(22,976 posts)Remember the little rush you got when you finally got to actually-truly-for-real vote? For speaking up for what was right, regardless if the results were joyous or a disappointment?
Well, this coming midterm will top that, by light years. Its results will determine the fate of the United States. No biggie.

(7,508 posts)So as to avoid wasting our vote, ideally some of us should sacrificially vote with our feet and relocate to small red states to affect the Electoral College.

(18,124 posts)it would take to defeat the fascist forces? Political and military starting to lean hard right and rattling some sabres. With me, amateur military analyst that I see myself as, my inclination to look at 'hot' little engagements am watching now things Chinese in the south China sea region. With their new forward bases that are Chinese built islands opposite Vietnam vs U.S.military priorities in the Philippines region. ....drip, drip, drip
On the "Blue State Registration" and voluntary populace disbursement where Electoral College majority party vote is invoked in usually red states turned blue by a voluntary mass migration of centrist, lefties, progressives and liberals. I can go with that. Hope it works locally. I'm going to work the phones depending on my strength. Do some local political activism against the RW. We must show strength locally to make a difference. GOTV. The moderate Republican is still a Republican.
The difference will be that those unfavored by the republican wypipo leadership at this critical historical juncture between moderate Americans, both Parties vs fascist-racist dictatorship voters must be taken on moral, equal ground, by the moderate Republican. When he/she are analyzing different human beings, issues and law, hopefully, they vote fairly in spite of the fascist intimidation. That's my take and going to stick with it. Should we try to parse that into our strategy for winning in Nov. this year and 2020? COALITION anyone?
Or is it past that to tribal clannish racial survival in the superior race vs alleged inferior races issue at hand. Now that the racist fascist have been given the green light to hate openly by their potus, are we seeing an internal decline that will destroy this democracy? How strong is our will to work things out and survive as an intact nation of states?
