Sixty-seven million people watched the Presidential Debate last Tuesday, which is 15.8 million more than who watched the one with Biden. I was one of those 15.8 million. It did plenty to reinforce my sense of disillusionment with American politics. But, I am attempting to fight back against the pull to let this disillusionment slip into complacency. That is especially difficult now that the school year has started. However, these next couple of months will be some of the most consequential of our lives. The ramifications of the upcoming Presidential election could be immense. So I would like to urge you, as I am urging myself, to stay vigilant and engaged in this political moment. Change is going to come either way, and we have to shape it.
