To echo something Doug said the other day, I receive email from folks through the blog’s drop-down menu from time to time, but never more so than over the course of the last week. It’s a measure of the scope of this cataclysmic event we’re all experiencing together.
Some of my mail has resembled primal scream therapy, and I completely understand and add my wails to my correspondents’ howls. But others had ideas about constructive things we can do while we gear up for the Trumpocalypse. Below are a few good ideas.
Elect Foster Campbell in Louisiana
Valued commenter DeliciousGuac points out that there’s a runoff in Louisiana on December 10 to replace Diaper Dave Vitter in the US Senate. The Democrat in that race, Foster Campbell, is an underdog. But DG says turnout is likely to be low, and “with enough volunteers and money, he’s got a shot.”
The Republicans have a razor-thin margin in the Senate, so this seat is important. If you’re not tapped out, make it rain, people — send Foster Campbell to help the other Democrats hold off the Orcs as much as possible.
