Depends on your skin color

And if your district is blue or red (related to skin color).

I've seen videos at the Madison, WI college campuses and the lines were very, very long.

I voted last week because it's easy AF to vote in Washington state.

That was one thing that I absolutely loved when I lived out there. I wasn't too politically active or anything but if there was a vote then I'd get a ballot in the mail and at least once I remember I got a small guide on the candidates and their positions that I could only imagine they wrote themselves. I'd have no idea there was a vote going on but if I got that in the mail then I knew I should look up what's happening. It got me to engage much more in voting and wtf is happening in my area.

I feel like the judges they put on the Supreme Court are fairly different.

The 245 federal judge appointments by Trump. Tons of goons don't even know how much this poo poo matters. Now those judges are all across the country chudding it up with the power of United States law (which they interpret).

I downloaded a sample ballot and I don’t see “legalize weed” on here anywhere. This is bullshit.

I did the same two weeks ago and it was on my ballot.

You dumbasses should have voted.

Even if neither party is going to materially improve your conditions, one of them is going to actively make them worse on purpose, that's the republicans. It sucks that the choice is between "make (bad) things even worse" or "keep things the same (bad)", but it's dumb to pretend those options are equal.

Nah it doesn't matter. They are both the same!!! Exactly the same!!!

I, with all of my heart, loving hate goons that don't vote. You guys should know better. I expect way too much from goons sometimes. Even though I'm a loving failure, I still want to make the lives of Americans better if I have even the slightest amount of hope.

I was a firefighter, an EMT, joined the USMC (whoops, that was a mistake), am a volunteer with a veteran disaster response organization, handed out food to poor people multiple times at a church which I'm not a Christian or believer in, assisted in getting people vaxxes in 2020 when poo poo went down, etc, etc, etc.

It was the cause. To help people that are worse off than me. That's it. I just wanted to help people. I don't give too many shits about myself. I care about other people that don't have it as good as I do.

gently caress you people so hard that don't want to help your fellow Americans by taking 10 minutes out of your day to not just TRY..... loving TRY to make things better for your community.

gently caress all of you.

jesus. you seem fuckin nuts lol

I apologize but WI hasn't been doing well for a bit. We're trying to recover from bad poo poo. Scott Walker.

WI's abortion ban came like 170 years ago. So it, by default, went into effect when they overturned RvW. It is illegal here. Michels, the GOP trump backed challenger, said that it is "not unreasonable" to force a raped girl to give birth.

Yeah I'm a little worked up tonight dude.

Also if democrats don't get voted in, republicans just make sure that future voting just will not occur. The amount of damage republicans have done and will do in the course of an election cycle far outweighs whatever kind of message you can send to dem leadership.

I believe Moore v. Harper is coming up soon in the supreme court.

That is the end of American democracy.

lol it doesn't matter because the literal law of the land, the supreme court, who is appointed by the president........ eh wtf are they gonna do to our rights?

Elephant Ambush posted:

my dude everything you listed out (except for joining the military) does way more to help your fellow humans than voting so keep doing all that other stuff and press the placebo button every couple years if it makes you feel better

Directly. Like, hands on their chest directly. That's physical, at the moment, trying to help someone. It's immediate and you have to do what you can right away. You know?

Politics doesn't work like that. It's a slow game. So many loving "leftists" think that if they don't get what they want immediately then it's over and everything is lost. Change doesn't happen immediately, unless you have a literal insurrection (which the right tried). How do you think the right got so far right? A gradual stoking of fear, doubt anger, and hatred.

This is not a loving win or lose game right away. Do your god drat duty and try to pull things farther to the left. Anyone who thinks this is so black and white is a loving moron. Your local municipal building clerk can be elected. They can handle your votes.

You vote for someone leftish, then (since you age, as time works) you vote for someone more left than them. You can see where I'm going with this. If you can't then after that lefter person is voted in, then you can vote for a farther left person.

You will never get your perfect candidate. Ever. I promise you. But you can help us move things in the right direction. I'm in this in the long haul bitches. I want the generation following me to have it better than I did. I have a nephew that I love. He needs a better world than me.

So yeah. gently caress all of you who don't care about other humans.
