I don't think I can vote here. I had or maybe still have dual nationality but if I didn't declare for the other I was going to lose it. I don't think it technically affects my US citizenship in the eyes of the US, but also I don't want to draw any attention to that or break any laws or whatever. So I've never registered or voted. I just live here and don't participate beyond telling other people what they should do. Also I can leave if you all mess it up. Good luck tho! 💖

I voted a while ago via mail in voting. But I’m starting to think it was a mistake. I’ve received dozens of texts and dozens of pieces of mail that are telling me everyone that I voted for are pieces of dogshit!!

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:Wow sounds like a serious issue. I assume the democrats are taking appropriate action to ensure that these judges don't further infringe on our civil rights? These are the takes I never quite understand. "The Republicans are doing horrible things and the Democrats aren't doing enough to stop them. Ergo we should let the Republicans be in charge again." This country has gone so far right it's falling into fascism. You're not going to get your socialist dreamboat government in one go, you first have to push it firmly away from right-wing fascism. That takes time.

Ergo we should let the Republicans be in charge again." In the last 15 years the Democrats have had 2 majorities and didn't do anything meaningful to stop fascism even though they could have The Democrats don't want your votes as much as they want your donations and that was proven 1000% this year when they said "we're not even going to try to codify abortion rights into law right now BUT IF YOU VOTE FOR US IN NOVEMBER then we'll maybe move it up the priority list a little" They're all owned and controlled by billionaires, whether they have a D or R next to their name. And even in the magical unicorn scenario where they actually win and keep that promise, minimum wage still won't go up, we'll still have draconian health care, cops and the MIC will get even more money than they already do, and billionaires will never see any of the jail time they deserve despite all the death and sickness and misery they've caused

guys haven't you heard its the most important election of your lives? Maybe if you give Democrats a 10 man majority in the senate they can have 11 or more Dems vote down a minimum wage increase instead of the mere 8 they used last time

I liked voting in Oregon since you got your ballot in the mail. In Wisconsin it's much harder. I'm in a designated liberal zone so my polling place is on top of a very high hill surrounded by land mines and barbed wire.

Giraffe posted:These are the takes I never quite understand. "The Republicans are doing horrible things and the Democrats aren't doing enough to stop them. Ergo we should let the Republicans be in charge again." we've been doing that for longer than I and most non-genesplicer posters have been alive and it's only resulted in further sliding to the right, for example as noted by hunter s thompson fifty years ago -  if this strategy were going to pay off, would we be reasonable to expect that to have happened within the past fifty years? what is the timeframe you predict? or to hear it from someone more directly involved, lawrence o'donnell was a key aide to democratic senator daniel moynihan for years - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqRNnIMDkUY to save the trouble of clicking through: “If you want to pull the party, the major party that is closest to the way you're thinking to what you’re thinking, you must - you must - show them that you’re capable of not voting for them. [...] If you don’t show them you’re capable of not voting for them, they don’t have to listen to you. I promise you that. I worked within the Democratic Party. I didn’t listen or have to listen to anything on the left in - while I was working within the Democratic Party, because the left had nowhere to go.” a vote is a vote. it's worth the same amount whether you're enthusiastic or not. there's no asterisk that you can attach, no notes to append. the only possible leverage within electoralism is to withhold it. every single cycle dedicated to this futile holding action only lets the wound fester even more, because it enables the party that has made a career out of enabling fascists. moreover, how many times does biden have to tell us that america "needs the republican party" and that he considers mitch mcconnell "a man of honor" and do poo poo like take a $200,000 gig to make a campaign speech for a republican in 2019 before you take him at his word? and the same for pelosi, schumer, and the rest of the democratic leadership. if they believe that democracy is at stake - as if america had a meaningful one in the first place - why don't they act like it? anyway that's enough effort for one post. I voted today for the various referenda on the ballot and for the candidate closest to my views and I've done my civic duty

I think 20 or 30 years ago you could have convincingly made the argument that both parties were bland, status quo, do nothing parties and maybe your vote didn't matter much. I don't think that's true now. The inmates are running the asylum on the Republican side. You have the choice between a do nothing party and a complete clown show.

At this point one of your neighboring states probably has it, just got to go there and buy your legal weed, then follow the speed limit all the way home through your state because you know the cops are just drooling at the thought of busting a pothead.
