Vote!

who did you vote for?

poor mr trump
taking all the blame (not that he’s blameless)

it’s not only the 'leaders'

it takes hundreds if not thousands of people
on the same page to make things this bad

it will take thousands if not millions
to make things better

we need change

eldridge cleaver was correct:
 'there is no more neutrality in the world

you either have to be part of the solution
or you're going to be part of the problem'

change is neutral a vote for change without
specifying positive change is what got us here

a definition of crazy is doing the same thing repeatedly
and expecting a different outcome

let’s stop electing the same
rich old white men


let’s stop voting against something
and instead vote for something

let’s vote a little more selfishly

better education instead of bigger profits
better healthcare instead of insurance companies

better infrastructure instead of more weapons
better environment instead of big oil

vote poor vote crazy
vote feminine vote colorful

vote anarchic vote intelligent
vote kind

don’t let the loud minority
decide for you

vote!
