Haven’t registered to vote?

You can find your registration website at This link:

The nonprofit I work for wants at least five people to fill out the form, so please give it a look if you haven’t registered yet.

I work for Action for the Climate Emergency btw.

These percentages are higher than I expected but still woefully low. I hope we beat them today.

Note that most of the states with the lowest participation are so-called "red states." The color of the map would look a lot different without the voter suppression in these states.

Key Players in the 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Elections

The 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections mark a crucial return to local democracy after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. Voter turnout has been significant, with historic participation from marginalized communities.

The 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election marks a crucial moment in the region’s political history. It signifies the first state-level election since the controversial abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. This landmark event stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its special status.

The Importance of Voting in Local Elections

While national elections tend to capture most of the attention, local elections are just as important—if not more so—when it comes to impacting your daily life. Whether it’s selecting a mayor, city council members, school board officials, or judges, these local leaders make decisions that directly affect how your community functions. Unfortunately, local elections often have much lower voter…

I am permanently stepping back from all delusional people (mostly extended family) in my life. I don’t want to debate with them, my energy is better spent elsewhere.

From this point forward I will counter anyone who makes a statement about this traitor’s great character, especially when it’s based on staged events any fool could see are for photo ops only. No way to polish this turd, nope not having it. 💩💩💩💩

OMG, I’m really disappointed with some of the folks, I never wanted to believe they were this stupid. I refuse to pretend it’s ok. Not a matter of politics at this point, it’s a chasm between polar opposite personal values and worldviews.

Time to unleash and amplify the energy from the dawning of the age of Aquarius. It’s real, y’all.

Hey fellow @ 3rd party\nonpartisan Americans,

It is intentional that the current status quo makes you feel uncomfortable to the point of silence; that allows big business to keep putting YOUR money where THEIR elected official's mouth is.

Demand Dems support Ranked Choice Voting in exchange for the vote.

Vote for Ranked Choice so you can vote honestly, not strategically.

But until then;

AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS; STATE GOVERNORS & LEGISLATURES

Implement Ranked-Choice Voting & Election Reforms For Vote Integrity

22 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I am writing to urge your immediate action on introducing and passing ranked-choice voting (RCV) and other vital election reforms at both the federal and state levels. As a concerned constituent and advocate for democratic principles, I believe that these reforms are essential to improving our electoral processes and ensuring fair and representative governance.

Ranked-choice voting has proven effective in promoting democratic outcomes by enabling voters to express their preferences more fully and ensuring that elected candidates enjoy broad support from the electorate. RCV mitigates wasted votes, reduces the spoiler effect, and fosters more inclusive and issue-focused campaigns.

In addition to advocating for ranked-choice voting, I strongly support comprehensive election reforms, including campaign finance reform, gerrymandering reform, and initiatives to enhance voter access and participation. These reforms are critical to strengthening our democracy and restoring trust in our electoral system.

The implementation of Ranked-Choice Voting is a crucial step towards enhancing our democratic process. RCV, which allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, ensures that elected officials have majority support, eliminates the spoiler effect, and encourages positive campaigning. This system is already in use in several U.S. cities and countries like Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. Alaska recently became the second state to adopt RCV for statewide offices, following Maine's lead. It is time to consider this reform at both federal and state levels to ensure our electoral systems reflect the diversity of our nation and empower all voices. Therefore, I urge you to introduce and support legislation that promotes RCV and other election reforms.

We must recognize that Americans are more than a two-party system. Let's take meaningful steps to ensure our electoral systems reflect the diversity of our nation and empower all voices.

Thank you for considering my perspective and taking decisive action to improve our electoral processes. I stand ready to support your efforts in advancing these important reforms.

The State of Voting in America 2024

What do you think about the current state of voting in America? Voting is the cornerstone of any democracy, serving as the primary means by which citizens influence government policy and leadership. In America, however, the state of voting is increasingly dire. Voter suppression, outdated infrastructure, and political resistance to reform are pervasive issues that threaten the integrity of the…

White Democrats really need to realize that they better be praying, hoping and wishing that Kamala Harris runs again because Black People aren’t going to back a white man in 2028. That’s just not going to be reality.

We are used to the bullshit but the limit is now here. So frankly, that’s another major reason why I don’t need to bother with the media. Kamala Harris did not lose by that much and it would be dumb as fuck if white Democrats think Black People are going to get behind whatever white candidate is comfortable for white Democrats to show up. Especially after how white Democrats treated Joe Biden

Oh and it’s always FUCK LEFTISTS. We could’ve had President Harris but since leftists are brats who don’t live in the real world; we have Trump.

Listen to Bernie. Bernie is right. There’s too much at stake to sit this one out. Vote to elect Kamala Harris and we can continue the conversation in 2025. The alternatives leave no path forward for helping Palestinians and bring severe repercussions for women in America. 💗💗💗💗
