Let’s flip the Senate. Register. Donate. Vote.

I know people are being shown right now that voting does not fix everything, so some people might be feeling despair and wondering why we even bother to vote. Often the Democrats we vote in are still imperfect. But that does not make voting less important. We must still vote, and then we must HOLD THOSE DEMOCRATS ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS. Both political actions are important!! An crappy Democrat in office leaves much to be desired but is still miles better than a Republican, so we must ensure that Republicans do not win. 

do you have ANY idea what kind of good could be done if democrats had control of the presidency, the house, AND the senate?

For those who don’t remember, the Democrats once held the U.S. Presidency, the House and the Senate, during the 111th Congress from 2009 - 2011. For all its accomplishments, America despises sweeping change and punished the 111th accordingly in the midterms. (Change that could have helped us weather a pandemic, btw.) Could it be different this time? Who knows. For all our sakes’, I hope it is.

The legacy of the 111th Congress

The session is likely to be defined by the wild fluctuations between action and inaction.
