Unless Kav had committed murder he was gonna get in. Now re-direct the energy and WIN IN NOVEMBER!

This is no "victory" for Trump and the R's. They had the votes, period. And they were gonna confirm.

NOTHING can be done about Kav at this point. It's wasted energy. And if it wasn't Kav, it would have been some other right winger just as bad only without so much drinking and groping in his past.

WIN THE ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER!! CAMPAIGN, DONATE, VOTE!! THAT IS WHERE EVERY OUNCE OF ENERGY MUST GO!!

I was out at 6am putting up campaign signs today, and I sent in two more small donations to D candidates. I plan to do more.

Take the anger to the voting booth, and bring a lot of family and friends who will vote the same way. For the DEMS!

We can't stop Kav. He is in. What can we accomplish on it now? Nada. So let's re-direct the energy to taking it out on them at the voting booth. In fact, if more Dems and Progressive Indies had god damned well VOTED in the last two cycles we wouldn't be eating this shit sandwich now. So the lesson is VOTE. We have a chance to kick the shit out of the R's all over the map at all levels next month. Let's please do that. Lamenting Kavanaugh accomplishes nothing. Take it out on them at the voting booth.

They see the long game we only see what is in front of our noses.

even if your pet issue isn’t on the platform.

It means voting for Dems even if your favorite candidate is not on the ballot.

It means voting for Dems in national and local races.

It means voting for Dems in every election in your voting life.

Barely 30% of us do that.

About 69% of them do.

on taking out your vengence at the voting booth. Help get Dems elected in November. This is the problem. If we had had control of the Senate this message wouldn't have happened in the first place. And we didn't because way too many Dems didn't even vote in the last two elections. So now we need to fix THAT. We need to keep eyes on the prize that we are able to win. That's the elections next month.

committed murder. I think he would still have gotten in. They would have found some reason as to why he did it. Something like it was a Democrat trying to kill him or some woman fighting him while trying to rape her.
