"We do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate"

I agree💯percent. And it is a tragedy that so many decided NOT to participate in Nov. As someone who put everything I could on the line to get out the vote and elect Democrats from the top of the ticket to the bottom, I am struggling to not be bitter about those who sat out for whatever reason.

I found the following video posted on a postcarding slack channel which I follow It hit home for me and I do think the message is more effective than bitter recriminations. So I wanted to share it here: https://x.com/unlearn16tweet/status/1885811418940707230?s=12&t=8p2N85Us9Gt07ciFqZRlRA

I also emailed it to Robert directly, since it is easy to miss comments because of the sheer volume of comments we are seeing. Please share the video; I think it may resonate with young people who may be regretting their decision to stay on the sidelines after the past few weeks.

Love the video, and I think you're quite right about making people feel good as a motivator compared to blaming them. Too bad it's on Xitter, I'd love to share it but don't have anything to do with Musk-related entities.

I understand. Are you on Tiktok? I clicked on her X profile and there are a bunch of Tiktok videos so I bet you could find it there. I am on neither one.
