I was having a conversation with a friend the other day about why it was so important for Democrats to win the House in November. He has become so disillusioned with both parties that he could not see the bigger picture. He doesn’t follow politics closely. My reply? #WhyVoteBlue

Like many people my friend is not a political wonk. He is disgusted by what Trump is doing to this country. But he also sees Trump as a symptom of a much larger problem within our political system. He is not convinced that there is anyone in either party that will bring change
We started talking about how different this class of Democratic candidates are than previous years. How many have committed not to take PAC money. How many are younger, progressive, and diverse. How many are not ok with the status quo. #WhyVoteBlue
For him it will require SEEING with his own eyes what I believe to be true. So. Now it’s up to you Democrats. You’ve got a shot to convince my friend that it won’t be back to business as usual. Are you up to it? Because there will be millions of Americans watching. #WhyVoteBlue
November 6 is just the beginning. It’s what happens in the next 2 years that will set the stage for our future. I convinced my friend to give Democrats a chance. Who will you convince? The clock is ticking. #WhyVoteBlue
