Elections have consequences.

And this next election is going to be very consequential.

People should weigh their vote very carefully. A vote for Republicans is rolling the dice. They are incapable of doing the job of oversight of the Executive Branch.

This is a most serious election.

Any vote for a Republican is an expression of support for Trump. Yeah, Elwood is running for dogcatcher again as a Republican and everybody likes ol' Elwood. But -- ask yourself this: if Elwood is such a great guy, why does he insist on associating with a party that openly endorses racism, facism, misogyny, and xenophopia?

Vote Democratic, even if the candidate is a potted plant.

They also have their own malicious agenda to mete out on an unsuspecting public, including the privatization and/or elimination of much of the social safety we've built over the past 80 years.
