Bootleg or not, this is one of the most important interviews on our dilemma. There is a 1:4? long presentation he has made in the last 70 or so hours posted here that should be viewed by everyone asap... dots connected, period.

This should be mandatory viewing for every voter in America! Do not pass go, set aside 2 hours and watch this, then give yourself a good half hour to compose yourself. Malcolm appears genuinely scared and close to emotional while making the points that this may be the LAST ELECTION we ever get to vote in. ...now or forever endure the demise of life as we know it.


Seriously.

The bootleg version is what we can get on YouTube with an HBO clip, that I know of.

The link you provided is good. I am 1/4 through on watching that video.

I woke up this morning KNOWING my volunteer role for this election, starting today, GOTV is my call to service. I am going to hook-up with others, we can set up tables in public. We can canvass our neighborhoods with voter registration forms. I think each of us has a call to service for our democracy. May we all take heed.

and live in a red stronghold, but we have reasonable people... one of the Senators is Democrat as is our governor. All the same, I am going to check in with the nearest campaign office when I go to the city tomorrow. Personal safety is a concern.

I understand. For me, GOTV, is a safe way to be active for democracy. I am not challenging anyone on their views, unless they are against voting. If they are against voting, wow, now we have something to talk about.

The March For Our Lives group has come up with t-shirts that have a computer square (at this moment, I don't know what it is called) where people can take a photo of it and register to vote in under 2 minutes. I think I will get one of those t-shirts and wear it canvassing.

Regarding safety, I will do the GOTV activities with someone else.
