The final countdown people!
November 3, 2020.
If you’re fired up today, shout to the rooftops!
I voted early in the state of Ohio and I feel somewhat confident that my vote mattered. I am not going to be watching a lot of television today because I feel that if I start watching results, it will get my blood pressure up.
However, I hope we turned out in droves to defeat President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. I hope the Democratic Party and the American voter casted aside the noise and distractions of the far-right and leftists who demonized us with propaganda and disinformation.
I hope that every Black woman, older Black American, college educated American, suburban woman, former Republican, disgruntled Republican, independent, mainstream progressive, every moderate, Hispanic, Asian-American, Native American and those affected by Trump’s reckless actions turnout and vote.
You notice I said Black woman. I deliberately left out Black man. Trump can claim at least some achievement. He got at least 11% to 15% of the Black male vote. Obviously the misogyny, greed, homophobia, xenophobia and “self-proclaimed” Black nationalist vote matters to Trump.
The Ice Cube, Lil Wayne, Lil Pump, Tariq Nasheed (formerly K-Flex), Terrence K. Williams, 50 Cent and Herschel Walker votes matter, right?
For all the young voters who lost out their graduation in 2020 from high school, I am so sorry.
The opportunity to graduate with your friends was squandered by the actions of this president and his handling of the coronavirus. You missed out your proms, your class trips, your amazing yearbooks and you final goodbyes to the teachers and principals who blessed you on your path to greatness. Those memories are lost, but fear not, it’s your opportunity to do good by voting.
I know some of you young voters are dismayed that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) lost the primaries. Yeah, I get that. I see Joe Biden wasn’t your first or even second choice. Yeah, I understand. But I believe that if we do get this opportunity to make things right by voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we’re one step closer to achieving the goals Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and many other progressives hope we achieve in the future.
I see that Amy Coney Barrett is on the Supreme Court now. Yeah, I am still pissed that the Republicans denied Barack Obama his third pick for the Supreme Court. Trump goes against the wishes of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The Senate has done little accomplishments to help the American people. The HEROES Act, The George Floyd Police and Community Action Act, and The John Lewis Voting Rights Act will die with this session. The Republicans return home to watch the results and hope they cling on to power. A generation of progress is squandered by an ugly, purple handed old cracker who’s first name is Addison.
If we can win back the U.S. Senate, we can put an end to the gridlock that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) imposed on our nation for the last decade. He, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith (R-MS), Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), Sen. David Perdue (R-GA), Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT), Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) have an opportunity to lose their seats.
Voting for Jaime Harrison, Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), Al Gross, Sara Gideon, Cal Cunningham, Raphael Warnock, Jon Osoff, Mike Espy, MJ Hager, John Hickenlooper, Steve Bullock and Theresa Greenfeld could change the demographics and add more reasonable lawmakers to the fold.
The Senate failed to pass relief for millions of Americans who are losing their homes, their businesses and their lives. They have no concern for the middle class. They passed stupid draconian laws that could impact the lives of millions. They packed the courts with white nationalists who believe that the key to winning is to make decisions through arcane decisions of the previous centuries.
They want to strip millions of Americans from having health care coverage during a pandemic.
They have promised they’ll pass health legislation if they repeal the Affordable Care Act. Still over 10 years later, there’s no bill or proposal that matched Obamacare.
Let's win this. |
These lawmakers shouldn’t be rewarded with more years of the same tired politics.
The way we cover candidates should also change. With Fox News, Breitbart, RT, Newsmax, the New York Post, talk radio and internet trolls running from coast to coast spewing out false and misleading information about the Democrats, it should be time to label news content.
Media personalities like that annoying Sean “Softball” Hannity should be given a rating of “opinion” and ‘doesn’t reflect the network” whenever he’s on. The TV ratings should be given to certain programs like Tucker Carlson or Laura Ingraham. We can say that “Warning the content may be considered upsetting to some audiences, viewer discretion is advised” when they come on.
Hypothetically, I hope the Democrats sweep the election. We must first restore our trust with democracy. Trump has already said that the results are not fair and he will pursue legal matters if he’s not declared the winner.
I do have some cautious concern about the results. Could the pollsters be wrong and Trump does win reelection?
What happens next?
Again, it’s going to be a long night for you. I hope that we’re going to give you the inspiration regardless of whoever wins this election.
Do not trust the polls!
We must vote like our lives depend on it!
