“Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”
Might seem like some nationalistic nonsense, but I think we should realize “your country” is not simply the government or military. Our country is Colin Kaepernick protesting police violence. Our country is Native Americans fighting to defend their land. Our country is LGBTQ youth considering running away from home. Our country is small business owners, the first in their family to graduate from college, trying to support themselves in their passion.
I know on Tuesday people may be thinking about what America didn’t do for you. They didn’t give you the candidate you wanted, or something. But I think we all have a responsibility, a right people have been killed to protect, to go to the polls and demonstrate what we can do for our country.
