Two young women, who will be at my house, voted for the first time, this year. Initially, both were Bernie supporters, as was I, but I encouraged them to support Hillary and they did. Both are pretty shattered and disillusioned. I can empathize. My first vote was for George McGovern.

I don't want them to let this experience sour them on being politically active. Anything I can share about my journey, that will help to get them back on track, I will.
