I love Robert Reich's informative videos.
He does an excellent job of explaining complex situations in a manner which makes them much easier to understand.
Bottom line is that we ALL need to make sure and get to the polls in November.
I know this election does not seem as important as some in the recent past, but if 2010 teaches us anything it is that EVERY election is important.
Reich is great, I always love his stuff. But the single most important reason to "Save the Senate" is for Supreme Court confirmations.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree.
DeleteAs we've seen all too often, SCOTUS justices can affect our country in the most important and basic ways for decades, long after the President who nominated them are out of office.
DeleteHistorically, the Democrats sit-out the off-year election.
ReplyDeleteWhich, in this case, would be disastrous for the middle-class.
We'll see what happens...
but I sure hope the Dems turn out to vote this time.
GO VOTE.
This election is THE most important of our lives. We need to listen to MR Reich and do what we can to vote and GOTV. Randall @3:45 is so right. Sometimes Democrats are our own worst enemies and sit out the off year elections. We can't let that happen this time. Too much is at stake.
ReplyDeleteI think everybody needs to be reminded of the results of the last midterm elections.Republicant narrative that Obama has done nothing convinced many to stay home.Right wing obstructionist took over the house during a census year in which they redraw district lines.Every election is important.Do not let them con you into not voting.Do not let them deny your right to vote.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing this. I really admire Reich. And I highly recommend his documentary "Inequality for All." I've seen more than once, and I always learn something new. Reich explains how we've reached our current economic state and how we can also get back on the right path. He does this in a very smart, audience-friendly and humorous way. "Inequality for All" is a must-see!
