Vote VI
The
stage is set on the race is on, there are seventy-three days to go until the
general election.
It
has been two days since the Democratic National Convention concluded, having
played out remotely due to the material necessities imposed by the global
pandemic, COVID-19.
Many
media analysts have said that the web based teleconference style of the
presentations played well with the viewer, the fact that there was
no-big-stage, the absence of crowds, the lack of cheering and the endless
prattle of the pundits allowed for a more conversational presentation of the
case the Democratic Party is making for their candidates and their platform,
for our candidates and our platform, then would have been possible in the
standard format.
The
speeches that were given were somber yet hopeful, personal and hard hitting,
they successfully portrayed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the thoughtful
intelligent human beings that they are…if you believe it.
Unfortunately,
the self-styled “progressive” left, which I refer to as the fundamentalist-wing
of the democratic party, they have taken no time at all to disparage the
Biden/Harris ticket as not representing their interests, not in touch with the
base (whatever that means).
They
are unhappy that the spotlight has moved away from them, unhappy that the PARTY
writ large is putting up the big tent in the hope of turning
out a landslide victory against Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and the rest of
the treasonous traitors that make up the Republican Party.
All
I can say is, STOP IT!
Stop
talking about turning against Joe Biden the day after he becomes the President
Elect, stop complaining about the former republicans, and Never-Trumpers who
spoke at the DNC. Stop making the swing voters, whether they are traditional
swing voters, or people who are going to shift party for the first, stop making
them feel uncomfortable, they have come to the dance, let them in.
For
the first time in their lives they are talking with us, with you, this is an
opportunity for dialogue…take it.
Say
your piece and listen, find common ground and hold it.
It
is impossible to know what will happen seventy-three days from now, we may wake
to find ourselves rejoicing, we may wake in a state of anxiety, we my wake to a
state of despair, whatever it is that we are going to face lets face it together,
with purpose and resolve.
Let
me be clear…Your vote is so important, we need everyone to vote, to vote early,
to ensure that your vote is counted, to stir your friends and family, to get them
to the poles as well.
It
is equally as important that everyday between now and then you spread the same
message of hope and strength through unity of purpose.
Check
yourself, and check those around you. Check the self-styled “progressives” if
they won’t come along, tell them to keep quiet, the real change-agents are
working now.
It
is time to lead or follow, or get the hell out of the way.
