MIKA BRZEZINSKI, ‘MORNING JOE’ CO-HOST: My attitude, if you will. So that’s the thing, is this morning and also all week, we’ve been talking about the frustration among a lot of Democrats that maybe the message isn’t breaking through to key voters. I mean, the polls seem so close every time a new one comes out, neck and neck.
And there’s this fear that Donald Trump is poised for victory. I think it’s fair for Democrats to be incredibly depressed. I think it’s fair for them to be discouraged.
I think it’s fair for them to explore whether Kamala Harris should be doing more. Feel free to do that. These things are all legitimate.
I don’t know what more she can do, especially given what happened, though, in 2016, because that was a trauma for anybody who loves this country and a trauma that didn’t end that day. Obviously, Democrats want to make up for lost time as Kamala Harris has just days left to truly introduce herself to the American people. At the same time, it could be argued she’s doing everything possible.
Rallies with tens of thousands of people, talk shows, radio, late night TV, podcasts, town halls are next. You can’t claim she’s not doing town halls. She wants to debate.
She’s hitting the battleground states multiple times.
Democrats have indeed gone past the point of desperation

“We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” Obama said.
“That seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. So if you don’t mind—just for a second, I’ve got to speak to y’all.”
He then said former President Donald Trump has shown “disregard, not just for the communities, but for you as a person.”
Obama asked hesitant voters, “And you are thinking about sitting out?”
