Don’t vote for people who don’t have any interest in helping Americans.
Don’t vote for people who think their job is to cut taxes for the wealthy and multi billion dollar companies.
Do your homework. Make sure you are not voting for a soulless asshole.
It’s pretty simple.
Do YOUR job as an American. Elect decent, compassionate, experienced, educated people.
We now see what happens when WE don’t. We get Trump, Cruz, Johnson and Jordan.
It’s really up to us. We are in charge, we have the power.
If we end up with a bunch of corrupt soulless monsters in office, they didn’t just beam themselves in...they were elected.
They are nothing more than a reflection of us, the American people.
Start doing your job, Americans.
We keep acting as this is something done TO us. That someone else can make go away.
“Why doesn’t someone do something?” Was asked a billion times a day over the past 4 years.
That someone is US.
The American people.
Looking at what Stacey Abrams accomplished in Georgia, should be a lesson for all Americans.
Stop being so damned passive.

I sort of get the cult of Reagan. Sort of. He was an actor, so he was pretty skilled at conveying a message.
His message was so strong, it blocked out the reality of his destructive policies...
So I can understand the smoke and mirrors that people could hide behind...
...but Donald Trump??
A two bit hustler, a fraud, known for decades for his cons and grifts, his failures, his bankruptcies, his scandals. Crude, vulgar, ignorant, uneducated.
This is who the Republicans are forming a cult behind??
Really?
I am not talking about the average Republican or right winger on the street, I am talking about the Republican PARTY, the “GOP”.
People like Senator Kennedy who went to OXFORD, elitists, lawyers, wealthy, educated, people like Josh Hawley...
Say what you may.
But as a progressive I am just goddamned grateful to be delivered out of gaping maws of white supremacy, the carving up of the environment to the highest bidder, children in cages, isolationism, and the WORST of the WORST, in charge.
There is a TREMENDOUS amount of work ahead, and if we try to ignore what was happened and think it all can be vanquished with one vote we will be doomed to repeat this horror.
Your eyes are open, you can no longer be “shocked” to discover who we really are.
What are you willing to do?
Are you done?
Will you now become a participant, a protector of democracy? Now that you know the truth?
I was just listening to A piece about all the JOYFUL celebrations that exploded yesterday, and had a thought...
Imagine that your removal from office being the source of all oF that joy?
Imagine that bells were going off in Paris, fireworks in London, and Americans dancing and singing in the streets, just because they were so glad to be rid of you,
What a terrible feeling that must be...
What an awful sentence, especially from someone who gets their life’s blood from adoration.
I really do hope he serves time, though I doubt he will, but I think his own mind is going to be a terrible kind of prison...
