Will the people turn out?

There is a worry among Democrat and Progressive Circles that groups in their constituency like Hispanics and Millenials will not turn out in the numbers necessary to run a "blow out" blue wave this November.

The people will probably turn out to vote although one would have to wonder if they did not, the question would be what did they not understand about the reactionary and white nativist proclamations and policies of the KKK endorsed candidate and popular vote loser's administration?

If the groups in the Democratic coalition do not turn out in the numbers they should, they can fault no one but themselves for whatever Republican policies result from their inaction.

Remember 2016 and the people that threw their votes to Jill Stein or stayed at home because Hillary Clinton was not Barrack Obama or Bernie Sanders or they thought she would win anyway. Democrats do not have the luxury to be so juvenile and complacent this year or in 2020.

They have to turn out.

If they want their children not to live in poverty, they need to turn out.

If they want accessible and quality health care for everyone, they need to turn out.

If they want quality and free education for everyone, they need to turn out.

If they want a clean energy strategy for our country, they need to turn out.

If they want a real law and order party in power, they need to turn out.

If they want The United States to respect everyone's equal and civil rights, they need to turn out.
