The “in my name” shame

My latest at Medium.

I haven’t spoken for a party, and haven’t been a dues-paying member of a party for 15 years. But I think I’ve opened several minds within my extended family, longtime friends, and general audiences. Let’s exaggerate that to the nth degree: what if I, having never appeared on radio or television, had persuaded 10,000 people to switch their votes. 

Over 50 states. 

If my own efforts swayed that many people to switch from one of the Two Parties to the other, that still wouldn’t have influenced any election, let alone a Presidential election.
