To each their own, but one thing is a near certainty.

[Stinky The Clown]

If we do not take back one house of the congress, our very democracy could well be so injured as to be nearly gone.

I don't want to live in a country like Turkey under Recep Erdoğan or Russia under Vladimir Putin. But those are EXACTLY the models for how OGB (Orange Gas Bag) wants to shape the USA.

How you help is really up to you . . . . up to your ability to help actively or with some level of moral or financial support, or any combination of the above. Not all of us can do this or that. But we can ALL do SOMETHING.

Now is the time.

1. It sure is the time to do something

I don’t know how much worse it needs to get to induce people to do something about it.

Maybe they’ll get if when they’re being carted off to “the camps”.

[OliverQ]

2. At what point is this country bad enough that we can claim political asylum in another country?

I belong to 2 minority groups and I'm very scared to continue living in this country.

9. Let's organize a DU kneel-in.

I’m a white person. I will go to any sporting event and kneel alongside other members of DU. How many DU members can we get??

[DemocracyMouse]

12. I second the motion!!!

[spicysista]

3. Yes we can!

There's much to do. "But we can ALL do SOMETHING".......exactly.

4. If we don't take Congress we will be royally screwed.

Five thirty eight had an article about what could happen if such an outcome really occurs.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

5. I agree. But try hard to do something out of your comfort zone

bc we can't wait for Nov. RESPECTFULLY.
You 'one note charlies' better understand we are in bizarre times. computer commenting isn't enough imho. If you don't want to live like Turkey, don't wait too long to feel the gravity.

[Mountain Mule]

7. We MUST taken back Congress in the midterms!

We simply must. This old mule will do (and has been doing) all that she can. Together we shall win.

[grantcart]

8. I have two staunch Republican friends who both told me

If the Democrats don't take back the House the Republic as we know it is finished

[BobTheSubgenius]

10. In times past, one could label these words as hysteria...or hyperbole.

Not now. Not in the times being foisted upon us.

[bdtrppr6]

11. if the dems don't take over,

I'll be looking to move my family elsewhere. we'll be completely doomed as a free society(as free as it actually is anyhow). i won't be able to deal with the fact that no one will get off their ass to simply vote and pay attention and that MAGAts/GOP have complete control.

[DemocracyMouse]

14. We have become decadent like Rome, beginning with the public's lack of effort to stay inforned.

[sharedvalues]

15. It's not going to be better elsewhere

If the US slides into autocracy, it’s going to have effects everywhere.


You’re not going to be able to run and hide.

Stand and fight here.
