THE 2018 MIDTERM ELECTIONS: WHAT IS AT STAKE?
So, in the end, we must ask the following Question: What kind of Individuals and Groups have supported
DONALD TRUMP NOW, AND IN THE PAST?
As we have seen, Donald Trump has no trouble speaking his mind, especially if it means disparaging an entire segment of society, be it GENDER, ETHNICITY, RELIGIOUS FAITH, SOCIAL AND/OR ECONOMIC STANDING etc. The Ability to use his notoriety to Hurl False and Baseless Accusations against Millions of Americans, along with Dire Threats if things don't go his way, would seem to be the ANTITHESIS OF HOW SOMEONE SHOULD GO ABOUT RUNNING A COUNTRY AS DIVERSE AS THE U.S.
Yet, there are those who follow his Vitriolic Ramblings, and never question the Truth or Accuracy of the Statements or Assertions he makes. Could it be the Type of Individual who sees the Writing on the Wall, with a set of beliefs and attitudes that no longer wields the Political Influence they once did?
Beliefs and Attitudes such as;
- Religious Intolerance.
- Patriarchal Rule.
- Racial and Ethnic Divisions
enforced by law.
- Homophobic Delusions.
- Economic and Social Privilege.
Among others...
In other words, the last desperate attempt to prevent Progressive Ideals from becoming the Norm in every facet of American Life. Concepts such as Justice. Equality, Freedoms, and Rights becoming Universally applied to all, not just those who consider themselves Superior by some Convoluted and Irrational View of how Society should be formed and governed.
Donald Trump is the Poster Boy for the Self-Centered and Narcissistic. Can we expect any less from his must devoted supporters?
We're ready to flip this state. Jennifer Boysko, Chair of Run Everywhere.
David,
Did you see the news? Though he is a Republican, former Virginia Sen. John Warner is supporting several Democrats for Congress. These include Abigail Spanberger in Virginia’s 7th District, Leslie Cockburn in the “leaning Republican” 5th District, and Sen. Tim Kaine.
We need to vote all Democrats into office, like Jennifer Wexton in the 10th District, whose opponent Barbara Comstock has consistently voted with Trump.
Warner notes that, “It goes beyond politics now… you’ve got to put the nation’s interests and the state’s interests ahead of politics.”
He’s correct. These elections are too important to both not vote or vote Republican. Republicans are simply supporting Trump’s divisive, destructive, and dangerous policies. We have to make sure they don't get elected. The only way to do that is to GOTV.
Please make sure you are ready to vote in THREE DAYS. Bring your ID to the appropriate location before 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6th. Here’s where you can check your polling location.
We can make a difference together.
Let’s get out and vote!
We're ready to flip this state.
