Posted by a friend on Facebook, attributed in one Tumblr post to Emily Holmes (the Canadian actor in Snakes on a Plane? Or another?) Anybody know the original source so I can credit it? I don’t want to further the invisibility meme wonderfully embodied here.
If you get inspired, please join me in donating, getting out the vote, or otherwise making a difference at this critical time. Use the poll and comments to share why you know it matters. Persist!

Scene: A political conversation between progressive activists.
A Democratic Presidential Candidate lurks nearby...
Dem 1: Man, I like Bernie's progressive platform, but people are going to get driven away by the "socialist" label.
E Warren: *waves enthusiastically*
Dem 2: Yeah, it's hard to imagine white suburban soccer moms voting for Bernie, especially in the Midwest…
E Warren: Hi! I'm literally a former white suburban soccer mom! I've still got the minivan!
(I couldn’t find a picture of her minivan, so here’s her on Van Halen)
Dem 2: And Buttigieg is so smart-- like ridiculously smart... but too centrist for me.
E Warren:
*stares in Harvard Law professor*
Dem 1: I worry about voting for Bloomberg. He does great ads, but he's got all those serious issues around race I don't think I can get past.
E Warren:
*holds up first place ranking on the 2020 Racial Justice Presidential Candidate Scorecard*
Dem 2: And have you heard some of the shit he's said about women? Why can't we have a candidate that respects women?
E Warren:
*stares in woman*
Dem 1: Ah, I just don't know who to vote for. Biden? It kind of feels like he's too moderate, but I like that he has experience in the Senate.
E Warren:
*polishes "Senator" name tag*
Dem 2: I dunno. Amy Klobuchar is definitely a tough woman, and it would be nice to see a woman in the White House, but I think she's too moderate for me.
E. Warren:
*high fives Klobuchar, because GO GIRL, proceeds to check if she is, in fact, invisible.
Dem 1: I just don't know. If feels like we don't have a clear best choice.
E. Warren:
*looks down at dog Bailey*
You can see me, right?
Bailey: Woof!
E. Warren: Good boy.
*smiles for five millionth selfie.*
Since this was inspired by a comment from the Warren group here on dkos, I’ll share it here:
