REMINDER TO VOTE TODAY!
No, not just vote. Vote for Kamala Harris. The lives of queer, trans, afab, people of color, non-Christian religions, disabled people, literally any minority group you can think of are at stake! We can win, we can survive this. If you are an American citizen 18 or over, vote for Harris. This isn’t the time to “send a message” by not voting. This is your last chance.
The world is bleak for Americans if Trump wins. He is not for America, he is for himself. He is for the cishet able bodied able minded white man.
I am begging you, as a queer disabled person, to vote for Harris-Walz. This isn’t the time to deliberate.
By not voting for Harris, you are voting against the above minorities. I don’t care if you “still support them”. You are directly putting us in danger. Don’t be stupid, don’t be rash, don’t put others in danger. Lives are at stake here. Please, vote now.
REBLOG THIS POST TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. POST ABOUT IT YOURSELF. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T STAY SILENT.
I don’t know if this is how to repost, but it should work.
Im honest this is funny as fuck 😂😂
Given the extreme stakes of Project 2025 I need everyone to vote Democrat downballot. Everyone. Bring your friends to the ballot box, make a day of it. Have voting parties. Anything to get people energized.
I am dead serious though. If you know or love an lgbtq+ person, or if you care about continuing to have a choice or ability to push for change in this country, you need to vote Democrat downballot. The leftmost candidates must win as many races as possible. We have to completely smash the Republicans at the ballot box to get a chance at establishing ranked choice, to get abortion rights back, to keep Trump from getting more Justices, to secure the right to protest, and to protect and improve democracy.
The only way to move the overton window left where we want it is to keep voting left, persistently, consistently, doggedly.
Please vote. I know you’re depressed about it. I am too, but we have to vote.
Make sure you’re registered, and vote on Nov 5th. If you are disabled or don’t have reliable transportation, see what the absentee ballot laws are in your state.
Vote against Trump and Project 2025.
Seriously, this thing is terrifying if you like having, well, rights. Please protect the US from Project 2025 and vote Republicans out of office!
From @stopproject2025comic, here's one about what Project 2025 means for libraries. Full alt text at the site.
This is why it is important to vote your entire ballot in every election! Your state governor and legislature make a big difference in your life. Even your town's mayor and city council (or local equivalent), your school board and library board, your local and state referendums -- they all matter.
I get that sometimes it feels like you aren't making an impact. My district has elected some truly appalling people. However, the more local the election, the more difference a single vote makes, and even in a presidential election, a small number of votes can make a big difference.
If you don’t think this makes a difference, look at what the Minnesota legislature accomplished so far this year:
Set up free breakfast and lunch for all K-12 students
Implemented automatic voter registration and a number of other reforms to increase voter access
Made abortion access and reproductive care a fundamental right
Provided up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave
Banned conversion therapy and made Minnesota a safe state for trans people
Indexed school funding to inflation
And much, much more
Our cities, our states, our country -- they can do this, too! The Minnesota legislature isn’t filled with perfect people, but it has enough people who are willing to work together to get things accomplished.
Vote for people who will make progress. If you don’t have that option, vote for people who won’t push us farther back!
We are not going to let that fuckwad DeSantis gain a foothold in the 2024 election.
You are going to fucking vote for Joe Biden, and you are going to give us a fucking chance to save our country from fascism, and you aren't going to fucking complain about it, because there is literally no other choice.
We will not let another election be a close call. Are you listening?
Vote for Biden. Vote for whatever Democrat is most popular in your local elections. Our system sucks, but this is what we're working with. Just fucking vote.
Election day in the US is less than 2 months away. If you are legally allowed to vote, start planning! Make sure you are registered. Look into whether you qualify for an absentee ballot, so you have more time to research the candidates and issues. If you will need help turning in your ballot or getting to the polls, figure out what you need and who you can ask.
Even if you feel like none of the candidates are good, vote for the person who will do the least harm. (Hint: it’s not a Republican.)
The system is rigged. The advantages for the wealthy are immediate and endless.
