NOW WE FIGHT, No More Nice

Democrats have historically played the role of the Mr/Ms Nice People. We have been the ones who bent over backwards to be civil. We were asked to be bi-partisan and meet in the middle. But the “middle” kept moving away from us, so we would oblige dutifully and shuffle along after it. Until finally, FINALLY, some folks started to get smart about this. (I’m not sure exactly who, but seems to me Bernie Sanders may have been in on it. Al Gore most likely was another, and a few others.) When they did, the whole crowd began to wake up.

We were acting like that frog in the pot of water on the stove. You know the story. Throw the frog into the pot and increase the heat gradually and the frog won’t notice until it is too late. Well, we almost didn’t. We still might not have. This election and 2024 will tell the tale.

Did we get out of the hot water in time?

We’ll know when the votes are counted.

We absolutely MUST hold the House AND the Senate. If possible, we need to make GAINS in the number of seats held in both. That’s a tall order for a mid-term election.

In addition, we need to FLIP some state governor races and as many executive seats as possible, especially Secretary of State and Attorney General. Georgia is critical.

Then there are the state legislatures. We really need to make gains there to stave off these runs at abortion bans and other draconian laws.

We really, really have our work cut out for us. It’s not a joke when we say we need to vote like we are Ukrainians. We are going to have to fight the enemy within our country just a ferociously as they are fighting Russia. Let’s just hope to God this doesn’t turn to actual bloodshed.

Right now, it’s time to VOTE BLUE. Please take everybody you can find to the polls and get them to vote. We need every vote possible. It takes every drop of water to make a BLUE WAVE happen.
