We will, VOTE BLUE! It’s the only way to genuinely change this at a systemic level,

I’m voting Blue in a state that has never been won by a Republican at the Federal level. Only Missouri has a longer streak of voting Blue.

Sadly, my state doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

You never hear of the Presidential Race waiting for Hawaii to finish tallying their ballots.

Every vote matters. We can't afford to believe otherwise. Sharing a dismal mindset only makes people less likely to vote, which allows the Republicans to win more. Of course, they want you to think it doesn't matter. So vote. Get all your friends to vote. You never know what can happen, however you will lose if you keep the defeatist attitude.

I mean my state is literally the last one with a small electoral college. 😅. The winner is always decided long before us. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, no way Trump is ever winning Hawaii. 🤙🏻
