November 2022: Midterms. GET THE DAMN VOTE OUT, DEMOCRATS

This is it, Florida. This is it, United States of America.

Election Day is November 8th. One week away.

Some states will have Early Voting going on until this Friday or Saturday. You can still go in early if you're worried about long lines at the precincts next Tuesday November 8th.

Early Voting turnout is reaching 2018 levels, which set a record or two for midterm cycles results. That congressional cycle favored Democrats, in spite of Republican efforts to restrict turnout.

In the face of those Far Right efforts to curtail, suppress, restrict voters from showing up this midterms, massive voter turnout is still the best way to defeat those violations of our civil right - our obligation - to vote for our government.

We need to vote, people.

And we need to vote Democratic.

We need to vote for the party (Dems) that won't take away women's rights to their health care and to control their own bodies the way Republicans are. We need to vote for the party (Dems) that won't nuke Medicare and Social Security the way the Republicans plan. We need to vote for the party (Dems) that won't steal from the poor by raiding food stamps and other poverty-fighting programs the way the Republicans have across Red States for decades.

We need to hold Republicans here in Florida accountable for their failures to fix the broken property insurance system. We need to hold DeSantis accountable for his expensive and illegal stunts of kidnapping legal migrants for political photo ops. We need to kick out Marco Rubio from a Senate job he barely ever shows up for, to which he contributes little while posing and preening on television. I mean, Grassley and Feinstein show up to serve their constituents, and they're senile and way past retirement age.

We need another Blue Wave, Florida: One that washes away the corruption and violence and gaslighting of the Far Right.

We need every pro-choice, pro-infrastructure, pro-wages, pro-environment, pro-housing, pro-justice voter to show up and support every Democratic candidate on the ballot.

Get the damn vote out, everybody.

The state of Florida, the whole bloody nation needs your voice and your commitment to each other.

I will see you at the ballot box on Tuesday (I'm a traditionalist, plus I work late so I can vote early in the morning).
