🇺🇸 These are scary times, sure, but if you want to tell me they are hopeless, hit the road and get on out of here, because I just don’t have time for you or your negativity and cowardice.

We CAN do this, because we MUST do this. Everything depends on it.

To quote Obama: "Don't boo, vote!"

Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

📌Dick Cheney helped push W. Bush into an illegal war based on lies that resulted in the killing and wounding of hundreds of thousands of innocent troops and civilians, and then profited handsomely off of it.
He was one of history's worst people. Don't dishonor the dead by honoring this monster.
