This past week has been absolutely dreadful. The week before when Dr. Blasey Ford testified was not too spiffy either.

Senators Lisa Murkowki of Alaska and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota voted their conscience against the tempermentally, morally and ethically unsuited Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. Heitkamp might lose her seat in the Senate over this vote. Senator Susan Collins wrapped herself in her misguided patriotism and voted for this scoundrel.

This partisan hack is now a member of the Supreme Court. I hope RBG eats him alive.

So what is a Democrat to do?

STAY FOCUSED.

Work with your local democratic party to canvass voters, sign up to greet voters at the polls on November 6, talk to your neighbors about the importance of voting, stay informed about the Democratic candidates. I spent all weekend working with other Democrats to show our pride in our party by having the better float in our township parade. I also spend a couple hours canvassing Democrats, asking them to support our candidates and to vote on November 6.

STAY FOCUSED.

Vote the straight Democratic ticket. Push the button at the top so at one swoop you vote for all the Dems. Or vote for each candidate one by one. But under no circumstances split your ticket. All Republicans are governed by the party ultimately. They take their goose-stepping orders ultimately from the party leaders in Washington, DC. And that means the master manipulator McConnell. This man is a complete hypocrite. He said that every nominee to the Supreme Court should be given a hearing and a vote. He is suffering from self-inflicted amnesia about how he treated Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland.

STAY FOCUSED.

We need to play the long game as the other side has been doing for years.

We need to work together to take back our country and when we win — and we will win — we need to put our judges on the bench, pass laws that treat everyone fairly and protect our values of inclusion, respect, and justice.

STAY FOCUSED.

If the Republicans can play for blood, so can we. Their power is the last gasp of white fear and rage. Demographics is on our side. They know their days in power are numbered and that they will soon be extinct as a party.

We will vanquish them as long as we…

STAY FOCUSED.
