One more frustration post, then I'll chill for a bit...

When you enter a voting booth, you're not just deciding for yourself. You're establishing policy for *other people*.

I'm asking that we think beyond us-vs-them modality and actually think about what will help not only us, but those around us.

You may have great health insurance... others don't.

You may not have financially crippling student loans... others do.

You may be 22 in great shape with no pre-existing conditions... others aren't in that position.

You might not be a terrified pregnant woman with no options... other people are.

Think of not just yourself when you vote.

It sucks having stood for something and then finding out you were wrong. It fucking sucks.

Example. In my *very* early 20s, i subscribed to the idiotic conspiracy theory that we never went to the moon.

My reasoning was somewhat logical... going to the moon is certainly possible, but it's also hard and expensive. May be more cost effective to fake it and gain political capital?

Yes, we landed on the moon. Like literally every other 20 yr old on the planet, i was an idiot.

My point being... dude, when the science is in, just concede.

It's ok to be wrong.

I do it all the fucking time.

The real show of character is admitting your error and learning from it.

It takes huge swinging ones to say "I'm sorry"

It takes the same to say "i was wrong"
