We must never think this is over. Not until Joe Biden is declared president-elect and the Democrats have secured majorities in both the Senate and the House.
Yes, we need issues posts. Yes, we need expressions of outrage. But most of all, we need practical, grassroots efforts, and the information that will facilitate those efforts.
So, in aid of such efforts, as some of you have noticed, I have put together diaries that promote Get Out The Vote efforts in 10 swing states. I think these are pretty good resources. It would warm this old man’s heart if my beloved Kossack friends could share these as widely as possible. They are:
Let’s Win PENNSYLVANIA!
Let’s Win OHIO!
Let’s Win MICHIGAN!
Let’s Win WISCONSIN!
Let’s Win IOWA!
Let’s Win NORTH CAROLINA!
Let’s Win GEORGIA!
Let’s Win FLORIDA!
Let’s Win TEXAS!
Let’s Win ARIZONA!
