50 Ways to Save Democracy (9-22-20)


(apologies to Paul Simon)

The problem’s not inside our heads, it’s plain to see
The answer’s easy if you take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to save democracy
 
Resolve to ditch Mitch
Vote now to dump, Trump
Just say to scram, Graham
And set ourselves free
You vote to de-thrown Jones
Don’t need more Trump clones
Vote absentee’s the key
To set ourselves free
 
Set out to destroy DeJoy
In the trash toss DeVoss
Time to layoff Loeffler
We need a voting spree
Defeat is our wish, Risch
You’re no longer amusin’, Susan (Collins)
Swish down the drain, Daines
We’ll vote ourselves free
 
Ooh, move to disbar Barr
Make this the end, Enzi
Vote to dispense with Pence
Set the USA Free
Make Cotton forgotten
Let’s make flee Cassidy
To the outgoing, add Chad (Wolf)
Save Democracy
 
I say it grieves me so to see us in such pain
But there is something we can do to make us smile again
Let me se if I can again explain
About the 50 ways
 
Throw in the dump, Trump
Over the fence, Pence
Leave in the ditch Mitch
We all know what to do
Impeach and disbar Barr
Do not choose Cruz
Kick out of the class Sasse
Turn the Senate bright blue
 
Say it’s time to quit, Mitt
It’s time to return, Earnst
Time to take off, Inhofe
We’re under attack
Your leave’s overdue, Purdue
Time to abscond, Thom (Tillis)
Please leave quicker, Whicker
Gotta take the Senate back
 
Send into mournin’ Cornyn
Make his days gloomy Toomey
Take away Scott’s spot
They’ve lost the right
Vote out the schmuck, Chuck (Grassley)
Say au revoir, Lamar
Gotta end this sham, Graham
And we’ll win this fight
 
We just need a plan, Stan
of the 23 seats up, yup
Make 3 seats defeats
To save democracy
Give McGrath a path
To fully ditch Mitch
Then we can stump Trump
Save Democracy
