our side has a lot of messages. You just have to hear them.

Two that are top most for me right now, Wendy Davis and Alison Grimes.

... Living wage

... Medicare for All, including dental, optical, hearing aids, mental health and nursing home

and so did my family. More people on our side of the aisle are just going to have to learn the value of midterm elections. They should start reading up on basic civics and our checks-and-balances system. The Democrats can go out there, campaign, and advocate all the correct policies, but it is ultimately the civic responsibility of everyone as Americans (and as people who have the power to shape the government) to become more engaged.

Got my card in 1972.

However, I rarely have to stand in line, rarely see more than 4 folks at any polling spot............WHERE ARE WE?

even though he denies saying that. I hope we make the turnout like it was in the McAuliffe race.
