Yep. Absolutely right. It's ALL HANDS ON DECK. We HAVE TO learn to do what the CONS have done successfully. They UNITE, dammit!

You're right about something else, too. Something very disturbing. REAL PEOPLE in the REAL WORLD ARE going to die if you don't get involved, and if, heaven forbid you don't vote.

Women will die seeking back alley abortions. Because the need for terminating pregnancy won't go away just because access to abortion dries up.

Newborns will die, their little bodies sometime with the umbilical cord still attached, will be found in dumpsters.

People who suddenly find their access to affordable health care will die.

People living with an armed hot-head who has no business owning guns will die.

People just trying to have a nice evening out, or at a concert, or at a movie, or at a pizza joint, or in school, will die when some hot-head with an axe to grind or a chip on his shoulder (vast majority male in this case) lets loose with the massacre machines he has NO BUSINESS owning.

People trying to immigrate here, seeking a better life in America will die. For lack of care, for lack of options.

And it goes on from there.
