🐻🦅 I grew up in DC, I grew up surrounded by politics. I marched in rallies, I volunteered for campaigns, I attended inaugurations, I watched fireworks on the National Mall
I learned the importance of public service, how democracy only works, if the best people run for office
politics has many negative aspects, but as dark as it can get, it is always infinitely brighter, in all the good that you can do, in service of our country
