Despite all the doom scrolling, Harris has a comfortable lead in the electoral college right now.
The time for vibing is over. It’s too late to change anyone’s opinions (especially because national level events like debates are over). Harris will finish her Media Blitz soon (including a Fox News showing) while Trump retreats into his shell hoping no one notices how damn stupid his mouth is.
This is the time for doing. The focus should be on voter drives and other get out the vote pushes. It’s mid October, and the October surprises are against Trump and in our favor.
It’s not the lead we wanted but it’s a lead nonetheless. Don’t talk yourself out of believing this lead because of a bad poll or two.
She will only win if you vote. Do not say “she’s got this, I’ll skip it.” Do not say “I can’t bring myself to vote for her.” Do not say “something something genocide.” Vote. For. Her.
Because if you don’t, he will win. And you’ll still get the genocide, plus so much other even worse shit.
She doesn’t “got this.” The election is too close for logic or comfort.
Do not say “I can’t bring myself to vote for her.” Do not say “something something genocide.” Vote. For. Her.
This… Did not work last time.
Yes it did. I swallowed my pride and voted for Biden. He won. trump was out. Now we have to keep him out.
Last time was Clinton, not Biden. Biden was a completely different situation.
How was last time Clinton? Does Biden not count as a president? You know he won an election and became president right
Harris is way better but we chose her even less than we chose Hillary Clinton. Simply telling people to hold their noses wasn’t as effective as Biden’s campaign.
Except Harris isn’t cringe
Bruh we’re saying “something something genocide”.
That was 2016, “last time” was 2020.
You have a stroke or somethin’?
2020 had Trump as an incumbent, and while people were anxious about Biden’s age nobody was “holding their nose” to vote for him. He was viewed as a less than perfect option that would nevertheless bring normalcy back to the White House as a vanilla corporate Democrat president. That is not, in any way, comparable to the current situation where he’s the incumbent and despised by critical demographics for multiple failed policies whose successor explicitly states she’ll carry over. The last time Democrats had to go around saying “hold your nose and vote blue no matter who” was, indeed, 2016.
So… not voting for her will work better?
I can’t vote anymore… I already did!
“playing by the rules? That’s why dems lose!!!”- some ass.
I’ve decided not to vote at all in this US election. I know my vote won’t do anything on account of being Canadian.
Fair enough, I’m a US/Canadian dualie… our struggle is still coming up. Let’s hope we can keep PP out of Ottawa.
Fuck, I can only hope. People seem to hate Trudeau so much there’s a serious risk of Milhouse winning.
I’m registered and raring to go. I even have the day off, so I’m going. (I’ve voted in every single election)
Don’t vote? Then you don’t get to complain or criticize.
(I’ve voted in every single election)
How old are you??
About 300 years old it seems
Lol my b, in my 30s, so the last 3
You know what they say, “Vote early. Vote often.”
But like, actually do. Because there are a shitload of elections and state + local really matters too.
The fascists must be defeated at every level. It’s like treating cancer. The problem is not over before it’s all gone. And even then there’s a risk of it returning.
Yep. Virginia has it’s statewide position elections on the odd years. So it’s congressional and governor elections tend to have fewer people vote. However, the Dems have gotten wise and have managed to turn out more during these elections.
Early voting starts next week for me… I guess my state is just later than all of yalls…
Well I vote by mail and live abroad - my ballot needed time to get to me and then get back to my city clerk.
Take action today! If nothing else it will help with anxiety
Make sure to register to vote. Deadlines are fast approaching in many states
Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you and online
Write letters to voters in swing states or in competitive downballot races
I will only be comfortable after she’s inaugurated.
I see someone learned from 2000
