Readers Write: This year party, protection transcend candidate, vote Dem

The Island Now

 Susan Collins’ vote for Judge Kavanaugh was the last straw. There will be no reaching across the aisle, no compassion, no inclusion, tolerance, fairness, equality, protecting the planet and our children, grandchildren. 

Here is Thomas L. Friedman from the New York Times of October 24, 2018:

“So, this year: No third party, no Green Party, no throwing up our hands and saying, “They’re all bad.” For today, in these midterm elections, vote for a Democrat, canvass for a Democrat, raise money for a Democrat, drive someone else to a voting station to vote for a Democrat. It’s the only hope to make America America again. Nothing else matters. Pass it on.”

That’s exactly what I am doing and intend to do many more times before Election day. No more ‘objective’ listening to those who opine that ‘Hillary is/was a bad candidate’.

No more nodding in tacit acknowledgment that ‘Obama was too prone to compromise so he failed to get things done.’

No, no, no; those things may or may not be true, but nothing is as bad as the immorality, venality, viciousness, divisiveness, the abasement of power, people and truth over the last two years from the current President of the United States.

Saving the Planet for our children and grandchildren will come down to powerful State governors aligned with the courts to push back against the corrupt, money-influenced decisions by this President.

Thus, Cuomo, Suozzi, Kaplan, Gillibrand, and every candidate on the Democrat side must receive your/our vote.
