I'm thinking of dinnertime at our house in Michigan.
When the dog is barking and the air fryer is beeping and the mac and cheese is boiling over and it feels like all the political negotiating experience in the world is not enough for me to get our three-year-old son and our three-year-old daughter to just wash their hands and sit at the table.
It's the part of our day when politics seems the most distant.
And yet the makeup of our kitchen table, the existence of my family, is just one example of something that was literally impossible as recently as 25 years ago when an anxious teenager growing up in Indiana wondered if he would ever find belonging in this world.
This kind of life went from impossible to possible, from possible to real, from real to almost ordinary in less than half a lifetime.
But that didn't just happen.
It was brought about through idealism and courage, through organizing and persuasion and storytelling, and yes, through politics, the right kind of politics, the kind of politics that can make an impossible dream into an everyday reality.
I don't presume to know what it's like in your kitchen, but I know, as sure as I am standing here, that everything in it
the bills you pay at that table, the shape of the family that sits there, the fears and the dreams that you talk about late into the night there, all of it compels us to demand more from our politics than a rerun of some TV wrestling deathmatch.
So this November, we get to choose.
We get to choose our president.
We get to choose our policies.
But most of all, we will choose a better politics, a politics that calls us to our better selves and offers us a better every day.
That is what Kamala Harris and Tim Walz represents.
That is what Democrats represent.
That is what awaits us when America decides to end Trump's politics of darkness once and for all.
That is what we choose when we embrace the leaders who are out there building bridges and reject the ones who are out there banning books.
This is what we will work for every day to November and beyond.
So let's go win this.
Thank you, Democrats.
