I keep hearing most Americans are not like that... Most Americans are not racists, sexists, extremists...
But where are these "Most Americans"?

Why are their voices not heard? Why are they not flocking to support candidates?

2/5
Why are the extremists the ones with the most followers?
Why are the hate-filled posts the most viral?
Why is the most money raised by the craziest?
Where are those "Most Americans"?
Where is their support?

3/5
"Most Americans" your absence and quiet are only fueling the rhetoric of hate.
They point to their numbers as a sign of them being right and it feeds upon itself.
"Most Americans" your lack of engagement is what will kill the American dream.

4/5
Most Americans may not be on the right, but it sure doesn't feel as if they are on our side either.
So I would advise Most Americans to get engaged, watch your news, like posts, retweet posts, comment, register, volunteer, donate... grow the numbers.

5/5
Most Americans, show us where you really stand because until you do, you are really standing with them and be counted on their side.
For your silence and inaction only benefits them.
You are for all intents and purposes one of them.
Silence is no longer a "side".
