I don't care how left, center, or right a candidate is...... [View all]

....in *THIS* election year, I am voting for the person on the ballot with a (D) next to their name.

This is the *REAL* "Flight 93 election".... The Democrats MUST take over at least the House. It is a MUST, for the survival of our Republic.

It is all about the numbers 218 and 51. Whatever gets us to 218 (D)s in the House and/or 51 (D)s in the Senate is *ALL* that matters.

We need the subpoena power that comes from being in the majority. America needs it. It is the only thing that can make Trump's life a living hell and lead to his resignation.
