15. So sad...
Tue Oct 20, 2020, 12:38 PM
Oct 2020

To read stories like this and know that there are hundreds of thousands more like them. Everything about these stories is heartbreaking, the lives lost who because of the protocols spent their last few days, hours alone, the loved ones left to pick up the pieces and try to find a way to move forward and knowing that it did not have to be this way.

All because one man put himself before everyone else and lied, because the GOP decided they were more important then the citizens of the country they represent and gave that man cover, made excuses, looked the other way so they could manipulate the Justice system to keep them in power and implement their ideologies a Pandemic was allowed to spread unabated...and still is.

We must not only vote DT out we must also hold the entire GOP accountable for this as well. DT could not have done this on his own. They must be voted out.

And...

If we are lucky thru turnout that is history making we manage to hold the House, win back the Senate (at the very least) and the WH in light of all the suppression and challenges to our voting that the GOP is doing we must ensure that Justice is allowed to do its job. We cannot be told that “We need to look forward not backwards”...not this time.
