My friend (in her 30’s) was convinced that politics is something that is not very worthwhile. Her friends talked her in to voting for Bernie in the primary, and were not enthusiastic about voting in the general. She heard all the usual Republican talking points about Hillary, and didn’t want to discuss her at all.
But today she called me, and said she wants to work as hard as she can for Hillary, and how soon can she start ! What made this difference, since many of her friends have not changed their minds yet is that she watched Michelle Obama’s speech at the convention ! It was the only one she watched, but she is now on board all the way — phone banking, registering, canvassing, etc. as soon as possible. So all it takes for some people is a sincere person they respect telling the truth about Hillary and who she is and all she has accomplished. Good news for all of us.
And now she wants to go back and listen to all the speeches that I recommend — with her best friend, who has also been very apathetic. I am going to choose the ones I loved the best and there are SO many, but for her I am going to start with Chelsey, then Bill, and then Hillary, and President Obama and add on after that, because those give such a good picture of who Hillary really is.
