What we do matters!

It’s so difficult to focus on politics these days. Truly. We have COVID-19 with its extending issues affecting us constantly and then, with the death of George Floyd, it seems things are breaking at the fragile seams. Sometimes politics in general, and certainly in the day-to-day minutia, seems frivolous and completely irrelevant to our actual day-to-day life. And it is . . .

At the moment. We are flailing away at parsing out the details of good candidates’ differences when so much is at stake. All we really want to do is to live our own lives and to not be bothered by outside troubles.

But, here we are. What seems small and irrelevant today is critical for our future. We have to stay focused to be able to make systemic differences, both in our government and in our societal leanings. If we can’t change racism and fascism, certainly we can try our hardest to change the system that not only tolerates it but condones it.

Anyway, sorry about the rant.

We have an important program coming up on voter suppression; we have all kinds of zoom meetings—the Lebanon Dems are hosting Dan Feltes—. And there are “opportunities” to make phone calls for the cause.

Tomorrow, the deadline looms for people to change affiliations. Hopefully those disillusioned Republicans will chose to participate as Democrats in the primary.

Speaking of voting . . . The absentee ballot is now the stand-in for voting by mail in New Hampshire. It’s better than nothing. People must declare that fear of COVID-19 can justify ticking the box for a disability—but that’s OK. It’s a baby step toward mail-in voting and as many other states have proven, that’s the safest way to vote.

And then there is summer . . . To savor and enjoy.
