The way forward

To many are stuck in the “middle-of-the-road” cooperation mode and have lost the activist spirit that is starting to be reborn in our young people. The serious risk is that this new born activism rising up in our young people will be crushed or undermined by the “cooperating/compromising” wing of “adults” that have become so desperate that the only way they see to have a majority is to adopt republican ideals to appeal to republicans and telling everyone else to “shut up and live with it”.

One of my favorite lines from The American President
They don’t drink the sand because they’re thirsty, they drink the sand because they don’t know the difference

We don’t inspire a next generation by being the same, we inspire them by reminding everyone why we are different

Protest. Act. VOTE.
