As I’ve been posting on Instagram and TikTok every day this month, there have been plenty of ups and downs. There have been plenty of lessons. And there have been a handful of negative comments along the way.
I’m sharing one of those videos below because I think the message is one I have for just about every person I encounter: you may not feel great about our politics – but that should be a call to action in itself! Simply being disappointed isn’t enough. If you’re really serious about making things better, there is no substitute for action, and action means showing up.
This video is a simple reply to one of those commenters questioning a statement I made about my optimism based in the access we enjoy through our system. In it, I dive further into the “why” behind my optimism in the work that I do.
I have no fear about being dubbed a pollyanna. My goal is only to serve those who want to think about politics differently and change the world. That mission is worth a little shade from time to time.
Postscript: if you don’t follow me on Instagram (@luke_crumley) or TikTok (@luke_crumleyofficial) yet, I’d love to see you on those platforms!
