Stop trying to shame the shameless. Just organize and outwork them. If they weren’t afraid of your vote, they wouldn’t try to disenfranchise you or throw away your votes. Day to day. Every day. Stop hoping shame works on the shameless. Just stop it. They don’t care about you.

Ignore the endless gushing profiles of the blameless economically anxious voter who is only anxious when women and minorities get near power. Ignore the anger. Ignore the fear. Hold your corners and expand. Day by day. We don’t have to be this way. Do good today then do it again

And focus on local elections. And then state. And then federal. Stop thinking that your vote once every four years is addressing our challenges. Our challenges are daily. Be relentlessly kind and competent.

You want to create a coalition? Here is your campaign slogan and your campaign priorities: WE ALL MATTER OR NONE OF US DO. If you can’t leverage that into a broad-based coalition, find other work.
