I vote blue, always have and always will. That’s my politics.
I know a couple of people who are not interested in voting.
The two people I know are straight, cis, white men. They have the privilege of being apolitical.
I don’t.
No one does.
I don’t care if you vote for the Green Party; do they still exist?
Vote for yourself if you have to.
Don’t sit it out.
It’s not just this vital election; every election is vital. There were times in my life when I was too depressed to make it to the polls. I have deep regrets about that.
People literally died so we could vote. Let’s show a little respect.
I’m not here to remind you that there are idiots in office; there have always been idiots in office. The former idiots just hid it better.
Let’s try to get the idiots out and some decent human beings in.
I’m not saying phenomenal. I’m saying decent. Respectable. Intelligent. Compassionate.

I happen to be a Democratic Socialist. You may not agree with my politics, but I actually don’t care. I think I’m right, you think you’re right, and all we do is fight.
How about this? Let’s admit we are all wrong about everything, and that is why this is what we are looking at. This.
Do I really need to elaborate?
We all know how it is.
It’s not good. But let’s face the reality: it was never good. Women couldn’t vote; Black people couldn’t live.
When was it good? When was this so-called utopia?
Never. Like Neverland, it’s dead.
Wake up.
Throw some clothes on.
You don’t even have to wear a bra.
Make your voice heard even if you can’t sing.
