Sitting here this evening, put my feelings to some cheap prose. Forgive my amateurish attempt, but pretty well states how I feel about November 8th.
Ask me no questions. I tell you no lies.
If they win this November, democracy dies.
You better get off the couch and go cast your vote
Or, for democracy… That’s all she wrote!
Across our great Nation candidates promote the Big Lie
If they win the majorities our right to vote will say “Bye bye”.
Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and many more states
To the election deniers they have opened floodgates.
To win they encourage violence against innocents.
To win they support insurrection defendants.
To win they intimidate with firearms and force.
To win they stomp on the Constitution, of course.
The Supreme Court is now biased… bought and paid for.
Women’s rights under Roe are gone forevermore.
Contraception and same sex marriage are next on the slate.
They want to control who you choose as your mate.
Too many will sit home, never walking out their door
To vote, thinking nothing will change till twenty-twenty-four.
By then the right to vote may no longer be there for me and you.
Democracy can be lost by the election of twenty-twenty-two!!
With all due respect, I’m using this time to motivate you.
Vote! And down the ballot vote totally BLUE!!!
If you don’t heed my warning you must accept part of the blame
When our children and grandchildren die trying democracy to reclaim.

So true. The Great Experiment called "America" will be doomed with enough GOP wins on Tuesday and further proof that the Dumbing Down of America is complete.

This is an example of what can happen when decent people shrug their shoulders and say things like, "It's just politics. Not much I can do about it."
