  1. CW: USPol - to vote or not to vote...

    1/2

    So, the age old debate and my take on it.

    Those who don't vote, won't vote.

    Those who vote conservative, vote conservative whether it's a conservative republican or democrat.

    Those who vote progressive, often feel that they are forced to vote for conservatives (see above), which is accurate.

    Those who vote progressive also often feel like their vote doesn't matter or that elections don't solve anything.

    But elections are not supposed to be the only tool we possess to enact change. Elections and voting are one of several tools, and it will take us using every tool available just to be able to start to fix the damage being done.

    Replacing our current democratic representatives with progressives means they will likely be ready to make changes that moderates would fear to take on or even talk about. Changes that pragmatists would attack for being unrealistic.

  2. @digyoursoul yeah, right but what else is new. The #OrangeFelon has always run scams to simply enrich himself. It's just now on a much grander stage. Time to stop this was November 2024. Unfortunately, the #UnAmericanVoters, #WhiteNationalists, #ChristianNationalists, #MAGAts, #RuralVoters, #Billionaires, and #DumbAssNonVoters got him in power 😭 and no amount of regret is going to make this undone. Clearly, he will do whatever he can to steal the Midterms. Thus, all the good people of America need to band together get in the face of fascism, risk their lives and freedom, and remain peaceful no matter what violence they face like the Minnesotans did in the depth of last winter. #WeCanDoIt #StayStrong #HelpYourNeighbors #VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt #ForThePeople

  3. So many threats to Australian democracy.

    We need urgent reform and strengthening of democratic institutions.

    Neither major party is interested.

    Voters have a choice and a decision to make.

    American #DeathSquads’: Inside Trump’s Push to Make #Police More Violent

    Trump’s recent call for a “#ViolentDay” of policing is part of his plan to push cops to be as brutal as possible and shield them from accountability

    By Asawin Suebsaeng, Tim Dickinson

    "In the final weeks of his 2024 campaign to retake the White House, Trump is now explicitly running on a platform of encouraging domestic law enforcement to initiate — with an idea that drew immediate comparisons this week to the #dystopian-horror movie series, #ThePurge — 'one really violent day' of policing to put the fear of god into retail thieves."

  5. It’s coming back to me. That feeling of dread and constant anxiety that pervaded every day of the Trump Presidency. I feel it in my gut, the terror of not knowing what each day will bring when an ignorant madman controls the world. I’m feeling again. He could win. He cheats, and rules a cult of lemmings who do not realize the consequences of their vote. I’m starting to live in fear again, remembering what we endured. We may not survive this time. #Voteresponsibly #VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt

  6. Unsettling how far-right dictators holler ‘freedom’, ‘patriotism’, and ‘for the people’ while they slowly strip away all your rights right in front of your eyes. Like slowly boiling frogs. Like the #scotus is doing right now. Like #dictatordonald wants to do. Like is outlined in #Project2025. All you frogs out there see that, right?? RIGHT???

  7. @Mary625 @IveyJanette calling out evil is done to your fully elected local officials whom you must demand be accountable for their efforts in behalf of any position.

    This election is life or death for our democratic republic

    Keep it and we can change the EC, we can fix the Supreme Court.

    Lose it and ALL rights are gone if the dictatorship declares it

    Vote the whole ticket

  8. @Mary625 @IveyJanette you know what happens when enough Dems say "my vote does not count"?

    George Santos.

    I voted for the Dem then, but others stayed home.

    #EveryVoteMatters

    If you do not vote, and the margin of the total vote is closer, you allow the reTHUGs to claim fraud

    Or your local race goes to nutjobs

  9. Imagine voting thinking that covid isn’t a huge issue. Thinking covid is not causing long term health issues in the population. Or that long term we can just replace health care workers quickly when they have to leave. Or that it doesn’t cause brain damage. Or strokes. Or heart attacks. Or dementia.

    Or that climate change isn’t much of a problem. We can just move whole populations inland. And be clever about what we grow on less land. And cope with the cyclones.

    We’re not
    “heading toward” fascism;
    it’s here now.

    It just depends on your privilege when you notice.

    Yes, comes out to about 250 gallons/year or about 6,000 miles/year.
    Note that they insist on paying for public roads while simultaneously refusing to fund public transit, public health, public water, public air, public education, public justice, etc. What’s so special about roads?
