I was talking to a dear friend of mine in her 80s when the Biden news came in. She’s a Dem but had been wavering on voting at all, disgusted by the last few months
She instantly snapped “Well don’t expect me to vote now.”
I stared at her & nearly started crying. I begged: “You HAVE to. It’s so important. If not for you, for me, for us. For my sweet kid who doesn’t know people can be hated for who they are yet.”
She went pale. “Ok ok you’re right. I will. I promise.”
Talk to people. Everyone.
