We can't let the GOP demoralize us: GO VOTE and GET YOUR FRIENDS TO VOTE!

I know the news looks bad, but the GOP does NOT have the Senate locked up. Elections are based on who votes, not on how the population polls, necessarily. The best thing we can do is get ourselves and our like-minded friends to vote. Offer to drive people to the polls! Get involved with your local Democratic GOTV! Talk to your family and friends about how crucial this election is.

WE HAVE NOT LOST YET...AND WE CAN STILL PULL A WIN.

3. When do I get demoralized?

1) Coming to DU and reading a bunch of silly ass nonsense ...

2) Reading communications from my chosen political party ... what utter CRAP they have been sending out ... so inspiring!

I gave up watching national news in 2000, so I don't have to include that shit ...

Being demoralized by the ridiculous antics of humanity seems ... counter productive ... always sadness somewhere

But I still recognize that voting is all we really have.

I live in Oregon, where we vote by mail (or we can drop it in boxes provided in libraries and other places). I received my ballot last week, and dropped it off at my library on Saturday.

It's really great to have vote by mail. We have it in CA and I always vote that way.

and the other democrats, the non liberal, non progressives ones, the embarrassed republicans that were too cowardly to stay in the GOP so instead they come to the Democratic Party and well they general just fuck everything up, just like republicans.

That is what demoralizes me
