Subject: Re: Here’s What Honoring The Oath Looks Like
Sign at a https://www.fiftyfifty.one demonstration last Saturday.

The saddest sign (to me) that I saw in photos of one of the rallies said, "If Not Now, When?"

The answer to that, of course, is "Fall of 2024." Not now. Then. All of this energy, all of this activism, all of this engagement - the time to do all that is before an election is taking place, not after you've lost.

Tepid engagement before the election followed by motivated outrage after the election doesn't accomplish much. Hopefully the folks most enraged, most scared, most appalled by the current depredations committed by the Administration will hold onto that energy in 2028 if they have to deal with yet another Democrat who isn't their Manic Pixie Dream Candidate, but still presents a significant choice compared to the alternative.
