(#6288) Today is trump's last hope to keep his monopoly!

      The early vote is done and now the same day vote begins. This has world implications! Not only here in our Congress but to our allies and enemies. This vote in Virginia today will decide whether trump has a hope to save the House of Representatives with a republican majority or not. The vote outcome today does not guarantee either side will win the House but it will tell a continuing narrative of democratic overwhelming momentum or it will tell a tale of republican resurgence. Either way today is a day that can justifiably begin writing the history of trumps last 2 years in office. This vote has been close enough to being even that no one can for sure predict the outcome.
     Redistricting is not a subject that excites democrats because we know the inherent injustice it brings. However, republicans have no such qualm about redistricting if it brings them victories. Which is why we democrats must put aside our disgust with gerrymandering and employ it as a weapon to fight against republicans who are using the same weapon against us! Like the gladiators of old who are thrust into battle and given equal weapons, the fight will be one sided if we democrats refuse to use our weapon. So with moral indignation overcome, we grab our weapon and fight like hell to survive. Such it is with this vote today in Virginia. The democratic conscious must allow a temporary gerrymander to counter what trump will do to us if we don't.
     It isn't just here in the States. The world will be a worse place if we don't have a check on this incredibly ruthless president who holds little value or respect for the rule of law or democratic principles. We the people through the democratic party and our independent allies must restore dignity to our government before the chance to do it is gone. Today in Virginia is one of those make or break moments that will ultimately decide whether our nation and the world has a good chance of saving democracy as the guiding principle for life on Earth. Today won't conclude that but it will be a long stride forward or backward for our democracy, and we cannot afford any more steps backward!
