Where the lemonade is made. Sweeeeet lemonade. Ok, ok, my age is showing...

Multiple things can be true at once.

• The election process in the US is horribly constructed in the first place
• It’s executed even more poorly
• Nevertheless, voting does determine who sits in the seat
• It does matter who sits in the seat
• The person who sits in the seat will represent the wealthy and powerful, not you
• It does matter who represents the powerful, because they can be pushed (by the people, and by the powerful) in different ways
• Even if we get the right person in the seat, and do a very good job of pushing them, it won’t be enough
• We need to do it anyway, because that act of organizing isn’t only to influence politicians — it’s also to influence ourselves, and improve our ability to find a path to real victory

Don’t think that voting alone is sufficient. Don’t think that voting and organizing are sufficient. But also don’t think that voting and organizing are not necessary.

I actually lol'd and then kind of gagged mid lol? I thought you should know. 💚
