The bottom line was — and is — that you goddamned well have to vote in these midterms, and vote for Democrats.
The thing is, that's easier said than done for a lot of us. Thankfully, Pro Publica, the nonprofit investigative-journalism outfit, has a guide to what you can do right now to ensure you're able to vote in those midterms.
Verify that your name is on the voting rolls.
If your schedule will keep you from voting in person, then ask to vote by mail.
This is boring, administrative drudgery. Get over that.
Some states place serious obstacles in the way of doing these things. Grit your teeth and surmount them.
As I observed in the earlier entry, a lot of innocent people have been jailed, brutalized or killed trying to bring democracy to their countries. These midterms are about salvaging democracy in this country.
So consult Pro Publica's guide and make sure you can vote. Now.
