It’s election day, and I’ll be wrapping up this series with the #1 reason why I vote a progressive ticket–because “progressivism” is the collective movement of humans coming together to fight for an inclusive and equitable society.
It is the right thing to do for the bigger picture–for our future, for our children’s future, and the best thing for the lives of all citizens of this world.
As I discuss in the video, this quote from Thomas Jefferson is such a great argument for progressivism in government:
“Laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.”
