(375 posts)20. It is possible that the republicans will not do their job
It will be a nasty blow to democracy or the end of it.
What it means is that we come to grips to what the republicans have become.
Don't get wrapped up in what they did.
But get wrapped up in a massive voter turn out.
Support local progressive candidates.
Get out and vote.
Take our local governments back.
It's not what they did, it's what we will do, that matters.
Forget the convincing the nutcases they need to change.
We do not have time for that.
Inspire those who will listen.
We gotta vote, we have a platform.
Let's push it.
Our democracy can't be dependent solely on Mueller or the outcome of his investigation.
