If Trump gets elected again somehow then... I don't know what we can do to fix the country. I can't put into words my feelings about that situation, but I worry it will cause me to no longer believe our country can be saved.
I'm gonna make sure my loved ones are armed and have ammo.
tell boss I'm gonna vote, take day off
don't vote, chill and eat ice cream at Coldstone
blatantly lie to coworkers the next day, pretend that I voted
Arizona here. Very likely voting straight Democrat. Weβre a swing state that feels like itβs swinging further Democrat at time goes on. At least at ground level, it feels like things are changing for the better. Phoenix doesnβt look and feel like the land of the Karens and boomers as much as even 4 years ago.
they all moved to Scottsdale
Not voting and enjoying a beer
Writing in Xi Jinping (no, not that one, a different one)
I've been dreading it since 2020. I might turn my phone off the entire year.
I wish I could let everyone who's going to text me know that I've already made a decision and they don't need to waste their time or mine.
I think it was Lewis Black who said, "I don't know if you've noticed, but the two party system in this country is a bowl of shit looking at itself in the mirror."
I vote for who earns my vote. I refuse the forced choice of two terrible options.
So far it's shit.
I really believe individuals are looking at the issues wrong. Choose a side because of this choose a side because of that. Why aren't we rephrasing it as - stay away from that side, he doesn't know who the current President is. Stay away from that side who believes people are "vermin" Stay away from that side, it's a bunch of old dudes that dodged the draft to do drugs.
People should start choosing elected officials that will help us, not tear another individual down.
We have a generation of geniuses that haven't figured out how to fix private insurance yet we can develop AI that can scan images for any abnormalities with a higher success rate than doctors.
We can design and model infrastructure to be more efficient yet we'll keep those plans in the attic and let them go to waste.
Greed will win, and I don't know how to communicate that I can solve all of these problems without demonstrating I too am greedy, but my currency is human progression, and a few extra bucks to get us there.
I'm not voting for Genocide Joe unless the US forces Israel to end its genocide of Palestinians.
The 2020 election got me off of facebook and most other social media. Not quite sure how Iβll approach Lemmy going into 2024, seems ok for now and not the dumpster fire that facebook was during 2016 and 2020. If it gets too bad I might block national news & political communities and see if that helps. I already know that Trump/GOP represents fascism in America, so I donβt really need more news to confirm that point or help me make up my mind going into the election.
Apparently Americans forgot about the years 2016-2020. Trump is polling favorably and if an election was held today, he'd probably win.
I live in DC, so my vote doesn't really matter. So I'll be leaving the president spot blank, and just voting for the most left non-incumbents I can on city council, ed board, etc etc.
Hope my liver can outlive either Biden or Trump depending on who gets elected.
Fighting like hell right now to get viable candidates for local offices in my area, because the deadline to announce your candidacy is less than 30 days away for us, and many offices go uncontested. I might not pay too much attention to news on the national level, but I'll definitely be spending the next year working to campaign and canvass for local candidates, register people to vote, and helping people get to the polls.
