We democrats are starting to give form to our roster of candidates for the upcoming November 3rd. election. It is still early days yet but the first signs of getting organized are appearing. With today's Amy McGrath announcement to run against the deeply unpatriotic mcconnell for his senate seat in Kentucky we could not have had a better beginning. There are other shakeups coming with the many presidential candidates that are testing the waters but soon several of them will see the writing on the wall and go to plan B which is to contest for congressional seats and governorships.
Our greatest needs outside of winning the presidency is to retake the senate while holding the house. But just as vital although not as publicized is to retake control of the state governments. That local control beneath the federal level is crucial to building a foundation for a lasting democratic vision for the future of our nation. It is really simple to accomplish if we all just do this one thing. Vote for every democrat on the ballot without exception. I know that our party is not perfect and has some dodgy characters for now, yet they are still head and shoulders above any republican candidate anywhere in the nation.
What republicans have shown us is that by far the vast majority of them will only follow the leader of the republican party despite the illogical outcomes and cruelty of such devotion. There can be no other way forward toward a democracy that cares about all of it's citizens. Yes, we democrats care about the wealthy but we don't put them above the poorest among us. We all get to have a chance at the American dream not have to live a republican nightmare of wealth induced privilege and advantage. So as our candidates start to fill the slots available for winning the next election we get that much closer to having that blue wave dream we are all working hard to create.
