Just fight

For what you believe in. For what is right.

I'm not going to make a list of what I think are liberal principles. Maybe what I think isn't what you think. It doesn't matter.

We're experiencing a moment right now.

The people at the top are trying desperately to dictate to those at the bottom.

Don't let them. When is the best time? Now? Next election? The one after? You'll always be "helping the Republican" if you stick up for yourself, for your family, and for your community.

So go all in, right now, at this time.

They'll try to divide you. Don't let them. They'll lapse on the old tricks. You're racist or sexist or heteronormative. Don't let them. Did you always hold Democratic values?

Then fight already. If not now, when?

All the way to Philidelphia and beyond.

Liberals have just had a neo-con candidate dictated from the top-down with a fucking crazy man as a side-job.

Are you falling for this?

Then fight, damnit.

fits perfectly with how they feel about Hillary. She has busted the trust. But it is also ironic that with that nickname he complains of socialism. A democrat complaining about socialism even though we have social security and various other socialist programs is quite telling indeed. Comical at best.

I'm canvassing for Bernie. I wasn't plannin to, but some friend convinced me.

And then, various variables afoot, I may book a flight to Philadelphia.

And then I'll be one of those horrible Bros on TV.
