It's the day before the Election That Changes Everything, but I'm not going to talk about the (very) good poll numbers I'm seeing everywhere this morning, because people have been known to lie to pollsters. So just watch Beto's inspiring final ad, and let it cleanse your mind of the darkness spread by the other side. What a pleasant contrast!
I don't think I have to remind you to go out and vote tomorrow, but I'll let someone else tell you:

“The 2016 election confirmed that a potential president could run — and win — after stoking racism. Now, in their closing days, the midterms are shaping up as a demonstration of whether the entire Republican Party can succeed by following his lead.” https://t.co/JhuTHMpWhU

Apathy generation is a facilitator of authoritarianism. My new NYT oped on our vicious cycle of losing trust in democratic institutions including voting, which lowers participation so they fail even more. Remedy is to embrace and fix—yes, even the failing. https://t.co/j5JIbAZcWv pic.twitter.com/tpYlLysKI7

So let me get this straight.
The "War On Christmas" is being waged by people who say "Happy Holidays" and NOT by those who not only declare "No Room At The Inn" but treat refugees as criminals?

Fox News talks about George Soros a lot. Its conservative talk shows blame him for all sorts of ills, sometimes even pushing into conspiracy theories.

Let me try to put this whole "Trump's great labor market" nonsense in context. First, he inherited it. Second, and this is much more important, I guarantee you it’s possible to achieve full employment without all the hate.
