The weekend before Election Day was full of drama thanks to former Democrat Haley Stevens.

I write “former” because the Michigan Dems kicked her out after she chose to appear alongside Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers and endorse him on Sunday over Abdul El-Sayed, the Dem who beat Stevens in a hotly contested primary.

The head-turning move brought wide condemnation from the left and continued to unify the party behind El-Sayed. Rogers said her move symbolized “courage in politics in America today.”

Of his former opponent’s betrayal, El-Sayed seemed unfazed.

“None of this matters,” he told the Detroit News.

And El-Sayed is right.

Nothing matters now but the voters.

All according to plan

Tomorrow America will decide whether this country changes course or continues on its current path.

And don’t be mistaken, that current path is oblivion. We have a war in Iran without end. We have inflation. We have tariffs making goods more expensive. We have job loss and too many people who have exhausted their unemployment options. We have data centers ruining drinkable water. We have billionaires (and one trillionaire) running amok. 

Yet it’s not 100 percent certain enough Americans have had enough.

In fact, for some, everything is going exactly as they wanted, proving it was never about the health of the country, but the destruction of anyone deemed “different” from the majority.

“If the Post’s reporting that the 2/3rds of the DEI staffers on the list can’t find work is accurate, we cannot overstate our joy that trafficking in anti-white bigotry now makes you unemployable,” wrote Tom Jones, president of the American Accountability Foundation, in an email to the Washington Post. “Our only regret about the watchlist is that we didn’t have the time or resources to profile more left wing woke bureaucrats.”

The Washington Post reported how, by the end of 2025, the number of Black workers in the federal government dropped by 30%. For workers of other races, though? The drop was only 4%. And internal documents from DOGE revealed out of the some odd 200 DEI-related roles it planed to cut were roles “held by Black employees,” at least twice the number of roles occupied by White workers that were cut.

It was the hate all along. Some voters don’t care if all Americans are hurting as long as the Americans they don’t like hurt more.

Overall, more than 600,000 Black women and about 500,000 Black men have lost their jobs since 2025.

Election Day is D-Day for Democracy

If that makes you mad, there’s something we can do about it. In fact, if all the current woes of this country make you furious, there’s something we all can do. It starts with voting, but it doesn’t stop there.

No matter what Tuesday’s outcome brings, we cannot let up in our efforts to hold this administration accountable. We also can’t let our foot off the gas for the Democratic Party if they manage to take Congress. We have to keep protesting, keep organizing, keep contacting our representatives, keep speaking out and keep applying pressure.

Election Day is a beginning, not an end.

It’s the day we stand up and push back. It’s the day we say “enough.” But the Trump Administration is preparing to “govern without Congress,” meaning we have to be prepared to remind him that according the U.S. Constitution that he clearly did not read, he cannot do that. 

No one is supposed to be above the law. Not even a president.

So if you believe in our Democracy and want it to last beyond 2026, it is your civic duty to vote, agitate, and organize. 

Don’t wait for change to come; be that change, and make it happen.

Election Day is tomorrow, Nov. 3rd. If you haven’t, make your plan to vote now.
