Keeping our momentum these last 97 days (#3470)

     Not only keeping our democratic momentum for these last 97 days but growing it as well. I have never been so laser focused on an election this far out in my life. Every indicator of the strength of our coming bluewave is being reasoned and analyzed with extreme anticipation. So far so good. Given the cruel and brutish behavior of trumps and his acolytes the republican party the feeling that our bluewave will be tremendous is not less than likely. Just how tremendous will it be is the question and it is a very important one. given the safe harbor of gerrymandering that republicans pulled off in 2010. The bluewave has to be enormous for us to undo the majorities that republicans have manipulated.
     As full of despair and disbelief as I was after this last election I am just as inversely excited for this election. There is no doubt as to the error of giving trumps the presidency through appointment and the ones who voted with a false hope for trump now realize their mistake. Yet there are others who voted for trump who will never leave him due to some cult reasoning that has more to do with biased illogical processes than common sense. But even with those who have abandoned trump now voting against him and his party we democrats still need to make sure we all vote and we get new voters to the polls. Sometimes it is like trying to herd cats when it comes to getting democrats to vote, especially in midterm elections, but so much is at stake for our futures that no effort can be spared.
     We have the great opportunity to turn the trump debacle around and start to make life better for all of us Americans and we need to do it now. Every day leading up to the election nothing can have a greater priority in our lives than this election in November. Getting people registered, making sure we are on the voting rolls, going to call centers and contacting everyone in America if possible to vote for all democrats on the ballot. Volunteering to take people to the voting stations on November 6th. Anything and everything, including giving what little available money we have to candidates so that they can continue to get the democratic message out. We must all roll up our sleeves and be prepared to fight for our democracy otherwise, as we have seen, republicans will take it from us.
