Michigan DUers: Please be sure to turn out tomorrow and vote.

Bring as many with you as you can to the polling place. We should all be doing that for every election in every jurisdiction. We'll all be watching to see the results tomorrow night.

Same thing applies to DUers who live in Mississippi. The more who vote, the better the vote represents people's wishes.

And that means in every election, even if it's for local school board members. Those who don't vote have no say in anything, either during the election and afterward.

Don't vote? Don't tell me things turned out wrong. Thanks.

Or take them out of a drink.

Have an after voting party.

BYOV.

What ever takes.

Or maybe not. My schedule is controlled by a 12 month old foster child but I'll be sure to vote sometime during the day.

It takes better than a half hour for me to drive around that forest to get to my township hall to vote. All the roads around me are unpaved. Thankfully there are two that are paved, one of which takes me to the township hall via an extremely circuitous route. There are more direct routes, but they involve roads which do not survive winter as navigable with 20 year old Volvos. So I will opt for the paved roads even though I will have to spend a lot of time needlessly going around the beautiful forest here. Sadly, this is one time when sightseeing is not on the agenda.

I will be there for Bernie tomorrow.

And no matter which Democratic presidential candidate you prefer, make sure that you do the same.

Go Democrats! Go Bernie!

As always, thanks MM!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
