Lots of people here frame this as a Biden and Harris policy. While the Senate is evenly split between parties, the House is majority Republican. Congress is where this money is allocated. And Trump is rabidly anti-Muslim. But sure, frame aid as Biden and Harris only. Never mind what will happen once Trump wins the election.

Not every “red state” has enough blue people in it to flip, but voter turnout is absolutely the issue in most states. You wanna vote third party and feel connected to some little clique, fine. But don’t expect the Democrats, or the country, to ever change for you. Make your vote valuable.

You wanna change the Democratic Party? Maybe vote more than once every four years. State and local elections have garbage turnouts and this is where right wingers shore up their power (because they ALWATS vote). You need to vote every election, always. You want left leaning Democrats in office? Their careers start small, at the local and state level. Vote for them there and support them as they gain experience and reputation.

But this griping about the electoral process and lack of choices in a national election is just lazy bullsh*t. Yes, a vote for anyone other than Harris is a vote for Trump at this point.

“Undecided” = Trump supporter who’s too much of a wuss to admit it.

It’s mind boggling how hateful and utterly stoopid Trump and MAGA are, and yet half the country seems just fine with allowing us to slide full bore into authoritarianism.

If you don’t want this to happen, you need to vote. You need to get your friends to vote. There’s no excuse not to vote, none.

Don’t forget to vote third party or not at all because the Democrats aren’t perfect or because electoral college or voting day is a Tuesday…. s/

Trump absolutely loses his shit when he loses the popular vote, even when he won the electoral vote. So the meme isn’t “wrong”. Just f’ing vote.

Is this the narrative for 2024, to dismiss voting because the Electoral College goes by in-state popular vote instead of a national popular vote?

 

Americans please vote this time

Everyone needs to vote to cover “the margin of shenanigans” that undoubtedly will arise in swing states and to ensure a popular vote so high that a certain crybully will cry harder.
