This is not capitalism where candidates want as many votes as possible, this is a small private shop where the candidates only want the people who are already going to vote to vote for them. Hypothetical/potential votes don’t matter. Also, even though polls have closed in California, if you’re in line, STAY THERE! You DO have the right to vote no matter what time it is when you finally get inside.

So there's something I want to say re: intentionally withholding your vote, and I want to do it without coming across as condescending or dismissive.

I've worked as a field organizer in two campaigns, 2010 and 2012, and my job was to help turnout the vote for Democratic candidates up and down the ticket. Technology may have changed, but people are still knocking on doors for specific voters the way they were 12 years ago.

If you say you're not voting/voting 3rd party, the campaign volunteer is supposed to mark that and move on. Their job, in the final month of the election, is to make sure the campaign's supporters have all the information and resources they need to cast a vote.

They aren't collecting data on why you're withholding your vote. They aren't submitting opinion polling results to the campaign. Something like 155 million people voted in the 2020 election, and if you say you're not voting, the campaign is not going to waste a volunteer's time and morale begging you to vote when there are literally millions of other voters to turn out.

Let me repeat that: The campaign does not track why you're not voting. They simply note your vote is not a priority for turnout and move on.

I say this because I see a lot of promotion of non-voting like that's a boycott, when the function is not the same. A boycott is a coordinated mass refusal to engage with an institution—which sounds similar if you see a vote as a good or service to withhold. Unfortunately, it's not.

A vote is a choice you're making as part of a community hiring committee. Your abstention doesn't prevent someone from being hired. It just lowers the threshold for the worst candidate to succeed.

All this to say: In my direct experience as an organizer, abstaining from the vote sends a message. That message is not "You need to try harder to win my vote." It's "Don't waste time on me."

It’s no wonder JD “Jorkin Depeanus” Vance has a negative rating in his home region. He launched himself into the national conscious by taking a giant dump on them. A jetpack dump. A TF2 Soldier rocket jump dump.

Oh, damn... I just noticed, when I removed that Trump sticker from this bathroom wall a while back, that I missed a spot.

Polls are open in California!

Report any intimidation you experience to the local election official on site, and call one of these numbers:

866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683)

Spanish/English: 888-VE-Y-VOTA (NALEO Educational Fund)

Arabic/English: 844-YALLA-US (Arab American Institute/AAI)

Asian Languages/English: 888-API-VOTE (APIAVote & Asian Americans Advancing Justice/AAJC)

There are also state hotlines. Call both if you can. Most importantly, do not let anyone trying to intimidate you do so. Do not let it prevent you from voting.

Remember, if you’re in line by 8PM, you are allowed to vote regardless of when you actually reach the front of the vote centre.

Taking a break from working at the vote center (in California), if you have any questions about any part of the election process, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Thank you for your service, President Biden. You have done so much for the American people.

Donald did nothing but drive us to the bottom.

If you believe in America’s future and want an honorable leader, you KNOW it’s time to vote Kamala Harris for President this November!

I came up with the best idea to vandalize trump signs but a little too late for me, so here's to anyone who wants it.

1 - Drop the spray paint, it's too loud, inefficient, and hard to get if you're a minor. Get yourself a bottle of cheap craft paint.

2 - Get some scotch bright (or store brand) dish sponges with the scratchy layer on top and a couple of ziplock baggies. You need two, for the sake of speed and being able to cover both sides, if not, you risk getting caught and the owner being able to just turn it around. Consider wearing gloves if you can, and take them off as soon as you're done

3 - Before you go out, douse the sponges in paint and put them in the baggies, it saves having to lug the bottle around.

4 - No matter what you do, make sure to wear the same kind if clothes you would wear to a protest. Unidentifiable and something you don't plan on wearing for a *while*, and take a path you usually wouldn't take but make sure it's fast.

5 - As quickly and quietly as you can, scrub both sides of the signs like you would dishes, but make sure you squeeze out as much paint as possible.

6 - Take the gloves off, and put them in the baggies with the sponges.

7 - Either book it or walk if you don't seem that sus, depends on the situation, just be quiet.

8 - Done! You fucked up a trump sign

Wow, so i’ve just awakened a minute ago. And of course i’m thinking of politics. And about how my family and even my coworker, who for some some damn reason, are trump supporters. Honestly i forget this info sometimes. Not about my family, but about my coworker. Because she seems cool... and she’s also gay. But myself and a few other coworkers are anti-Trump and try to sway her. She responds by saying things like “well Trump doesn’t even take his presidential salary, he donates it to the military.” As if that somehow makes up for every fucking atrocious, and or hate motivated thing he has done. NO. it is sickening that the man is so filthy fucking rich (key word filthy) that he can AFFORD to give all his salary to the military. JFC. Honestly, there are soo many more charities, and groups of people in need who could use some of that money... fuck. But of course the majority of them would be minorities, so trump wouldn’t even bat an eye at that. The sexist, racist, narcissist knows his demographic, and knows exactly how to manipulate them into thinking he’s doing good by the country. And some of them if not all, are also racist, & sexist, etc. even if they won’t fucking admit it to themselves. They are, just by fucking supporting the oompa loompa. i know it’s been said (albeit in much more succinct words), but IF you are female, gay, trans, non-white, disabled, Trump AND his followers are fucking against you. You can’t pick and choose in this situation... you are either fucking with us, or you are against us. And being a minority doesn’t make it OK for you to support him. Its actually even worse, if you ask me. 🤦🏻‍♀️ i’m tired... my family chooses the side of the oppressor, of the conman, of the racist bigot. and... there’s nothing i can do about it. So the fact that the impeachment has to go through the (Rep.dominant) senate... just infuriates me more. I can already hear certain family members jeering if Trump stays in office... “ you fucking liberals tried to impeach him, but he’s here to stay! Trump 2020!” (mainly can hear my sister in law say that, i’m just so glad i don’t live under the same roof as her anymore.)

Today in posts I did not expect to bring back.

I know we all hate Donald Trump's guts but we gotta understand that turning him into a martyr would solve absolutely nothing. This little nick on his ear is going to get Republicans fired up like hell as it is, and we're going to have to work all the harder to keep his ass out of office again.
