I won't give up if we don't. I'm not believing that Magic Will Happen and we'll win. I believe it's always worth trying 172% because what the fuck is the alternative? Lay down like a quitter?? It's not in me, man. I'd rather get caught trying. And then I'll get up and try again.

I kind of hate the "Lucy and the football" metaphor for things like Blue Texas and shit because I feel like that implies we're suckers and fools for trying. Fuck that, kick with everything in you every fucking time. By the time we hit that ball our leg is gonna be titanium. 😂

The problem is not that we believe we can do it. The problem is that too many people get excited it will happen but don't do any work to make sure it does, and then they have to perform extra cynicism to get past their embarrassment at acting like they believed in something.

Is there something productive I can do from California other than donating money?

You could write postcards to voters for GOTV! www.turnoutpac.org/postcards

Sometimes when you're feeling hopeless and think "something must be done" it's tempting to do ANYTHING, but Postcards to Swing States is data-driven and measurably boosts turnout in the districts that matter most. It helps you fight the hopelessness AND it moves the needle in a real way!
