I’m new to posting here but not new to this community.
I’ve been reading here for many years.
Now use that rage! Turn it to action!
All you defeatists can go fuck yourselves. Your a demoralizing faction. I don’t want you on my team and the mission is far too important to trust to the cowardly. Please step to the sideline and watch what the rest of us can accomplish.
To everyone else, to everyone who’s hope is hanging by a thread, to all that have tears in their eyes, to all that have a quivering voice! TAKE HEART! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Find your courage. Find your heart. In one month we have the opportunity to save our country and quite possibly the world. It’s time to do your duty.
We might go down BUT if we do you owe it to your children and grandchildren, your brothers and sisters, your grandparents and great grandparents both republican and Democrat that lived in a time when political discourse still maintained a degree of civility, you owe to them....if we go down, we all go down STANDING UP! If we remain standing we can’t lose.
This may be our last opportunity to nonviolently preserve our union and our planet.
DO YOUR DUTY
We can prevail
Drive people to the polls
If your informed ask for a ride
Walk your neighborhood
If there is no political sign inthe yard go talk to them
If there is a repub sign, fuck them, today they are the enemy to free people if the world
If there is a dem sign stop by and thank them.
This is not the time for any post that is critical of Hillary or Bernie
We can fight amongst ourselves later, but today put it to bed
It might sound dramatic but I believe this to be real and deadly serious. Real people in the real world are going to die if you don’t do this.
If you ever want to look your children in the face again you must do this. If you don’t want to surrender your sons to rape culture you must do this.if you don’t want to surrender your daughters to abuse you must do this.
Again, this might be the last chance to do it non violently.
There are things that are worse than war and the direction our country is going is one of them. This is the opportunity to fix it at the ballot box.
It must be overwhelming and undeniable.
We, together, must leave no doubt as to how the population of this country wishes to be governed
