#voting is your right and responsibility

[lemonbombsfjl]

I’m watching The Suffragettes on BritBox US. It focuses on the UK, but the story parallels history in the US.

Women suffered beatings, prison, even death for women’s right to vote. They should not have their sacrifices be in vain. VOTE!

VOTE, vote all elections, vote for liberal candidates. Without liberals in government, women today would not have the vote.

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.

A number of states are in the news for illegally removing names from voter rolls. A key issue is removing names within 90 days of the election.

Just as a reminder, vote.org allows voters to check their registration status as well as to check their polling place.

It might be worth checking your status if you have not yet voted.

Also, we are now past the US Postal Service’s recommended deadline for mailing ballots for pre-election day delivery. It is now recommended to hand deliver completed ballots if your state requires that ballots be received on / before election day.

I keep telling mr k all the scorched earth fb status I want to post but won’t. My current favorite is:

I wanna say you’re all dumb as hell but I think most of you are just hateful.

Honorable mention to: Always heard “money isn’t everything” and that’s obviously a lie for most of you when you're willing to sell out your friends and neighbors for *checks notes* egg prices.

also told my mom that we have no obligation to be nice to our family that voted for tr*mp because we as a country have obviously decided that kindness and respect don't matter.

No one is responsible for this election besides white people and implying otherwise is reductive, racist and frankly going to do nothing except for weaken community and coalition building we have desperately needed for decades if not centuries. Cause the reality is white supremacy created Trump. White people voted en masse for him. It wasn't latines, or Black men, or Arabs, or the Free Palestine movement. It will always rest squarely on the shoulders of whiteness as a individual identity and as a superstructure.

Stop fighting each other. Start fighting FOR each other. It will never ever be the fault of racialized people and anti-racists. Ever.

Having opened social media I think I’m going to close it for the day holy shit

[cuckweeds]

if you think you are morally responsible for Trump's actions if you do not vote against him then why do you not think you are morally responsible for Bidens actions if you do actually vote for him?

every time i see a liberal try and browbeat someone who rightfully expresses withholding their vote from a party that is currently financially, politically, and rhetorically supporting an actual genocide by screaming 'UHHH PROJECT 2025???'

i'm just like...

ok so where is the democrat party's project 2025 then?

'vote for us without caveat or demand -- brush aside state-sponsored genocide under democrat power -- bc the other side has a clear and itemized plan to enact their ideology' ok and where's yours, oh great protectors of the oppressed?

or would you then be forced to admit that you don't have one because sop for the dems for decades is to to scold votes based on 'harm reduction' while standing for absolutely nothing.

I have to admit that it has been WILD to see what comes out of the contingent of people who have decided to put all their eggs in the electoral basket as they seek to explain their logic to others. I keep seeing statements in these posts that I am absolutely sure people are just saying without recognizing the implications because they're scared but my god

i do not talk about politics online for a variety of reasons, top amongst them being that i think the most effective way to make an impact on someone's views is to have a one-on-one conversation with them. And i am personally most well versed in local politics because living in a conservative area means that i am fighting an uphill battle both ways trying to convince someone that actually the more liberal candidate is the one who is advocating for policies that will positively effect you, i promise, and i have to have specific instances i can cite as proof for these conversations to be really meaningful. but because of this specific way i engage with politics, sometimes i see posts on this webbed site that makes me go "why are you even talking. what are you aiming for. what do you Want."

The funding to Israel will continue regardless of if Trump or Biden is in charge. That is not something we have the power to change by voting. What we can change is everything else. Do not let your ideological purity kill your fellow leftist.

you people are not leftists holy shit

“It’s ok when brown people and immigrants die but when things start to look scary for us white usamerican liberals then we all need to organize!”

Kamala Harris has made it clear what's at stake in this election. While Trump hides and plots revenge, 𝐬𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐩 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬. We deserve a President who is focused on our future, not personal vendettas.

I heard a report that said the large number of early voters should be a good sign for supporters of democratic candidates, however the AP is reporting that Trump supporters are "early voting" in record numbers. Don't trust someone else to do the job for you -- vote!

Welp! Hung out with our longtime former ED at an event and it turns out I'm holding a grudge, maybe forever. Shit may be exponentially more fucked up now and I do not hold her responsible for the actions of others but also like, get the fuck off that high horse

you gave that man an engraved invitation into this house

[usergrantaire]

i don’t know how to explain to americans that they should also care about foreign policy
