We are 3 years in and have the next 11 months to change the course of our country, things have been this bad before even worse but now is our time. Here is my thread on 2020. Accompanying my points with a few #Postcardstovoters
1. The Demo in Democracy is people, that means you.
2. The Blue wave is people, each of our efforts matter.
3. Our democracy cannot depend on just one person being electable, it has to be many people being electable.

17. Our Facebook feeds and Twitter bubbles are not the real world even if we wish they were.
18. A lot of our fellow citizens for a a range of reasons don't read the news like some of us do, so sometimes we have to explain a perspective or event, try try not to condescend.
