I see people saying that they won’t vote for candidates that they don’t agree with on some particular cultural issue. I understand this; however, most of us have to vote for candidates in closed primaries and first past the post elections and then we put them into a coin operated political system.

Things will not change all at once but we have to pull in the same direction first to make a system that will work for us. All this to say that the sometimes you’ll have to vote for a trans-phobic democrat because the alternative is worse.

So as opposed to focusing on whatever cultural issue you’re passionate about focus first on getting candidates that will tackle issues that change the system so that the next candidate will beholden more to their constituents (you) and the issues that they’re passionate about.

A lot of big wins came from this election, but this is far from over. We cannot stop pushing, we cannot continue business as usual. Stop authoritarian takeover Reform our voting systems Get money out of politics There’s more but this is the start to make the government work for the people.

You are up to date.
