Do whatever we/you must to get rid of him. It has become even more urgent. And the same for the Senate. Leaving McConnell in charge is also a danger to our country. And, he must be overwhelmed by numbers or he will cry foul.

From what I have read they tend to be more progressive and have had their reasons for not participating. That's a huge force of potential right there and I hope more attention is paid to calling them in for the sake of this country and the preservation of democracy.

I implored him to, at the very least, go to the polls for the General Election and vote Trump out, though the rest matters, too, since we have some cleaning out to do.
So, that's a suggestion for anyone who knows a non-voter. Give them a heartfelt plea to participate. Let them know just how many people opt-out and why that could mean something dear could be lost for us all.

I am making it my priority to order their absentee ballots. I will also keep after my adult children to make certain they vote BLUE!
