I’m stuck here with you, living in a red state.

I spent years trying to convince people to vote. Not just presidential elections, the yearly local shit too. It’s become one of the big things I’ve been doing a lot.

When I had people I respected proudly tell me they didn’t vote either way, I lost hope for this damn country that if one this fucking important couldn’t get them to bother, nothing will.

I can’t blame people for leaving after that, I’m not sure I have the energy in me to keep beating the drum if I’m completely surrounded by people who are in far more danger than I am giving far less shits than I do.
