I hope you are trying to do that too.

What does this even mean?

I have voted. I have attended rallies. I have resisted.

What I haven't done is serve 8 years as a mayor, 16 years as a congressperson or 18 years as a senator. I never held a prestigious seat or had the power of a committee, never had the power of the pen or the ability to cast a single vote in the house or senate. I have not had the power to write of pass a bill that would help all Americans.

We need a hell of a lot more than hope if we will come out of this alive.
