This is the moment
Right now. Remember where you where. We are on the cusp of something yoooge.
We saw the same thing in 2008, and it happened. An energized group of supporters came out to Caucus and worked their asses off in support of Barack Obama. They showed up. Even better, they stayed. They persuaded on caucus day and held their own. They saw people switch sides as on the fence supporters who up even to that moment of final decision had not done a whole lot of research. It was just name recognition, knowing the creds, even respecting their candidate, but deep down all they wanted was to win and keep the crazies out of the White House. They would completely throw their support behind the person they felt would win.
These people never visit DU, KOS, JPR. They might read Huffington Post casually, but typically only catch the local news. They have gotten phone calls from Bernie and HC supporters. Someone may have knocked on their door. The ads, they have seen the ads and they are happy it hasn't really been as ugly as it has in the past. They like both candidates, but they just want to win. They know that America may not survive another Bush.
And now here we are. At this moment, this campaign is not the one in panic mode. This campaign has been surging, just like we knew it would. The race in Iowa and New Hampshire is now about showing up, turning out. The HC campaign has a machine for that, but does she have the support? Don't underestimate that. Even if the enthusiasm battle is being won by Bernie, this is still a tough fight.
We have showed up. We have sat in the chairs and listened. Attended the yooge rallies. Put the bumper stickers and yard signs out. But now, now it is that critical time to get out of our seats and into action. At DU, we all know what that means. Money, Time, Activism. We have that in spades, but now our mission is to Get Out that Damn Vote. It's not just GOTV it's GOTDV!!
If we do this. If they come. It will happen and it will be the first wave in a tsunami that wins the White House.
So again, remember this moment. It's the moment we decide whether we win or we lose. Both are possible.
