It's not rocket science and we certainly don't need Tim Wise to tell us how it's done.
I used to see those letters EVERYWHERE on DU.
GOTV!
But I hardly ever do anymore. I'm challenging anyone to explain to me what they mean and what part, of what they stand for, you plan to do to help us win in 2020.
Don't be embarrassed or ashamed if you don't know what they stand for because you have plenty of time to figure that out and to make the commitment to participate in the process.
But will you?
It's so much easier to whine and complain and attempt to push some questionable policy position or attack candidates. Being a keyboard warrior amounts to little more than blowing air. Being hell bent on making a point but doing little or nothing to build consensus. All talk, no action, as the saying goes.
You have to be willing to spend some sweat equity.
You have to focus on being a uniter and not a divider. You have to peel yourself off the sofa or out of your easy chair, plan your commitment and follow through.
Luckily, you have time to figure out, on what side of history you plan to find yourself. Will you GOTV or just complain about the state of the party? Will you actually try to do something to help us win?
When I first became a member here I didn't have a clue what GOTV stands for but one day I asked someone and everything changed for me. I went from a Moral Monday marcher with Reverend Doctor Barber to an active participant in our democratic process.
If you are interested in what I do and have done to GOTV, I'll be glad to share with you. Just ask and let's GOTV together.
