If we want a democracy, we must constantly build it and repair it

This is not the work of a day but the work of many people's lives

And the project has always had highly-motivated, carefully organized, and well-funded enemies

We have to hold onto power. That means not only voting but staying engaged.

You can ask any repuke and they will tell you some political idea. It may be complete bull shit but they have one. We on the other hand “move on.”

I hope not this time.
