It's the dead part of the election cycle. The primaries are over. The main event is on deck. Let's dream. Not about the impossible, but the unlikely, but possible.
If Clinton wins by 15%, the map will look something like the above. 55% to 40% to 5% is doable. Fuck, the scary part is it still involves 40% voting for Donald Trump.
We have been handed on a silver platter an opportunity to not defeat “conservatism”, but to destroy it. The Reagan platform of “trickle down”, of “white power” of anti gay, anti middle class, anti Union, anti choice, and anti everything American.
This election has the potential to change the future. Not subtle ways, but the way my child who turned 5 today (happy bday) will live. Not in an abstract, but in his daily life.
We are really bad at this. We tend to poop our pants when given an opportunity.
I've been flagged, temp banned, called nasty names, but my goal (and yours), is for a liberal America. Let's do this.
We fight like siblings (and you're still wrong), but we come from the same place with the same goals.
It's up to us now.
