I would flat out divorce my partner if she sat out this election, and I’m madly in love with her. I love democracy more.

Perhaps my position is extreme, but we live in extreme times with extreme stakes. Nonparticipation in the war against fascism is silent complicity with fascism. I’d you choose to be apolitical right now, you’re willfully obtuse or morally bankrupt.

I have cut friends out of my life who refuse to vote or who play the “both sides” game with me. They’re gone. Done. Never to be seen again. I have no use for people who have no use for democracy.
