๐บ๐ธNationally We lost.
But โฆ Iโm not going away.
I donโt have deep things to say, but please consider following me. If we align, I will follow you.
But โฆ Iโm not going away.
Iโm not part of the Political Chattering Class. I wonโt engage in Whys and Wherefores. I wonโt engage in Recriminations and Handwringing. I supported causes and candidates I believe are best for our country. Iโm bitterly disappointed that the majority of my fellow Americans, (the ones who voted that is!!) didnโt agree.
But โฆ Iโm not going away.
I am very much concerned for the future of our Democracy and Constitutional Republic, but Iโm not giving up. I will keep fighting for the causes I believe in. Iโll do my best with my limited resources.
But โฆIโm not going away.
We had a few local wins across the country, but at the national, state and local levels, generally the causes and candidates I support lost.
But โฆ Iโm not going away.
Despite many of our fears, we must Not consider this the last American Election. We must register people to vote. We must engage in the public square.
AndโฆIโm not going away.
There will be many special elections in the coming months as MAGA Republicans at all levels get involved in government. We must get involved from the gitgo because these will be very short election cycles. We have the opportunity to begin chipping away at their โmandate.โ I sure as heck donโt see it as such, but they do.
AndโฆIโm not going away.
Sensible gun laws, womenโs reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, public education, libraries, free speech, physical and social media safety, religious freedom, housing rights, healthcare and many others are still very much worth fighting for.
AndโฆIโm not going away.
Take the time you need to grieve, refresh, pray, sing, earn some more money, vacuum, wash the dishes, shower, do a little local retail therapy, pet a cat or a dog or ride a horse, play golf or football or soccer or basketball or game on line, play a board game, go out to dinner. Protect your and your familyโs physical and mental health. Iโm doing the same. Iโll engage when I can.
AndโฆIโm not going away.
@RCdeWinter ๐บ๐ธ Thank you. Iโm going to watch this. ๐บ๐ธThis was before my time, plus we didnโt have a TV until my last year of high school in 1969-1970. My folks felt it would be counterproductive for us kids. ๐บ๐ธ
