2018! 2018! 2018!

November, to be precise, and the primaries before then. If we're not paying close attention to 2018 and what we need to do, we're going to fail to regain control of even one House of Congress.

Please, let's pay attention to what is drawing nearer every day. 2020 will be the next thing, but it is not today's thing.

Let's please focus on the present goal.

Thanks!

getting ready for it right now. There's so much to do, and so little time to do it. Everyone needs to focus tightly on House, Senate and state legislative elections in their own areas and start looking for ways to help get out the vote in a big way. Mueller's got the Trump thing. We can't do anything about that. 2020 is a long way off. We can worry about that next year.

2018!

I started saving money last year specifically for Nov 2018 elections.

This is your time young people. Older people may have f-ed up (as they have for many years) and put us in this position, but they alone can't save us.

We all need to be united against the traitors and racists.

Because it's damn near impossible to talk about it amid all the other things in GD these days.

Don't wait for that forum to get put up. There's no time. If you notice, my thread is getting discussed. Yours can too.

They say "VOTE NOV. 6 #BLUEWAVE" on them. I keep them in my car. I stick them everywhere I can, sides of gas pumps, high traffic areas, etc. Gotta get the word out.

Thanks! People can work independently to GOTV or they can work with the local party organization. Either way, if it helps to bring Democrats to the polls, it's all good!
