Every American who cares at all about America, as in, everything that TRULY makes us special and great when we are at our best, and is truly worth fighting for (our democracy, the right to vote, the rule of law, stuff like that), MUST watch at least the first 27 minutes of tonight's The Rachel Maddow Show (link below). As my mom would say: "Yes, that's a direct order."
Watch it. And then VOTE. And don't let anyone stop you, because the coup is still in process and those in the bright red caps who may or may not have guns with them as they wait to write down your license plate at the drop box are going to try. Do not let them stop you. Do not let them stop our democracy. Too many have fought too long and sacrificed everything for our right to vote and for all that America truly does stand for and truly can be at its best. That best, that ideal America which, yes, we've many times in our history fallen waaaaaay short of, yet other times have dazzled the world by being, and which is still worth loving and fighting for making reality in the present and future, is completely dependent on YOUR vote.
Every election cycle since I came of age, I've been saying, with increasing urgency each time, "Your vote matters." This election cycle, I'm saying: if you do not vote this time, and vote BLUE, next time your vote may not matter. As there may not be a next time.
