PLEASE RE-BLOG
I don’t normally say that? but everyone is talking (shaming people) about how the Congressional elections are SO IMPORTANT - but nobody is educating folks on how to go about it.
HERE IS HOW
Hey kids, don’t forget - it’s not just a presidential election! Keep hitting the polls!!!
AND DO NOT FORGET, MINDS CAN CHANGE OVER TIME. If every vote for the last 15 years was progressive, but in 1994 you find out that your candidate voted against a minimum-wage increase, consider all the evidence. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Have they voted for increases since then? Spoken about income inequality? Politicians are also people (well–most of them, I still think Malevolent Tangerine is a scientific experiment gone horribly wronger), and they can learn and grow too.
THIS. Keep it going.
Vote all the way down the ticket, everyone. Put some thought into your choices if you can find some info on who is running in your district or whatever.
