why should we care about the 2022 midterms?

We absolutely need to keep the house and senate in 2022. Absolutely must fight like its for the survival of Democracy. Imagine the damage that Kevin, traitor trump stooge, mccarthy and moscow mitch would do to voting rights and our institutions and lay out a steal for trump in 2024. Even if it's not trump, but another anti-democracy lying repug, same threat level.

At that point, good bye to American Democracy.

This is what happened in Obama's first term. The midterms were not fought hard from us, repugs won the house, gerrymandered everything and led to this continued rule without more votes.

Both are at work mobilizing Americans to make sure people are aware as to what is at stake in 2022.

The good crop of candidates and the message that republicans are AGAINST Democracy as we know it is on the ballot.

The January 6th insurrection was just a warmup.

The Repugnants have felt no need to pause. So, why should we?

All those people we convinced to vote in '18-20 have to return in '22 to hold both houses of Congress. If not, the Biden Presidency will be wasted.

midterms, and the racist GOP quickly pounced.

Dems must remain vigilant througout the next 4 years.
