It's Time.

By Zamboni

Tomorrow is the first day of early voting in New York. We cats are planning to stand in line, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, at 9 AM. If the wait is too long, we'll come back and stand in line again. The future of the country — and of the planet — depends on it.

To us, defeating Donald Trump means having the coronavirus pandemic handled and being able to travel to Canada again. Down the road a bit, it will mean the saving of our democratic form of government and preventing our slide into autocracy. Only after this nightmare is over will we be able to read Philip Roth's The Plot Against America. Until then, it cuts too close to the bone.

Meanwhile, last night's debate did nothing to change the trajectory of the race. Yes, Republicans think that they can get some traction from Joe Biden's commitment to clean energy. But with the horrible fires in the West, the hurricanes in the South, and the melting glaciers in Greenland, most Americans are more concerned with climate change than with losing a few oil rig jobs. Joe Biden has always been very clear, that we need to move away from a fossil-fuel-based economy. 

There's so much opportunity ahead — and why doubt America's ability to tackle tough problems and succeed? The United States has famously stepped up to the plate and gotten the job done. We won World War II. We beat polio. We landed on the moon. Who's to say that, with the right leadership, we can't stop climate change?

Republicans, that's who. Why entrust our future to them? Vote Biden-Harris. We cats PURR.
