It’s time to be heard

<p>There&rsquo;s a lot of propaganda out there asking us&nbsp;<em>not</em>&nbsp;to vote. &ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t make a difference,&rdquo; they&rsquo;ll say. Or: &ldquo;the lines are really long.&rdquo; Or they&rsquo;ll talk down the whole process, as if democracy isn&rsquo;t cool, or participating in it is some kind of affront to a higher cause. Or they&rsquo;ll suggest &mdash;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/issues/ensure-every-american-can-vote/vote-suppression/myth-voter-fraud" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">wrongly and maliciously</a>&nbsp;&mdash; that the whole thing is rigged.</p> <p>Bullshit. Vote. This is the bare minimum table stakes for living in a democracy. Picking our elected representatives matters. Voting on ballot initiatives matters. This is the way we get to have a say.</p> <p><a href="https://benwerd.medium.com/its-time-to-be-heard-301662dbc9a2"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
