Don’t scab for the bosses,
don’t listen to their lies,
Us poor folk haven’t got a chance unless we organize.
My grandpa’s name was Larry. I had always assumed it was short for Lawrence. I just found out recently like 8 years after he died that it wasn’t even short for that. Apparently my illiterate great grandparents wanted to name him Larrington (which I’m 90% sure isn’t even a first name in the lexicon). Apparently my great grandmother wanted him to grow up to be Larrington the Lawyer. My guess is that was a name of a local law firm she had heard of something because it definitely sounds like a surname that you would hear on a law office advert, (i.e. call Larrington and Mitchell). Turns out they couldn’t spell Larrington and just decided to name him Larry for short. So his fucking birth certificate has a nickname on it for a name he wasn’t even born as. My mind was fucking blown hearing this.
I do worry that the “silent majority” (aka closet racists and misogynists) could fuck up the election. I said it on debate night that I worried people would run Biden off for that debate; they’ll be forced to run Kamala and the Dems lose because some people don’t want to vote a mixed race woman.
Having said that, she appears to be winning in the polls, and I hope it stays that way on election day. Long way to go though.
