Nine days to midterm elections on Nov. 6, what do we see? What will our reality be as of Nov. 7?
One thing's for sure: Donald Trump and his cancerous Republican administration will still be standing, with another two years to regroup and recover from any serious body blows sustained in the midterms. Even if Democrats win many seats Nov. 6, the power status in Washington will remain essentially quo until the general election in 2020--unless there is massive resistance well before then.
But the Democratic Party and other opposition parties are woefully underfunded, aren't working together on key issues, and aren't organizing their respective communities well. The darkness of recent past week alone should embolden political consciousness and action. We simply cannot let darkness win.
