Four Minutes With On The Dot

When Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was interviewed by New York magazine in 2017, many readers were flabbergasted by her real-talk candor. She’s been an outspoken female politician, inspiring women and girls to speak up for what they believe is right. To me, she took down the convoluted image of politics, simply stating what it means to be elected to office: “We’re here to help people, and if we’re not helping people, we should go the [bleep] home.” She also empowers voters to employ a simple principle when choosing which politicians to vote for: “If they suck,” she says, vote against them; “if they’re worthy,” vote for them. It doesn’t get any more straightforward than that. Today, we’re pulling a Gillibrand move and suppressing the fear behind politics.
