There are 27 days until the election closes and there are still people saying things along the lines of "wanting to maintain leverage on the Democrats by not voting". That's 27 days to tell people there wont be a democracy if they don't vote and no Democratic Party left to leverage against. Republicans want to end our democracy and jail their political opponents.

Since her outfit is white instead of black I don't think I would ever have noticed if it hadn't been pointed out to me. Nothing wrong with it though, it is mostly funny. XD

I'm not sure it is hyperbole.

This confused me as well so I googled it.

Who is the guy on the right marked for death?

edit: Is it supposed to be Scotty?

He's like Smokey Bear, but not centered on one specific topic. Cool. =)

blobcat, code In the year 2024, bands compete to the death for scrobbles.

I guess this answers my questions about what scrobbles are:

Believing in lies doesn't make them true. The Republicans are fascists who believe immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country and that the genes of people of color predispose them to be criminals. Just because Republicans believe it doesn't make it true.

The presidential election year before the Voting Rights Act of 1965 saw relatively high voter turnout. 61.4%

People voted in the Democratic Party candidate by a wide margin. 61.1%

If we protest, but then don't vote, nothing will change. So voting in records numbers is the answer. Specifically, in our present case, voting for the party that wants to improve things incrementally over fascists.

The left isn't anymore a political group than leaning-left is. Political parties have positions on the political spectrum, but positions on the political spectrum are not inherently political parties. What left political party are you referring to?
