Joe, a lot of young people are f**king idiots. You know who I'm talking about. Rose Twitter. The ones who religiously listen to Chapo and the Young Turks. Who think you're a rapist and secretly part of the KKK. They are the ones who go tearing down statues of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. These people suck, so please, please, please, ignore them.
Do not kowtow to their demands, because you don't owe them a damn thing. It's a lose-lose scenario. If they didn't turn out for their god emperor in the primary, don't expect them to turn out for you in the general. Plus if you start trying to appease them, all you do is give the opposition ammo to call you a "radical leftist" and exploit culture war fissures to flip people who are on the fence. Seriously. Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn can attest how going hard left totally won't result in a wipeout. Luckily for you, there's no need to do that, because 99% of them live in New York, San Francisco, Seattle, DC and Boston anyway.
You are leading in almost all swing states and are within striking distance in Georgia and Texas because so far, you have turned the race is a referendum on that incompetent, corrupt and all-around horrible thing that sits in the White House. That is why you are on track to get great minority turnout, win independents and flip a significant number of moderate Republicans. Keep it that way. Also, while big rallies are probably off the table, find a way to get Barack and Michelle involved. If there's anyone who can boost black turnout, it's them. And see if you can release a well-timed endorsement from Kasich, Schwarzenegger or even Romney.
Tammy Duckworth is your best choice for a running mate, and it's really not even close.
Don't get complacent, and do not let up until Wolf Blitzer projects a winner. This election has always been very winnable for you. You've got this.
