    I know you won’t accept this. But I want to say it anyway, on the off chance that it lights some light bulb in your brain.

    Not seeing a difference between Democrat and Republican is a privilege. It means that you are equally affected by both of their policies. Not everyone has that luxury.

    If you could spend just 5 minutes considering those who are negatively impacted more by one of those parties, it should hopefully be clear that not voting hurts those people.

      That’s everyone’s favorite aspect of Democratic Party politics: the finger wagging.

      My parents are eighty years old and drive for DoorDash, because if they don’t, this country will gladly render them homeless. This is true whether Democrats or Republicans are in charge.

      Maybe save your sermon and support candidates that actually demonstrate some actual intent to change things. Democrats’ last presidential candidate said publicly they wouldn’t do anything different, and a lot of struggling people heard that.
