Want a revolution? It’s easy: Vote in primaries, Election Day

When huge swaths of the American people don't vote, we cede outsize power to the people who actually do vote. When you are silent at the ballot box, the shouts of a small minority fill the void.

I’m talking about a revolution.

Not the kind that gets you tear-gassed in the streets of Hong Kong, tortured in a Syrian prison or guillotined in the Place de la Concorde.

All we have to do for this revolution is show up to vote, first in our primaries, and then Nov. 3.

All of us.

Easiest. Revolution. Ever.

This surge at the polls would indeed be a revolution because it’s a given that so many won’t show up on Election Day.
