of a desperate narcissist who knows that he can't win fair and square and who will stop at nothing to cling to power.
And that's exactly why I'm writing to you tonight—to plead with you not to lose hope or fall into cynicism and to ask that you join in me in turning anger into action.
Plain and simple, the best way to stop Trump and preserve our democracy is through handing Joe Biden a massive, unquestionable landslide victory that cannot be ignored or undermined. As I so often say, MoveOn's track record of success in powering massive get-out-the-vote efforts and winning elections is exceptional.
With only 35 days left in this election and our democracy on the line, will you chip in $3 a week to MoveOn to sustain their huge get out the vote programs in this final stretch? (MoveOn will bill your weekly donation to your credit card once a month starting today and will contact you shortly after the election to see if you want to modify or cancel your weekly donation.)
Here is just some of what they have planned for the final sprint toward Election Day: Taking their successful program to turn out voters directly to the streets! For the past few months, MoveOn has been recruiting hundreds of thousands of voters to sign pledges to ensure that three of their friends and family also vote in the election. In the final stretch, MoveOn and its allies are expanding this
program by positioning canvassers at polling places in key Democratic districts to catch voters immediately after they leave the voting booth and ask them to text three of their friends or family to make sure they get out to vote. Tests have shown that this program is stunningly effective—and it could be the difference between winning and losing in swing states!
Holding get-out-the-vote digital rallies and volunteer events. MoveOn members will be coming together every week to volunteer their time to call and text voters in these crucial final days, using people power to combat the lies from the right and building the movement we need to win across the country on Election Day.
Continuing work to identify and inspire "high-potential voters." MoveOn has been laser-focused on identifying and turning out voters in the most important Senate and presidential swing states, via advanced analytics and digital outreach. These programs will all continue full-tilt until every vote has been cast.
Ensuring that the GOP Senate hypocrites who are forcing through a Supreme Court nomination reap the consequences at the ballot box. Just four years ago, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and their cronies all refused to confirm a Supreme Court nominee almost a full year before Election Day, but now they are
forcing through a far-right extremist after voting has already begun. MoveOn is doing everything possible to stop the confirmation, but they will also make sure that Republican senators up for re-election are given their pink slips by voters.
These final few weeks before the voting is over may be some of the most important weeks in U.S. history.
They will make the difference between plunging our nation into authoritarianism(HAHAHA)or providing a real chance to fix the democracy that Trump and the GOP have broken, rebuild our economy, dismantle systemic racism, and face the existential crisis of climate change head-on.
