I have a silent rage bubbling inside of me.

[boston bean]

It will not dissipate.

They have awoken a rage so white hot that will never be forgotten.

My only power is my vote and some donations. But my vote is supreme.

I know I am not the only more than pissed off female or male. They have unleashed a motivator of which they have no fucking idea will bring their demise.

We will get these fucking crazy as batshit, corrupt, treasonous bastards off our fucking backs.

Don’t think anyone else’s vote will undo their harm and defeat their lowly asses. We need every vote. Feel it burning. Let it fuel you to the polls. Crush these cretins!!!

[dalton99a]

1. Vote. And use Early Voting if you can:

[DemocracyMouse]

22. I hear you

Thursday, after the news that the FBI avoided interviews with key witnesses, I spent an hour making a sign that stretched across my car's bumper:

I'VE HAD ENOUGH
Vote Democrats Nov. 6

[Boxerfan]

2. My Wife

Wishes mine was silent....

Not good at keeping a lid on it.

[Desert grandma]

3. Well said, boston bean

We will defeat them because we are on the correct side of history. Eventually, the truth will reveal itself, and on that day, "Justice" Kavanaugh and his Republican supporters (IE Mitch McConnell and cronies) will experience what justice really looks like. I will vote Blue for every position on our ballot. I don't care if it's dogcatcher!!! And like many of you, I am financially supporting candidates that can flip seats from red to blue. We will do this!!!

[WhiteTara]

4. Now. Take as many people to early vote as you can.

Ask everyone. "Have you voted yet? Want to vote today? Let's go." If we can all take a few people more than ourselves, we will reach that 15 million necessary to have the votes count.

[True Blue American]

26. I did that when I paid my bill to the two young women

The youngest did not hear what I said, asked the older one said,” She told us to be Sure and vote!” I left 2 smiling women.

[Hortensis]

5. I was listening to clueless chortling on the radio. These people

think they have a great victory. They truly have no idea what they're doing to themselves and to the nation they will bequeath their own descendants.

Among almost everything else they don't know, apparently no one's told them a case that would make requiring coverage for existing conditions unconstitutional is on its way to Kavanaugh.

We're the ones.

[peggysue2]

6. Exactly, BB

Our Vote is Our Voice. Out Vote is Our Anger and Righteous Indignation, Disgust. Our Vote is Our Howl.

We harness the outrage and use it on November 6th? We'll drag the monsters from under the bed and push them into the sea. Where they all belong.

[Newland56]

7. Awesome!

I’m new to posting here but not new to this community.
I’ve been reading here for many years.
Now use that rage! Turn it to action!
All you defeatists can go fuck yourselves. Your a demoralizing faction. I don’t want you on my team and the mission is far too important to trust to the cowardly. Please step to the sideline and watch what the rest of us can accomplish.
To everyone else, to everyone who’s hope is hanging by a thread, to all that have tears in their eyes, to all that have a quivering voice! TAKE HEART! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Find your courage. Find your heart. In one month we have the opportunity to save our country and quite possibly the world. It’s time to do your duty.
We might go down BUT if we do you owe it to your children and grandchildren, your brothers and sisters, your grandparents and great grandparents both republican and Democrat that lived in a time when political discourse still maintained a degree of civility, you owe to them....if we go down, we all go down STANDING UP! If we remain standing we can’t lose.
This may be our last opportunity to nonviolently preserve our union and our planet.
DO YOUR DUTY
We can prevail
Drive people to the polls
If your informed ask for a ride
Walk your neighborhood
If there is no political sign inthe yard go talk to them
If there is a repub sign, fuck them, today they are the enemy to free people if the world
If there is a dem sign stop by and thank them.
This is not the time for any post that is critical of Hillary or Bernie
We can fight amongst ourselves later, but today put it to bed
It might sound dramatic but I believe this to be real and deadly serious. Real people in the real world are going to die if you don’t do this.
If you ever want to look your children in the face again you must do this. If you don’t want to surrender your sons to rape culture you must do this.if you don’t want to surrender your daughters to abuse you must do this.
Again, this might be the last chance to do it non violently.
There are things that are worse than war and the direction our country is going is one of them. This is the opportunity to fix it at the ballot box.
It must be overwhelming and undeniable.
We, together, must leave no doubt as to how the population of this country wishes to be governed

[dalton99a]

8. +1

[pazzyanne]

15. K & R and a thank you.

[Ligyron]

20. Great post!

Glad you are now actively participating here at DU.

