IMHO those of us who have decent social media & Twitter followings have a responsibility to use our platforms to help Democrats & help get out the vote. The rage has got to take a back seat to amplifying the message to get folks engaged about candidates & voting. Remember how /1
In 2016 we felt like it was so obvious that Trump was an awful choice? And we’d point it out over and over again? Well that awfulness didn’t move everyone like it moved many of us. Using our platforms to point out that the assholes are still assholes doesn’t help us get Dems /2
Elected. We have the ability to catch people’s attention and share our values right now if we have a decent social media following. We have the chance to say these are the terrific folks to back and vote for. We can be sarcastic & enraged & flip on Nov. 7, but until then /3
I’m hoping we can use our platforms less for rage and more for productive inspiration, motivation, and candidate spotlighting to make sure we all have our eyes on the prize. If any of my influencer followers reads my thread, I hope you will join me to #MotivatenotAgitate /END
