Ten thoughts on the situation:

(1) The last line of defense of democracy is the hearts and minds of the citizenry. Where is your heart? Where is your mind?

(2) Our political culture has developed entire industries devoted to distracting you from the big picture. Round all these distractions to zero, and retain focus on the big picture. See if you can articulate in a single sentence the stakes in this election.

(3) Now, on a scale of 1 to 10, ask yourself how much you care about the sentence you formulated for yourself in (2).

(4) Do you know the earliest day you can vote in whatever jurisdiction you are registered in?

(5) How certain are you that you are, in fact, registered at all?

(6) Learn the answer to question (4) and verify the answer to question (5) even if you think you're sure you know.

(7) Do you know the mechanics of how to vote in your jurisdiction, step by step, during this crisis? Spend a little time to make sure. Literally millions of votes will not be counted because people will make mistakes. Don't give anyone the excuse the throw out your ballot.

(8) Commit to yourself to voting as early as possible and then working to make sure others are voting too.

(9) Nobody is coming to save you.

(10) You are the cavalry.
