You say vote and someone says:
“Democracy is a sham. Those people don’t speak for me. The system is rigged.”
You say vote. Someone says:
“Well, it doesn’t make a difference. This state is red. Another state is blue. This thing is already a lock.”
You say vote. Someone says:
“Hey, I’m making a statement by not voting.”
And, you say:
Well, I can’t hear it. This is not about the White House. This is about your house. If you’re not registered to vote, you can’t sit on that jury. You can’t choose your mayor. You can’t choose your city council. You can’t even choose your district attorney. You can’t decide which measures will help your family and community and which will put them at risk.
This government was designed to be changed.
You can either make that change or you can take what little they give you. Democracy is not a sham. It’s a job. Our job. And it took too goddamn long to get it to just let it slide.
You say vote because there are people who still don’t want you to.
