Democrats and the voting booth (#3338)

     All that is on my mind is the chance to vote again to end the republican destruction of our nation. Since republicans control the check on trump and are not using it the only way we can stop trump is to get the control of our government back from republicans. They control the Senate and the House so the Senate and the House is where we can take control back from republicans this coming November 6th. I cannot spend an honest minute thinking about anything else without it coming back to politics. But I have always known this about life. You cannot just live your life by thinking that politics is moot. Because all of our freedoms and rights come from politics and if we don't defend our freedoms and our rights then people like trump will come along and take them from us.
     Our democracy demands a duty from us to protect it and we do that by engaging in the politics at our local, county, regional, state and national levels. We owe it to our foreparents to engage in ways that lift up our society to a better station than when we received it much like our past generations have. What is happening now is a reversal of that great momentum forward and it is chilling and brutish to the core of us. We allowed this to happen by ignoring our duty to guide our democracy with a vigilant awareness of wise involvement. We let others tell us what is what instead of we learning what is what through our own discovery. We looked upon our duty to our democracy as a burden instead of a sacred trust.
     We allowed the trumps to be in power by ignoring our duty but we can reverse that and we are doing so now through the properly alarmed voting in special elections. Our new found respect for our duty to vote for candidates that improve the American dream of equality, fairness, justice and opportunity is growing and that is what we are calling the blue wave. This blue wave is the counter to our previous inattentiveness. Now we are at the crux of it with the realization that by allowing trump we have given ourselves a poison and the only cure to it is to negate the power that trump has while in office. We are doing that and in the voting booths throughout our nation it is coming to be.
