I was out for walk last night when a neighbor called out from his yard, “Hey, are you gonna vote tomorrow?” “Yep,” I said. “Okay, cool. Just don’t screw it up,” he said. 😆
He didn’t tell me who to vote for, and I won’t tell you. But I will ask some pretty pointed questions.
Do you think we should do something real about the global climate crisis, or do you think we should sit on our hands and just hope things get better while the world burns?
Do you think we should make our own life-altering decisions or do you think the government should make these decisions for us?
Do you think we should take steps to keep our kids from getting murdered in their schools, or do you think that is just the price of freedom?
Do you respect our elections or do you support officially overturning a free and fair election using made-up claims?
Do you believe in civil discourse or do you believe in undermining political foes in their most tragic moments?
I could go on about how Republican policies are damaging lives. 😩. They also seem oddly scared of you voting and aim to keep that from happening.
If you believe in personal rights, respect for democracy, and solving problems in America, it looks like you may be down to one real option*.
*Libertarians seem consistent and ethical but don’t have a great answer to “things that affect everyone” like climate change and gun violence.
If you disagree, then vote your conscience and let’s get through this together. ✌️
