It would be cool if people could stop acting like they won't. quote:On Election Day, Stein finished in 4th with over 1,457,216 votes (more than the previous three Green tickets combined) and 1.07% of the popular vote. But yeah, the primaries are still running and now is the time to call out Warren (and everyone else).

poo poo, I missed that in my keyword search. Serves me right for being lazy. quote:Lastly, I support eliminating the so-called “Widow’s Tax” and efforts to ensure that all families of veterans who died or became totally disabled from a service-connected condition receive the Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) benefits that they are entitled to.

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.

Throwing your vote away is giving them the win. 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

Dwanyelle posted:Are.....are you aware of Georgia politics? 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. orange juche fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Nov 5, 2019 |

Voter suppression in places like GA does not rely solely on convincing people to not vote. That is absolutely one strategy, and one they use to the hilt, but straight out being unable to vote is not an unheard of fantastic made up situation in these Republican poo poo holes, and that's just the "legal" stuff they do.

Thankfully VA is really easy about absentee ballots, I voted last week and my reason was basically "I don't wanna go to the polls normally". 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.

I actually voted no to the quarter percent sales tax increase on the ballot here because what they want to use it for is nebulously defined as "arts, parks, and education" without setting any specific goals regarding what they're going to accomplish with the additional funding, just what it *might* get spent on. Hard to support when it will put the county at the highest sales tax rate permitted by state law and we have billion dollar rail infrastructure projects coming up that we're gonna need to fund somehow.
