I’m starting to think moderates really do have that goldfish memory…

America has been a lot worse off than it’s about to be.

We had actual slavery, we genocided the native inhabitants, women were property, we even burned some as witches for telling us what we didn’t want to hear.

Emmit Till was brutally murdered as a child because a white girl wanted some attention.

We interned the wives and children of Japanese American while their husbands and fathers were drafted into our military.

Is shit gonna be horrible?

Absolutely.

But it probably won’t be worse than America has ever been. And to stop fighting now makes zero sense.

Learn a lesson from progressives, it’s been almost 20 years since we’ve been happy about a presidential election. That’s never made us stop voting, it’s never stopped us from working on the next election, and it sure as shit hasn’t stopped any of us from complaining.

But maybe next time you can remember that the politically disengaged won’t be motivated to vote by a candidate who chases Republican votes.

For longer than I’ve been alive the most popular excuse for not voting has been:

Both parties are the same

So when Dems act like Republicans, it just normalizes them and makes more people feel ok voting R, and depresses D turnout.

Please don’t forget, or check out for four years.
