Spotify seems to have laid off the “maybe this girl needs to listen to Taylor Swift and Chappell Roan for secret spotify reasons” song recommendations lately and it recommended me a bluegrass band singing about organized labor in the northeast which then led me to their songs featuring North Carolina so it’s nice that the music recommendations make more sense now

No witchy Wednesday this week. Life decided NO.

doing math on voter turnout is making me twitch with fervent hopeless hope bc like

there are now 2.7 million registered voters in harris county, which had a turnout of 66% and went to biden by 56% in 2020

if kamala matches those percentages now, that will account for just shy of a million votes -- more than 300k raw votes more than in 2020

...when trump won texas by around 600k votes

and that's matching those figures -- if turnout is higher, if her margin is higher, that eats sharply away at that margin even more

i'm just... there's a reason she came to houston less than ten days before election day and it wasn't to see the astros

European here. You're right that America was home to multiple cultures spread over a vast area that couldn't be divided by state lines. True. Then you colonizing fuckers exterminated them. Then you invaded Mexico. Nothing you say carries weight. Hope this helps 🙏🏽💞

I'll only ask you who it benefits to perpetuate the convenient lie that indigenous people are all dead. Especially considering that indigenous people still are still living under the systems that enabled (and are still enabling) their genocide.

The idea that next generation of the Knight-Doberman conglomerate becomes 80% women… tickles my fancy.

All the people online going 'any criticism of Democrats must mean you want Trump to win' and lecturing people in Listen Up Chucklefuck tones to 'just VOTE' and 'don't you DARE not vote!' have never done GOTV canvassing, voter registration, or education on voter's rights, nor read anything about the disenfranchisement of largely marginalized populations in the US by things like voter roll scrubs, gerrymandering, etc. before and it shows in what they think is an acceptable way to talk to people.

I am absolutely not advocating for them to start canvassing, barring an effective and lasting intervention to fix how they talk to other people, because at best they'd convince a bunch of people not to vote. But it's like, you think yelling at people online all day is a good use of your time because voting is allegedly so important to you, but then you do absolutely nothing in the way of non-condescending voter education, empowerment, or outreach? Maybe you'd be less angry if you logged off, took a deep breath, and signed up to get volunteer deputy voter registrar certified or to work at a polling place. Or got connected to an organization working to expand voter accessibility and prevent voter intimidation/disenfranchisement.

It's easier to just yell at people online and assume that anyone expressing discouragement about something that's easy for you to ~just go do~ is a do-nothing, I know. But wouldn't it feel better to do something helpful for a change?

Putting some positivity out there about the election

Harris has raised a record amount of money from small donors after Biden dropped out, in addition to being able to access all the funds from their campaign they already had

Trump is deeply unpopular and people have already seen the chaos that 4 years of his presidency would bring. A lot of people have been energized to vote against him, even if they're not fond of Dems

Polling showed a red wave for Republicans in the 2022 midterms, and yet they only barely had control of the House, and couldn't even agree on a Speaker for a historic amount of time. Dems also increased their lead in the Senate. Historically, midterms favor the opposition party and have lower turnout, so this is a good sign for the House in 2024

Dems are fighting back in swing states. PA and GA both put in Democratic senators in the midterms

In my home state of PA, I am from Bucks County, which is a swing county for the state. Moms for Libery took over the school board and used it to attack queer students, enact book bans, and funnel money to themselves and the superintendent. At the most recent election, Dems turned out and took back every single open seat, ousting the board and superintendent. Worry about similar takeovers in surrounding school boards also increased turnout

Abortion rights are on the ballot in many states, which has been a winning issue for Dems and increased turnout

Republicans were prepared to attack a feeble old Biden who isn't the strongest speaker. I don't think they expected him to actually drop out, and they now have to put an 78 year old convicted felon up against a prosecutor

Awareness of Project 2025 and it's contents has entered the public sphere and is being much more openly discussed on the news. While Trump has insisted he has nothing to do with it, most of the authors worked in his administration and Trump has worked closely with the Heritage foundation

Feel free to add more things on this thread, but the most important thing is to get out there and VOTE

Vote for President

Vote for Senators

Vote for Congresspeople

Vote in your local elections
