95 days left until the election (#4199)

     49 days until Minnesota and South Dakota begin their early voting, https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/. Can you feel the closeness of the election? I sure can and it feels so damn good! Here in California we vote 29 days earlier than November 3rd so in 66 days I will be able to cast my ballot, for every democrat on the ballot, and that I will do as early as possible. 95 days doesn't seem like a long time compared to the how long we have had to endure the criminal trump and his republican accomplices. The beauty of what time is left is that trump and his allies have no way of passing any legislation that is harmful to the working middle poor class while Nancy Pelosi sits in the House speakers chair.
     So we have to put up with trump and his temporary executive orders which by my count at least 99% of them are going to be reversed on the first day of the Joe Biden presidency. What has been great about how technology is incorporated into our lives is that nothing trump has done through executive order to dishonor our nation can be hidden from us once he is removed. We know what he has done and the record of it has been compiled so reversing his mess will be done simply by extinguishing his executive orders. As to legislation, the only thing of note that he got passed by the Congress was the wealthy tax cut law. But when we democrats retake the Senate and improve our numbers in the House we can easily pass new legislation that revokes those tax cuts and actually add taxes to the wealthy.
     In 95 days the best of what it is to be a liberal/progressive is going to be our new reality. We will annex the worst of republicanism to irrelevance and guide our nation forward with equality of opportunity, logical intelligence, and unfettered fairness, as our guiding principles. No more shall the wealthy, through advantage and privilege, control the narrative as to how society is to be shaped. That will be what we the people decide and I cannot wait for that new paradigm in American politics to begin. 49 days for some states and then a flurry of others just after that begin the early voting and it is then that we will be banking up votes for our new President Biden so that when November 3rd rolls around we will be able to declare that trump has been defeated early on in the evening, even before all the polls have closed on the west coast.
