I'm also seeing a lot of blame being pushed around in #OH12 re: third party votes. I'm not a fan of third party voters; I think they're inherently selfish.

When we see a close race like #OH12 - which, bear in mind, hasn't been called yet - the response shouldn't be to blame others for not taking it across the finish line.
It should be to ask what we, as individuals, can do to take it across the finish line next time around.

Each of us have a role to play, whether it's making sure our immediate spheres of influence are registered to vote (iwillvote.org should be bookmarked) or talking friends out of third-party votes.
Our concentric circles of influence can absolutely have an impact.

If there's one thing I really hope we all learn from the hellscape that is the Trump Administration, and each successive election, it's that we individually have a huge impact on how the direction of this country will go.
Don't wait for others to do the work. Pitch in yourself.

If - and we don't know that, YET - O'Connor loses tonight, then you have three more months to help him win in November. What are you going to do? How will you jump in?
