30. My take on Four months
Sat Jun 27, 2026, 12:14 PM

to reeducate these independents of what they already know/observed. We older folk are exhausted informing their conscience, moral compass and appeals to humanity. I’m not buying that an “independent” needs my further attempts to show them the practicality of voting against this fascism.

If they are truly that undecided after considering the travesty that is unfolding before them via maga, P2025, ICE, impeachments, and the rest, they are not undecided. They’re actually hiding their true allegiance or irredeemably incapable of instruction from me.

Rather than the exhausting entreaties to the “independents”, I will work my voice to hoarseness whipping up the honest voting enclaves that deserve my effort. However, if progressive members within my self-identified politics want to invest their hope to sway these folk to our side I would not stand in their way.
