2. No denying the force of this movement
awesome, a movement. also an anti war movement.

Better than SNL (cause it uses more energy than just befriending GE), if you ask me.

6. This is cool
It requires people to actually get out of their houses and go and interact with people of different backgrounds for one common cause. This is really a movement that will be written about for years to come. Election campaigning will never be the same, hopefully.

7. Hillary supporters will be getting out the vote, while you all preach
to the choir and let your over confidence do you in.

10. yep, I bet all of these folks will skip the voting process entirely
If only there was some way a 50-mile human chain might get the word out to vote...
