Later today, the 2020 election cycle will end for me

I will fill out the ballot; drive a short distance to the election office; and place the ballot in the drop box.

I did not watch the debate. Trump could have given the "I have a dream...." speech and topped it off with $2,000 checks for everyone and I would not have cared. The destruction of democratic norms in an attempt to institute one-party rule has to stop. White America is trying to resist becoming an electoral plurality. Fossil fuel America doesn't want to give up the easy money. I get it. But authoritarianism, science denial, and an apartheid state aren't a recipe for longevity or prosperity.

I encourage everyone with the ability to vote early to do so, and deliver your ballot directly if possible.

but when they come in, it won't take me more than a day or so to fill it out and like you, drop it in the box.

you can still talk to friends, phone bank for candidates, donate if you can.

Voting is the minimum we can all do.

The minimum.

I challenge you and everyone else to do at least one OTHER thing between now and election day.
