Save Our Democracy

Yesterday afternoon, the weather was beautiful. As I was walking out of the library during my lunch break, an Asian girl stopped me. She asked me, “Did you vote for Trump?” That was a bold question to ask a stranger. I wanted to say, “Fuck no,” but I replied, “Hell no” instead. She showed me the back of her binder and explained that she was getting signatures to get a Democrat candidate on the ballot for General Assembly. After I added my signature, I asked her, “What motivate you to do this?” She answered, “Democracy.” I thanked her for doing what she did and I encouraged her to fight for our democracy. Many Asians worried about their pocketbooks that they didn’t care about democracy. She nodded and also choked up. We thanked each other and parted way.
