#alli says shit#u.s. politics#it makes me a lil sick tbh#like as a black woman the right to vote is not smth i take lightly#my mom often recounts a story of my grandma making sure my uncle voted when he was 18#n i remember that within that uncle's lifetime the fucking voting rights act was passed#like actually voting in african american history does have an interesting story but that's not the point#but my point is IF REPUBLICANS DON'T WANT U TO VOTE THIS IS WHY#to me the only reason trump was also able to win the popular vote was voter turnout#i don't know if this is fact don't @ me but#jesus christ#i don't wantr ANYONE trying to tell me why they still think they're morally superior for not voting#u knew the threat and ignored it
