Absolutely nobody ITT is going to vote for Trump. People criticizing Warren's policies now are still going to vote for her if she wins the primary. It would be cool if people could stop acting like they won't.

But yeah, the primaries are still running and now is the time to call out Warren (and everyone else).

Second best is still a loser. That's why I am writing in "Karl Marx" instead of voting for Bernie.

Nope! I live in a solid red state so my vote doesn't matter, so I can vote my conscience anyway.

Bernie is already my compromise candidate, he's the only person I see even being able to tolerate pulling the lever for.

The reason it's solid red is because Republicans have succeeded in their propaganda game of convincing you that your vote doesn't count. Throwing your vote away is giving them the win.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says a man was shot to death at a Waffle House after calling other patrons racist slurs and starting a fight.

The GBI says Butts County deputies responded Halloween night to three 911 calls that were minutes apart. The first reported an angry customer, the second reported a fight and a third reported shots had been fired.

Responding deputies found 27-year-old Nicholas Phinazee Bryan mortally wounded. An investigation determined that Bryan “was using racial slurs” toward 36-year-old Robert Lewis Henderson Jr. and 39-year-old Antonio DeMarty Evans. Waffle House staff told Bryan to leave. Then their argument became physical. Police say Henderson fired a single shot at Bryan, who later died at a hospital.

Are.....are you aware of Georgia politics?


The current governor was elected in an election he was responsible for overseeing at the time, had some shady poo poo go down, and then, when a recount was requested, fought against it until the courts ruled they had to recount, then destroyed the ballots.


My vote really DOESN'T count, yo. And considering I'm poor, struggle with mobility, and don't get paid time off if I wanted to go vote, thus costing me money I can't really afford....well, your lucky I'm doing it at all

I am quite well aware as I was born and raised there, and the governor's election was close as gently caress, Georgia is a state that could conceivably go blue as long as people keep on the press. It's gotta start somewhere, that's why get out the vote campaigns exist, and other grassroots efforts to get people who feel disenfranchised out to the polls. As far as compensation for voting, I really unfortunately don't know what to say there, because there unfortunately exists no legislation that requires employers to compensate for voting time other than allowing time off.

If people actually got out and voted instead of saying their vote doesn't count, then the nations electoral map would look way the gently caress different than it does. Republicans in particular prey upon convincing voters that they don't like that their vote doesn't count, and then put out terrible racist poo poo to energize people who they want to flood the polls.

Letting a literal fascist be president was a pretty bad move and if you're not doing everything you can to vote then you're part of the problem.

I checked off 'YES' to every tax increase (which might increase my yearly burden by a whole hundred dollars) without really looking into any of them because I don't really care. My uncle will be thrilled when I tell him this.