Thanks!

[True Blue American]

27. Amen! And keep posting,we need you!

Welcome

[calimary]

44. Welcome to DU, Newland56!

Yep. Absolutely right. It's ALL HANDS ON DECK. We HAVE TO learn to do what the CONS have done successfully. They UNITE, dammit!

You're right about something else, too. Something very disturbing. REAL PEOPLE in the REAL WORLD ARE going to die if you don't get involved, and if, heaven forbid you don't vote.

Women will die seeking back alley abortions. Because the need for terminating pregnancy won't go away just because access to abortion dries up.

Newborns will die, their little bodies sometime with the umbilical cord still attached, will be found in dumpsters.

People who suddenly find their access to affordable health care will die.

People living with an armed hot-head who has no business owning guns will die.

People just trying to have a nice evening out, or at a concert, or at a movie, or at a pizza joint, or in school, will die when some hot-head with an axe to grind or a chip on his shoulder (vast majority male in this case) lets loose with the massacre machines he has NO BUSINESS owning.

People trying to immigrate here, seeking a better life in America will die. For lack of care, for lack of options.

And it goes on from there.

[saidsimplesimon]

9. "Crush these cretins" Yes we can.

[iluvtennis]

10. Well said...we have our vote, getting others to vote, and our donations to fight this hot mess. nt

[SunSeeker]

11. My rage is not silent. And will walk through fire to vote in November!

[Newland56]

12. YES!

Sunseeker
Thank you!
I just told my 8 year old son and 4 year old daughter about your commitment.
They are very appreciative but they wanted me to tell you that’s not enough.
They wanted me to ask you to crawl through that fire if you must. They also asked if you could be sure to have 4 or 5 people with you on the way to the polls.
They have a high bar as they would like to have a country to grow up and raise families in.
I told them that was a little much to ask but they are rather insistent. They need you to bring at least 2 as they are two young to vote and they want to be heard. Thanks in advance. You might literally be saving their lives.

[SunSeeker]

16. Done! And I have been knocking on doors for Harley Rouda, Rohrabacher's opponent.

We need to flip Congress, and that traitorous Dana Rohrabacher must be kicked out of office.

[Newland56]

17. Deal

That’s a deal
You make my children’s voice heard in CA and as long as I have breath your voice will be heard in NC.
We are together. We cannot be denied. We cannot be defeated. We will prevail.
Now how bout the rest of you? Which of you is going to speak for us and us for you across this country from Maine to Arizona. From FL to WA?
We are together people! Please speak for my family with your vote wherever you live.
I promise to do the same.

[ancianita]

13. Your rage is constructively acted on. ALL our rage needs to direct itself to voting in ALL elections

[DinahMoeHum]

14. Pardon my Latin, but "G.O.PUS DELENDUS EST"

THE G.O.P. MUST. BE. DESTROYED.

[lastlib]

25. Right ON!!

In my early career, I wanted to be a high-falutin' (and fabulously wealthy) investment guru. Now, I want to go into demolition work. I want to be the guy who pushes the plunger to demolish Republikkan national headquarters (with the last two living repuglikkkans inside). I want to obliterate the dim consciousness of repuglikkkans. I want to DESTROY everything on earth that says "G.O.P.", so that this fascistic pile of excrement is never to emerge again as a political entity.

May their living be short, and their dying be long; may the pain of Hell afflict them, and the forgiveness of Heaven elude them; and may Satan piss in their champagne.

[calimary]

18. VOTE, DAMMIT!

My apologies for yelling, but at this point, with the Supreme Court’s integrity and independence evaporating today, thus closing the third and final branch of the federal government now becoming corrupted, VOTING is the only recourse we have left.

And at the rate this calamity is metastasizing, we all better vote while we still can - before they take that right away from us, too.

[recovering_democrat]

19. Today.

Florida I can vote by mail in ballot. It arrived in yesterday's mail. I voted today. Just is case for some reason I dont make it til tomorrow I have done my part. Next???

