I was talking to a dear friend of mine in her 80s when the Biden news came in. She’s a Dem but had been wavering on voting at all, disgusted by the last few months
She instantly snapped “Well don’t expect me to vote now.”
I stared at her & nearly started crying. I begged: “You HAVE to. It’s so important. If not for you, for me, for us. For my sweet kid who doesn’t know people can be hated for who they are yet.”
She went pale. “Ok ok you’re right. I will. I promise.”
Talk to people. Everyone.
@capnthommo @Catvalente Because the change is the move of the petty drama-making media corporations, their pundit pawns, and weakthy donor class/celebrities who literally live in castles to invalidate the already-made decision of thousands of people who voted for Biden. Their(our) choice was taken away for the sake of the media and donor interests. Yes, support Harris…but also yes, be aware of how the people’s choice has been disregarded, disrespected, and displaced.
