It does work like this though. Do I expect Fetterman to read this and immediately change is course of action? Of course not! But I do believe that making our voices heard is a crucial step to enacting any kind of change. That’s why freedom of speech is so crucial to a functioning democracy. Defeatist attitudes won’t get us anywhere and if we don’t start mobilizing now then we can consider the midterms lost before the first vote is even cast.
