19. The Republicans are planning in the open to steal the 2022 Midterm elections...

They've announced they are sending an "Army" of poll watchers to challenge poll workers and votes.
They are narrowing the windows for early voting.
There are restrictive laws in multiple states roadblocking and setting up obstacles primarily for minorities to be able to turn out and vote.
They are making it possible for state legislatures controlled by them to determine the outcome of elections, rather than vote totals.

When is the Democratic party going to wake up?

If young people, old people, white people, black people, brown people, asian people, every registered Democratic voter doesn't get past their petty issues, and make sure they vote for their party's candidate in November, it may be the last time they get to vote.

Who's going to light the fire and get out the vote?
