October Surprise?

 Considering the two candidates it is unlikely that the Presidential debates will have much impact on most voters.

I guess there is a possibility that one of them will do something so bad that it causes a change but considering that Trump routinely does things like that and Biden has years and years of experience its just not likely.

The polls which are generally fairly accurate, even in 2016, show a clear picture where the real issues are whether the Senate flips.

Clearly the Republicans are seeing the same tea leaves and not willing to wait on the Supreme Court nominee.  You can't blame them.

This is a chance to stack the 9 member court for decades.

What this will cause is far from certain but clearly it endangers a number of issues, such as Roe vs Wade, Obamacare and social justice.

Still we are left with the simple fact that elections matter and therefore voting matters.

I remember a time when many felt that there was no real difference between the parties, both sent young men off to fight.

Well that was true but there is a real difference now and if you favor progressive values the choice is clear.

Vote!
