Just voters? More like 'Entire rest of the world'.

I think people should register republican. Still vote how you want, but the GOP can't Gerrymander around you if they don't know where you ar
Giantmutantcrab
No. Other cultists love their traitorous garbage.

They still get to decide what district you can vote in. So their piddly little 19% magically turns into 51%

We can only hope. And it'll only happen if we all do everything we can to make it happen. Vote, and encourage others to do the same!

I consider every vote I cast to be a personal “fuck you” to my bigot granddad. I never miss a ballot.

It's kind of depressing having to double check that I have my voter registration card where I left it, because I live in Texas.

Basic voters: We're so done hearing about Trump. GOP: TRUMP IS THE MOST VICTIMIZED HUMAN EVER.

I....hope that anti-GQP drives voting in the mid-terms. *hope* is a very strong word for me.

Please don't become complacent. We need ever vote. Our democracy does. Rest assured they will vote.
StanielRonathan
That tends to be a persistent problem within American progressive voters, they take the first small victory as a sign to dial back & start-
fighting amongst each other instead of pressing the advantage. One presidential win but obstructed every step of the way by, time to stop-
supporting them for not going far enough or not getting enough done instead of flipping seats in the do-nothing obstructionist Congress

The funny thing is that for a lot of GOP voters "Vote for your own personal good" would lead to the same result.

Replace vote with sacrifice.

Sacrificing people is often overlooked as a solution to climate change. The climate did get worse after the Aztecs died out.

Unassailable logic right here. Let's start with the fascists and see how things go.
PunnyTiger
and yet over half of them will stay home because "voting doesn't make a difference". voting needs to be quick, easy, and mandatory.
Go door to door, and ask for them to vote. Yes it does make a difference, and you do have the time to vote. Just look at Kansas!
This is to the people reading this, not the the commenter.

Let's HOPE this is the case. But also do not become complacent - get off your butts and VOTE.

It's already happening, seen the one about Library defunded for LGBTQ books. The real story. Only 1/3 of voters showed up. Lost by 500 votes
spiceass9000
It’s not. Republicans get outraged at their own party for about 1 minute before being told blatant lies it’s the fault 1/2
Of the biggest threat to democracy and everything we hold dear, their true sworn enemy above all others. Democrats fault.

I knew I'd find you here. I was about to tag you, but it's good to see you're still active fighting the good fight.
Thank you! I am as much as I can. I'm a teacher, and with the school year coming right up I'm counting on you! Help me out?
Yeah, I'll see what I can do to encourage people to vote on any post that presents the opportunity. Good luck!

Outlawing abortion was never planned to happen. That was always a car the GOP chased and should never catch. It was an easy topic to for (1
2) them to campaign on. Now they caught the car, don't know what to do because it has pissed off everyone. Even the lurkers that don't vote.
unclesporky
Keep in mind the distinction between outlawing it, and ending federal-level protection. Plenty of red states are merely restrictive and >
don't fully outlaw it, so even people in those states might be complacent toward it. They "still have theirs" so they might be less upset.
This isn't saying "lol it's fine," this is just examining the attitudes of people who might live in areas where they feel unaffected.

This kind of shit isn't helpful in the slightest. People need to know what they're up against and that their vote is 100% necessary.

A lot of people don’t vote because of a sense of hopelessness. Hard to balance that with those who don’t because of complacency.
newsguycraigevans
I disagree. It's good to see that others agree with you. That's why the GQP tries to keep their base in an echo chamber 24/7. It works.

This is your LAST CHANCE. Vote the GOP out this November, or prepare for war.
They might be the ones bringing the war if they lose. They don't accept defeat anymore.
Count on it.

Disagree. This is very helpful for some people. Some will be encouraged to vote by the idea that there's lots of others voting with them. ->
-> just because something doesn't work for you doesn't mean it won't work for other people.
You've got a situation where about a third of people aren't inclined to vote. That's far more significant than those few who are too timid 1