[Newland56]

24. 1 down 100 million more to go

Thanks for your vote.
We are energized and for each one of us that are energized there are 5 more that just need a little nudge.
Let’s give them a push!
If you know someone in the hospital help them fill out their mail in ballot.
If you know someone that is housebound help them mail it in.
Vote by mail is important. We need to keep the polls as uncrowded as possible for our urban areas that don’t have enough voting machines to support the number of voters we want at the polls.
We need to combat all the dirty tricks used to disenfranchise us

[llmart]

43. I vote absentee and will mail my ballot tomorrow.

I took one last look at my filled out ballot and what is so tremendously encouraging to me is to see that more than half of the people running were women! Never in my voting history (I'm only a few months from 70 years old) have I experienced this.

Needless to say, I gleefully filled in the circles and most of them were for women - all Dems of course and there were about 4 male Dems that I also voted for.

This is how we change our country.

[ginnyinWI]

21. I am with ya.

I feel personally insulted and disrespected. We've been suffering under this since the 2016 election. We know we are the majority but power has been in the hands of the other side.

I want that power back and I want to keep it. The only silver lining is that this has gotten horrible enough to wake up the complacent non voters out there. The ones who were thinking, "they are all the same!" just because they watched a few negative ads and got turned off. I don't and won't watch any ads because I know what they are.

I'm going to watch the vote today. I want to be a witness to it because I believe it will be a turning point. Will the media continue to cover what they are doing to this country with a fervor equal to the last week or so? The facts need to be apparent to everyone. With the WH, the Congress and the SC all firmly in the hands of the right, all that is left is the Fourth Estate. At least until early next year!

[lindysalsagal]

23. I just volunteered at Planned Parenthood. I will help women enter the building.

I need to DO something.

[kag]

33. Thank you, lindysalsagal!

I've been wanting to do that. I might just have the energy and incentive now.

My rage is not-so-silent. I screamed back at my radio in the car today for half an hour. When it got to be too maddening I would slam the button to turn it off. I'm surprised I didn't punch a hole right through it.

Volunteering at PP, helping women who have no business being harassed (some of whom may be there because they've been raped by the likes of our newest Supreme Court justice), might be a good way for me to work off some of this steam.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

28. I hate them! Result of vote just came out.

I fucking hate them.

[Gothmog]

29. I have a great deal of anger also

GOTV

[TruckFump]

30. I am enraged as well.

I am a child of the 1960s and for many decades I was pleased with the progress for women and minorities which was being made. Not done, but steps in the right direction.

Now? Fuck these old, white, male, conservative pieces of shit. I'll be damned if those assholes are going to take America away from me. All 4 of my grandparents in the 1920s made their way to the United States for a better life -- not for the kind of shit that Trump, Kavanaugh and the rest of those elitist pigs are hurling at us.

Fuck 'em all!!!!!!

[Ferrets are Cool]

31. I feel your rage and share it.

It is hard to hide.

[zentrum]

32. Rage and loathing.

[mudstump]

34. I'm going to take my anger out on....

my ballot in November and every single election there after.

[mudstump]

35. When they come for abortion rights......

we better damn well be in the streets....all of us.

[Cha]

36. Thank You, Bean!

[Le Gaucher]

37. There its nothing worse than impotent rage. So bide your time - because our time will come

Demographics are on our side. Republicans will soon be well and truly fucked. We will destroy those bastards.

[Silver Gaia]

38. Standing with you, fist raised. VOTE!

My daughter and my husband stand with me.

[ananda]

39. Putting my ballot in the mail today!

At least it's on paper!

[workinclasszero]

40. My wife voted two days ago

Due to her being out of town at the midterms.

All democratic and yes on progressive ballot initiatives.

My rage at the GOP traitors and sex perverts will have to wait till election day but I was proud of my wife starting the blue wave that is the only hope of saving this country from Trump/republican fascism!

[lpbk2713]

41. I've had the same feeling since Al Gore and the Florida sElection.

I'm with you on this. They have been focused and have been using any means possible to gain an advantage. Today they feel so certain they are on the right course they no longer see the need to be discreet. They will lie about even the most trivial matters. Even when they know it's easy to prove them wrong. As long as they can convince people to vote against their own interests they will be among us.

[The Liberal Lion]

42. You have more power than the power of the ballot

but for now it will do. However, I would advise, be led not to the polls by way of rage and anger, but rather by way of love of justice and egalitarianism.

[Gothmog]
