Seven months until the midterm elections.

Last edited Tue Apr 3, 2018, 01:48 PM - Edit history (1)

Can you make it?

Can the country make it?

What could possibly happen between now and then?

What should Democrats do between now and election time?

What if the unthinkable happens and Republicans maintain control of everything?

Should these questions not be asked? Are they too "negative", too "Debby Downer"?

2. I spoke to a 55 year old woman (approx) that I know yesterday

She said that she has not voted in 30 years. But has already registered to vote in the next set of elections.

Her apathy is over as I think quite a few others are the same way.

Who think it's "better" if the mass shooter is white.

Vote
Vote for the Democrat
Make sure the disenfranchised can vote, combat voter suppression
Look outside the voting system - https://www.aeinstein.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/FDTD.pdf
Either way, win or lose, we need to start defending our fellow Americans from things like our own government's "war on (some) drug (user)s" and defending ourselves and our fellow Americans FROM the "greatest healthcare system in the world"... and that should start today.

Can you make it? Yes

Can the country make it? Yes

What could possibly happen between now and then? alien invasion, Zombie Apocalypse, business as usual, nothing...

What should Democrats do between now and election time? Stop worrying more about the last election than the upcoming one. Encourage people to vote

What if the unthinkable happens and Republicans maintain control of everything? Prepare for 2020. Learn from mistakes

Should these questions not be asked? Are they too "negative", too "Debby Downer"? They simply point out the world is how it is, not how we want it to be
