Every form of #democracy eventually fails because #voters don’t want to put effort into paying attention to where things are going, and taking action before it’s too late.
“It can’t be as bad as all that.”
“Meh, all politicians are corrupt.”
“My vote doesn’t count for much.”
“It’s too hard to learn about the issues.”
“My news tells me everything is fine.”
“Enough other people vote to fix the problems.”
“I was busy that day.”
“Was there an election? I didn’t notice.”Pay attention, and vote.

CW: USPol / US politics
So six Democratic congresscritters crossed the aisle to pass the latest defence spending bill - not that unusual, given their swing districts and being up for election - but they did so with the "SAVE" act attached to it.
Apparently, they have all the self-preservation instinct of the mythical #lemmings from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Fabrication. Because the entire point of the #SAVE act is to disenfranchise as many Democratic-leaning voters as possible. This isn't speculation; it's easy to read in the measures that it calls for, but more than that, #Trump has explicitly described it that way over the last few months.
The #Democrats frequently do not need the #GOP to ratf*ck them [1]; as here, they're quite capable of doing it to themselves.
Everyone who cares about preserving #US democracy, such as it is, needs to yell at their #senators to ensure this monstrosity doesn't pass in the Senate. There's been lots of talk of it not having the votes there, but that was said about other things that (eventually) got passed as well.
[1] Don't blame me for the language. A US president brought the term into wide use.

#California #Voters, mail your ballots at least a week before the June 2 #election.
Do not listen to #VoterSuppression #disinfo that tells you to "wait and see." Time to wait is over, vote now or #USPS might not deliver your ballot in time to be counted.

Hillary IS forever winner! 🏆🕶️🏆 She TOLD #VOTERS. All roads lead to #Russia. She predicted #Dobbs. I’m aware of her faults. Treason was a BETTER choice for voters than electing a woman. This world would be a far better place had #women, specifically this woman, been our #President. 😎 Queen cool.

The Morning: Democrats’ big night – The New York Times
By Sam SiftonGood morning. Last night was a big one for Democrats.
From left, Mikie Sherrill, Zohran Mamdani and Abigail Spanberger.A rebuke
Zohran Mamdani, 34, will be the next mayor of New York City, the youngest in more than a century. The democratic socialist will also be the city’s first Muslim mayor. Abigail Spanberger will be Virginia’s first female governor. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill cruised to victory in a governor’s race that polls had projected would be neck and neck.
And in California, voters passed a ballot measure to redraw the state’s maps in Democrats’ favor, which is likely to yield as many as five House seats for the party next year.
Turnout was extraordinary: The New York mayor’s race drew more than two million voters, almost double the 1.1 million people who voted for mayor four years ago. The New Jersey governor’s race topped three million votes for the first time.
As my colleague Lisa Lerer wrote, the results showed that Democrats — beaten soundly in all seven presidential battleground states just a year ago, losing control of the Senate and failing to win the House — can still accomplish the most important goal in politics: “They can win. And win big.”
The results amounted to a loud rebuke of President Trump’s first year back in office. A year ago, he won the White House on promises to fix the economy. Yesterday, his party’s losses showed the high political price that a party in power can pay when voters are still feeling squeezed.

#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess
The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to voteBy Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.
"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.
"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.
" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."Read more:

the pridefully #ignorant ones will endlessly blame shift away from their own #entitled #privileged indolence
the question is do they outnumber the ones who can have their eyes opened via the suffering they bring onto us by not #voting/ voting for #bigoted #plutocrat #malice
some have the bare minimum of heart to go "i was wrong"
if they are not enough? too late?
then we are truly fucked

That #Vance speech in #Europe is planting the seeds to support #Russia against the EU. The #US will almost certainly support any further Russian aggression. They will claim that Europe is overrun with #undemocratic #socialist regimes. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually supply troops for Russia to fight against Europe. I hope EU leaders AND #voters understand how dire and volatile the situation has become.

What #Katie #Britt’s misleading, melodramatic speech revealed about the Republican Party
The question for the #evangelical #voters who make up much of the Republican base is
-- how much more politics can #outweigh #morals in the name of whatever conservatism even means anymore?Politico reported Monday that an evangelical group is 🔸spending north of $60 million🔸 to get a twice-impeached, repeatedly indicted former president back in the White House,
so perhaps that is our answer.The whole “moral majority” movement in conservative politics always involved #theatrics and #cosplay.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene took it to a new level by deploying Hunter Biden’s sexting photos during a House committee hearing.
And now the future of the Republican Party is sitting in a kitchen purporting to speak honestly with voters of faith while telling a lurid lie for political purposes.
