"They have to do that stuff first to earn my vote! I don't care if they never had the power to do so!"

-Morons

Decisions are made by those who show up, it’s as simple as that.

You may hate it, but the Republicans are definitely better at getting people in line, both literally and figuratively. They turn up and vote even if they don’t like the candidate because… that’s their party. And it’s the only one that they feel represents them.

Meanwhile a lot of Democrats stay home because the candidate isn’t the one they wanted, doesn’t support everything they want, is too old/young, etc. There’s this attitude of ‘if I can’t have my perfect candidate, I’m staying home out of protest.’

I get it. Every voter wants a perfect candidate. But perfect is the enemy of good, as the saying goes.

I always look at it like this: if I vote, I might not always get the outcome that I want, but at the very least I’m nullifying the vote of a person on the other side.

If the other guy shows up and you don’t? That’s how you lose rights.

Be someone who shows the fuck up.

Don’t believe the naysayers. No matter which state you are in, your vote is important. Extreme Conservatives have been taking over school boards and imposing their agenda on kids.

Offices like Sheriff, Coroner, Secretary of State, Lt Governor, State Representatives, City and County Councils etc. are all important.

Every Vote Counts!!!!!

Edit: Many important local races will be decided by less votes than updoots I received for this comment.

force fed the bible.

Dude...I was talking to my 5yo today. They've learned the pledge of allegiance in kindergarten.

He recited it, perfectly, verbatim.

I cringed slightly at the "under God" part, as I'm a devout atheist (though we've barely mentioned religion at all to the kids).

Once he was done I asked him if he knows what any of it means.

"No. But I can say the whole thing!"

Smh.

Every time the Dems lose, they go to the center to find voters. Want them to stop going to the center? Then give them overwhelming and consistent victories.

If you think you can change their platform by not voting or voting 3rd party, you're dead wrong. They will just go to the center voter even more. This is not a Mexican standoff that you can win, because they have an out which is worth double (a center voter is both a vote for them and vote taken away from the other party).

God, I hate fighting people just to get them to vote in a way that makes mathematic and strategic sense.

I'm voting Democrat like I always do. I remember being the only non-right wing senior citizen looking person at my polling place for Hilary Clinton when no one showed up. Not with any hope, just so I can say I voted against gleeful hatred.

I'm just pissed that I will never, ever get a vote against market capitalism, as it controls both parties on economic policy and we only get a vote on how to manage the social issue symptoms it causes.

Okay but voting is a group project and everyone I’m partnered with is ignorant and short-sighted.

This thread is a shitshow.

American democracy ends in a month if things go poorly. It's done, over, gone. A Mein Kampf reader will no longer have any restraints, no adults at the table to say "no, that's wrong" if he wins again.

DEMOCRACY. WILL. BE. OVER.

Bitch, whine, fuck you bringing this up in thread last 30 days, I live here. So do my fucking friends and family. I don't want to see them or I put in camps to be "deported" for having the wrong skin color, lover, gender, or religion/lack thereof.

Fuck you, vote.

Early voted today in AZ. Straight blue! I was the first person in line in my county in one of the 3 precincts opening early today. 💪

Which is why Reps are the ones constantly vying for various "voter security" measures (voter suppression).

Vote like your life depends on it. Because it does.

kids are force fed the bible

Well that can't be true
Republicans are strongly against feeding children after all

I remember when dems had the presidency and both houses and did nothing stated here.

These new Star Wars films are wild.
