The more I speak about #Biden's complicity in #genocide, the more desperate people are to tell me I must vote for him in six months.
This is what they focus on. Not the genocide happening right now but a vote that will happen in six fucking months.
They say the only way to stop the genocide is to make sure he stays in office. Again, they say the only way to stop genocide is by keeping the same person committing it in power.
Mind you, I haven't once indicated who I'm voting for, because it isn't the point. But also, I have ranked choice voting, so it's really not relevant. I don't have to vote for Biden to still vote against#Trump. I just have to rank the damned candidates, with Trump last. But again, this isn't even the point.
The point is that so many people who claim to care about genocide don't, and would rather focus on fighting me on my individual #vote 6 months away than a genocide happening right now.
The fascist project 2025 receive funding from Koch network & Leonard Leo. The project is also heavily promoted by MAGA-criminals ie:Steve Bannon, who has called it the “blueprint” for Trump dictatorship.
▫️ Disappear the word abortion from all rule, legal & government laws. It will not exist in America. Thousands of Women and Girls will die.
▫️ Deny birth control coverage.
▫️ Reverse a Biden policy that requires hospitals to offer abortions in medical emergencies to save Women's life. Forcing her death and denying medical aid.
▫️ DoJ for (arrest political adversaries or enemies)
▫️ End the Department of Education.
▫️ Allow disinformation from Russia and China.
▫️ FBI will have no ability to warn or stop disinformation from Russia or China.
What the fuck have Americans got to “make up their minds” about?
It’s democracy or dictatorship.
CHOOSE ONE.
It’s not that hard…. SMH #vote#votebluehttps://vote.org
“So…. Not a single poll had Alsobrooks winning by anywhere close to double digits, elections absolutely can break late, and campaigns matter,” said Colin Seeberger, senior communications director for the Center for American Progress. “Feels like there are some lessons to be learned here for, I don’t know, future elections.”
Sure is! Polls are worthless because the biggest voting block doesn’t answer rando numbers.
Two of the most important pages from a book (“They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45” by Milton Mayer) that I often revisit. What is on these pages has always been the case in the U.S. #books#bookstodon#vote
Do this
Your life
Your rights
Your freedom of choice
If you exercise your right to vote it makes it harder for the authoritarian to take those away.
Don't vote
Don't care
Don't live
Don't think
Dont breath
Millions would love to have your rights.
Use them. #vote #2024election
Mastodon should allow uploading and posting images when creating polls so the poll can have a visual representation of what the poll is trying to survey.
BRITT BILL WOULD CREATE FEDERAL DATABASE TRACKING PREGNANCIES
Alabama Senator Katie Britt, best known for delivering a bizarre, melodramatic televised response to President Biden's 2024 State of the Union address, has introduced a bill to create a federal website to collect data on pregnant people.
After pleading #guilty to #MoneyLaundering & #obstruction of #justice, Paul #Manafort, the globe-trotting #political consultant & former campaign chairman for #Trump, asked for leniency in his sentencing, telling a federal judge 5 yrs ago that he was nearly 70, struggling w/health concerns & remorseful for his actions.
#Manafort, now 75, also sought to advise #political figures in #Japan & #SouthKorea …. Manafort has roamed widely, traveling to #Guatemala last year on the invitation of a migrant advocacy group called Proyecto Guatemala Migrante. The group’s leader, Verónica Pimentel, said she & a colleague discussed Latin American politics & the #Latino#vote w/ Manafort & introduced him to a Guatemalan presidential candidate, Ricardo Sagastume, who confirmed the meeting.
#metoo likely revival as women and the men who love them, react to the badgering of #stormydaniels and the overall treatment of women by Republicans and denial of #abortion and #bodyautonomy to women. #vote like #democracy is on the line. It is.
Republicans hate Girls and Women - they have already bent the laws to be able to murder us and disappear us. They are now making it legal to humiliate and torture us. There is no love - and there is nothing redeemable - in a man who would be ok with this assault, subjugation, and physical abuse of Girls and Women. Girls and Women aren't vessels to club and claim caveman style. We aren't vessels to impregnate and imprison. We are autonomous beings with fundamental human rights to self determine. And: whether raped or not--> Abortion is healthcare! Ps.Men speak up for us.

It’s one of the most important resolutions on the docket. Without our voting rights fascism is all but a sure thing. Voter suppression is rooted in racism.
