Voting is the one power citizens have to protect themselves from an abusive government. Voting for something is also voting against something else. Citizens who don't vote are like soldiers who desert and hand the other side an easy victory. THURSDAY AUG 6, SHOW UP AND VOTE.

Maybe because some idiot put him in the wrong file. 🤷♀️

Democrats will lower your healthcare costs and protect your Social Security. Republicans will grift for the billionaire donor class. #BlueWaveIn90Days
