VOTE

We need Democrats to have majority control of the Senate, House of Representatives, and Presidency.

The hypocrisy of the Republicans, whose sole aim seems to be winning and holding power, goes against everything we all say we want our country to stand for: Liberty and Justice for All. Diversity. The American Dream.

When a Supreme Court opening happened during President Obama's time, the Republican-controlled Senate refused to even hold hearings to confirm Merrick Garland, saying it was an election YEAR - and they wanted the next president to decide. That election was 270 days away.

Now they've rammed through yet another super-conservative judge, who will push the court -- and our country further from justice. Further from fairness for every one of us - Queer people, women, Black people, Indigenous People, People of Color, the disabled, religious minorities - all the disenfranchised and under-represented people.

We must stand up to them.

We must vote.

We must bend the arc of history - the arc of NOW - back towards justice.

VOTE them out.

VOTE for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

VOTE for Democratic Congresspeople.

VOTE for Democratic Senators.

The Democrats aren't perfect, but we see what Republicans in power care about.

At the risk of giving him more spotlight, here's a recent quote from our current president

"They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again...”

They know they can't win fair, so they're not playing fair.

We need a landslide against Trump, to get him and his Republican enablers out of power.

VOTE like your life -- and the lives of those you care about -- is in the balance.

Because it is.

Final words of this post go to Joe Biden:

"The rushed and unprecedented confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett as Associate Justice to the Supreme Court, in the middle of an ongoing election, should be a stark reminder to every American that your vote matters..."
