you get what you get

‘Oba­ma Nom­i­nee
for Am­bas­sador
Dies Af­ter
Wait­ing 830 Days
for Con­fir­ma­tion,
Thanks To One
GOP Sen­a­tor’

And this is sim­ply one be­nign ap­point­ment, thwart­ed as a “fuck you” to Oba­ma.

830 *days*

What do you think they would have done to free col­lege tu­ition?

Or the $15 min­i­mum wage?

Thing is, we can’t be all about a rev­o­lu­tion when it’s ex­cit­ing and then let go of the wheel the rest of the time.

If you want change – ac­tu­al change – to hap­pen you have to put in the work and you have to be re­lent­less.

You have to vote deep tick­et and you have to show up.

We didn’t lose Tues­day due to some Hy­draesque Gi­ant Shad­ow Con­spir­a­cy. The truth just isn’t that sexy. We just plain ol’ didn’t turn up.

Not in the num­bers need­ed.

And when we get dis­il­lu­sioned, when we re­ject the Pass­able or Good be­cause it isn’t The Per­fect, when we give up be­cause the hero­ic movie nar­ra­tive we played out in our heads doesn’t come out like we hoped … we get this kind of shit.

Be­cause the oth­er side is al­ways more than hap­py to show up, whipped into a fren­zy about X So­cial is­sue.

This is­n’t about ex­cite­ment.
It’s not about duty.

It’s about re­spon­si­bil­i­ty. Bor­ing old re­spon­si­bil­i­ty.
