Early Birds And Worms


By Hubie and Bertie

The saying should be "Early cats get the tuna," but never mind. We have something important to share today.

If you're upset about the feds stockpiling weapons of war to clear protesters from Lafayette Park — if you're offended by Bill Barr threatening to criminally charge the Mayor of Seattle for nothing — if the idea of Benedict Donald shoving his tongue down your throat makes you gag — you're sure as heck gonna vote for Biden-Harris this fall.

What's freaking people out, however, is the nightmare scenario of Trump claiming victory on Election Night without the mail-in and absentee ballots being counted, after which the country dissolves into chaos.

Want to help prevent that? Vote early.

At least 40 states and the District of Columbia offer some form of early voting — including crucial battleground states like Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. Click here to find links to your state's board of elections for details, and make a plan to vote.

That plan to vote early should include any precautions you want to take vis-a-vis the coronavirus pandemic that Team Trump refuses to control. (Part of the reason they're neglecting to do that, of course, is to make you afraid to exercise your franchise. Don't let them intimidate you.) Wear a mask, think about a face shield and gloves, bring an already-marked-up sample ballot, whatever ID you need, wipes, and your own pen. Whatever it takes, make it a part of your plan.

We have one chance at getting Trump out, folks. If we don't, America is doomed. Let's do this. We cats PURR.
