I’ll believe it when I see it. Voter turnout amongst young people is traditionally abysmal. That more are voting this time is great, but it’s still going to below 50%. Well, except for conservatives. They show up.
Please, people, voting takes less effort than a pub crawl. Just vote.
People used to get in serious Federal trouble when doing stoopid shit on airplanes… Not so much anymore…
There are vast political differences between elected officials within each of the two main parties. That’s how the nation compensates for the two party system. Change a party from within -it’s absolutely possible and has been done before- instead of pissing and moaning that your little boutique clique “party” isn’t popular.
Don’t forget to vote third party to teach the Democrats a lesson about genocide….
Seriously the American Gaza protests are 100% about disenfranchising Democrats. They absolutely never go after Republicans. Ever. Ask them about this and they get suuuuper defensive and angry.
Genocide? That term is being used 100% to chide Jews. You want to talk to genocide, take a look at Sudan right now. Now that’s a genocide. But it’s “whataboutism” to you guys… Gaza is a massive military action but ain’t even close to genocide.
It’s literally 80 years of policy, but y’all are absolutely fixated on Biden/Democrats and can not fathom how worse it’s going to be under Trump. You are offended at the very idea you could be mistaken about this; fingers in your ears, “nyah nyah nyah”…
Here’s my prediction: once Trump wins, the Gaza protests will wither and stop. Because the way high up directive on these protests is about the Democrats losing, not about Gaza.
Lots of people here frame this as a Biden and Harris policy. While the Senate is evenly split between parties, the House is majority Republican. Congress is where this money is allocated. And Trump is rabidly anti-Muslim. But sure, frame aid as Biden and Harris only. Never mind what will happen once Trump wins the election.
In San Francisco, a resolution was passed allowing undocumented residents who had children to vote legally in school board elections and no one voted. My guess is that even if officially invited to vote, an undocumented person isn’t going to just give the government their name and address. So yeah, Republicans are just conjuring up yet another conspiracy theory to rattle what they themselves call “low information voters”, aka their base.
I’ll drink to that!
