I don’t usually post political stuff, but I don’t see ANYONE talking about this, and I really believe if we don’t do this, we will hand this country over to fascists.
Your vote matters. Most of you reading this know it. But the truth is that the left is HORRIBLE at getting out to vote. From what I’ve read, registered democrats outnumber repubs by 10-15%. Yet on average less then 70% vote. There exists an apathy towards voting in a portion of the left that assumes that they don’t need to vote because “who would vote for that idiot Trump?”. They assume it’s a done deal, and don’t bother.
THOSE are the people we need to target. We need to set up community activists whose only purpose is to make sure democrats either fill out a mail in ballot, or have a ride to the voting booths. Every democrat needs to take a friend or two with them. We need to make voting a communal act where we encourage, check up on, and practically insist on their vote.
I believe that if we DON’T do this, it WILL BE the END of democracy. We have the numbers. Now we just need to get them out to vote.
Well said my friend. And this is exactly why every non-vote favors Trump. The troll farms and propagandist will try to argue against this all day as long as it helps their agenda. But at the end of the day- this is just an indisputable fact.
People need to vote like lives depend on it- because they do.
