I didn’t believe Kennedy could win as an independent either. Last year I went to my first Kennedy event. This was right before it was rumored he was going to turn independent. The person that sat next to me asked if I heard the rumors. I said, “yes, but I’m worried America isn’t ready to turn independent yet. We will get there one day but I don’t know if it’s this year.” The man next to me replied back, “Oh really? I think it’s going to happen. I think we are there.” This man was completely normal, not the tin foil hat kind of vibes people think Kennedy supporters are. He was full of hope and didn’t doubt Kennedy, or America, for a second. This changed something in me. I love talking with others who share the same hope for our future. We don’t engage in silly little arguments about who is the lesser of two evils. Instead, we spend time talking of what could be and how to get it done. You are who you hang out with. If you continue to make your circle full of people who don’t believe in change, you will be stuck. Hope is a powerful thing. Slavery, segregation, women’s suffrage, and women’s rights didn’t change until people had hope that it could. So do the scary thing. Have hope. Let’s see change🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
