belated thoughts on the election
For now, hope is greater than fear in our country (if only by a little bit).
The people who came out and volunteered at our field office and everywhere else are amazing. We really built something throughout this process. But we can't let it end there. We have to keep the momentum we've established going and hold our newly-elected leaders to the ideals we fought for. We're on the hook for this now, too.
Similarly, being involved in a campaign is a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. It's also very rewarding. I feel a sense of ownership that I haven't felt in a long time. This wasn't just an election that I voted in, this was my election. And that's going to keep me motivated to fight for change.
Yanking out campaign signs (no matter whose name is printed on them) says more about the person doing it than anything else. As does being rude to people who call you or knock on your door. It also doesn't accomplish anything.
The kids are alright. They might not have come out to vote in the numbers we hoped everywhere, but a lot of young people were involved in this election.
People who drive people to their precinct to vote in their first election are rad.
