Politics has been a part of what I do for many years now. I have been involved in North Carolina and national politics since 2004. It’s not enough though. In 2022 I need a dedicated space to write about politics and democracy, including history and current events. I will write to connect with you, dear readers, and to find my own voice. Welcome to “Democracy OTL.”
I thought of OTL as “on the line” but it also means “out to lunch” or “one true love.” That covers a wide range of possible outcomes in the next year. OTL even means an expression of extreme sadness and that is obviously the outcome we need to work hard to avoid.
I am a Democrat through and through. In 2022 I want to see Democrats speak up, stand up and fight for what we want and need. I will add my voice to that effort here, protecting our one true love, on the line American democracy.
