There’s no two ways about it — we’re at war. The very soul of our nation is at stake, and every day it seems as if it slips farther and farther away from us. Russians and white nationalists are in their heyday, our nation has never been more polarized, and we have a president who believes that the rule of law are just guidelines.
As fellow Kos contributor pdxbuckeye points out, Trump is exhausting the resistance, and the GOP is useless. Trump and his Republican allies are trying to win this war through a battle of attrition. With a constant barrage of distraction and headlines that are even more outrageous than the next, they are trying to wear us down and force us to just accept defeat.
But we can’t back down. Too much is at stake, and we can’t wait until 2018.
This year, Virginia gets the first large-scale electoral response to the Trump presidency, and everything we’ve seen in the last 117 days. We elect a new governor, lt. governor, attorney general, and all 100 House of Delegates. Those who want to do something don’t need to wait until the 2018 midterm elections; the groundwork we’re putting in place in Virginia now will be vital to electoral power in electing congressmen and congresswomen next year.
And if you thought for one second that our elections here didn't matter, ask yourself why the Koch Brothers are involved.
We have just 5 days left until the first deadline for voter registration of the year. Delegate Candidates such as myself and Elizabeth Guzman have been pushing hard to get as many folks onto the voter rolls and committed to voting as possible. The more folks we get registered and voting in the June 13th Primary, the bigger our overall voter pool will be in November and for the congressional races in 2018.
Registering folks to vote is one of the biggest ways we can begin fighting back against the Trump, Koch and Russian agenda, and it starts with you.
Trump and the national GOP are fine with selling us out to the Russians, while the VA GOP is fine with selling us out to the Koch Brothers. The only way we can stand up to hatred and corporate greed is by getting a many people into the process as possible.
People power is the strongest thing we have to take back our democracy.
