"'Our democracy is at stake,' Obama says on Virginia campaign trail," by Isaac Dovere in Richmond, Virginia: "Fresh from New Jersey after making an appearance for the Democratic gubernatorial candidate there, Phil Murphy, his own former ambassador to Germany, Obama uncorked. He argued that this year's elections are an existential moment that should - if Democrats do what he's kept telling them to do, without much success, and vote - be the start of reasserting an American politics and society that turns away from what's embodied by President Donald Trump.
"'We need you to take this seriously. Our democracy is at stake,' Obama said. 'Elections matter. Voting matters. You can't take anything for granted. You can't sit this one out. It's up to you. And if you believe in that better vision not just of our politics, but of our common life, of our democracy, of who we are; if you want that reflected in our government, if you want our kids to see our government and feel good about it, and feel like they're represented and if you want those values that you are teaching your children reinforced ... then you've got to go out there.'
