snip:
When Donald Trump was elected, we cast our eyes variously up at the state and federal courts, at Congress, at lawyers, at the Women’s March, the Justice Department, Colin Kaepernick, the free press, Robert Mueller, the Parkland kids, Adam Schiff, the impeachment process, the street protests, the Senate Intelligence Committee report, the rule of law, Nancy Pelosi, the leaders of the military, Mary Trump, John Kelly, the tell-all memoir, and George Conway. Something would be the guardrail, the seawall, the savior. Something would be able to restore sanity. And yet, here we are, on the brink of another close election precisely because none of these checks have worked. Instead, we are realizing that the only entity that can possibly save us will be—if they can pull on their sneakers and pack a dinner—voters, voting by the millions, as they have never voted before.

All guardrails have failed. It is up to us to vote this this monster out. Nothing else has worked.
