AFAIK,
They DON'T LISTEN to AM Hate Radio
They DON'T WATCH Fox Hate Television
They DON'T FOLLOW hate groups on social media.
They're trying to live their own lives.

And they're being gunned down by RWNutjobs.

HEY OLD FARTS OF 30 or so years (or lots more)
THIS IS THE FUTURE. It's THEIRS
GIVE THEM ONE by urging them to vote.

Apologies for the CAPS. I am FIRED UP by this idea.
and I'm a dad who wants a future for my daughter and others!

and otherwise, GOTV no matter who.
