I'll tell you all a secret:

Win this for us all and we can do almost the same thing. In four years we could make voting easier. We could collectively push to end gerrymandering and implement a fair and true foundation for a stronger and better system. If Trump and his cronies truly believe they can take down everything that has been built, I bet we can begin building a better tomorrow through the action of each of us as individuals, working together towards a more positive future.

Let's pay to deliver our future and not get robbed to repeat the past.

Yeah, but don't stop at Trump. Get the fuckers out of the House/Senate too. Vote against Trump-lite mayors, , councils, and civil positions. This doesn't mean always vote D, but stop letting insane candidates win via voter apathy, whatever the riding.

Where you can, make a difference yourself. Run for HOA, school board, etc yourselves and get the power-tripping fucktards out.

I'll bet we can do it by working together as groups.

No OP, but yes, volunteer and get involved too!

Here's one site to find volunteer opportunities around you (for campaign related opportunities and also things like climate action there)

...working together towards a more positive future.

See? Teamwork!
