A daily series, Connect! Unite! Act! seeks to create face-to-face networks in each congressional district. Groups regularly socialize but also get out the vote, support candidates and engage in other local political actions that help our progressive movement grow and exert influence on the powers-that-be. Visit us at Daily Kos every morning at 7:30 A.M. Pacific Time to see how you can get involved. The comment thread is fun and light-hearted, but we're serious about moving the progressive political agenda forward.

Welcome to WHAT IF Wednesday!
WHAT IF... you woke up with a SuperPower?
Would you use it for Good or would you hide it out of fear?
Kal El hid his identity after he grew up, mainly because he wanted to retain something of a normal life, the one he had lived as Clark Kent while growing up with Martha and Jonathan Kent.
But that wouldn't apply to you, in the real world. What might apply to you, however, is maintaining your privacy to stave off some nefarious defense department wanting to study and duplicate your suddenly acquired SuperPower.
The end result of which couldn't be good for you or your family. After all, wouldn't they believe it likely that others with your genetic background either would or could develop the same thing? What if you had kids. Young kids. Wouldn't you want to protect them by hiding in plain sight?
I don't have much more tonight, I put off writing it too long and now I'm anxiously watching the election returns for my County. The three top races are so close it's terrible. Two of the Democrats are behind by a couple hundred votes out of over 250,000 eligible voters. If just a couple thousand of my fellow Democrats had bothered to return their MAIL-IN ballot tomorrow would look different for my county.
It's happening tonight in VA and KY, too. Republicans vote. Every election. Without fail.
What are the Democratic Party candidates doing wrong?
They have better policies, better ideas. For the most part they aren't batshit crazy, which a lot of their opponents in the GOP are.
Thoughts? On the SuperPower and secret identities OR on what's wrong with Democratic candidate - or maybe just Democratic voters ...
as always...
