Mike's Midterm Tsunami Truth #39
Roevember Election Day Mixtape
The Day has arrived. The verdict will soon be rendered. I have only one vote. So do you. But all of us together decide where we want the country to go.
I’ve been counting on the vast majority with whom I share this land, the ones who believe in the human rights of women, who believe that the human species is in deep environmental danger, who believe the rich, by getting richer, have made life harder for everyone else — I believe we, together, are going to turn this all around. Beginning today. Right?
To celebrate this day, I’ve made a playlist, a mixtape of special music for a special day. Something to listen to while in line at your polling place. Or listen to it tonight as you fall asleep. Or if you’ve already voted, just put it in your ears or on your sound system and let ‘er rip all day long. Feel good. Be proud of what you’ve done. Enjoy this moment. Have a virtual dance with me! Get ready for the future. There is much to do.
But today, sing a song, let out a yell, wear mismatched socks and share a simple kindness with someone. VOTE if you haven’t already! I’ll be at my polling location this afternoon. I will party with all of you tonight, no matter the outcome. We can’t be stopped now.
Enjoy the tunes!
