#VOTE IN SMALL ELECTIONS

[notyouraveragebozo]

3/7/2024

Joe Biden is SMOKIN'! VOTE BLUE The SOTU Speech was AMAZING in breadth and consideration. Meat was on those bones! Please GOOD People,... VOTE BLUE in 2024! Help boost - us all - into the Future! I am voting for Joe. I am going to fight for Joe, and I ask each of you, to stand with Joe, and his vision of a better world. This life is worth the living. There is beauty, wonder, and hope, wherever you set your eye. Why, in our short spans, must we focus such time and energy - on making bombs, bullets, and tears? We should be focusing on dancing shoes, guitars, and making - meals - to share - with friends and neighbors, knitting closer - more supportive - communities. Only the living - can work to make this world a better place. While We live and breathe,... let's focus on making smiles, gardens, and dreams, blossom and grow. NYAB says,... VOTE for Women's Choice 'to bear and to carry'. VOTE for Voting Rights security! VOTE for Safety in the schools and on the streets. VOTE for Environmental protections! VOTE for those to come after. VOTE for Working to find answers to problems. VOTE for a guy willing to work - more than - to cheat at golf. The answer is simple,... We need Joe - and Joe needs U.S! Semper fi!

#state of the union #bettertogether #the truth is out there #opportunity #paradigmshift #truth is stranger than fiction #hopes and dreams #please vote #vote blue #vote democrat #vote biden #election 2024 #fucking vote #betterworld #dreams can come true #small business #entrepreneur #civic duty #life is worth it #mental heath support

ive never voted for president and im keepin it that way

argue w ya mama

#i hold firm to voting in small local elections and doing what i can on the ground w my local communities #thats all i care to do #if that somehow means we get to endure red cyanide instead of blue well #go yell at the ppl actually runnin shit #go feed someone about it #in fact every time someone gets weird if me not voting comes up imma sell my vote for an act of them doing something tangible #and then still not vote

[unforth]

I'm an OTW member again!

THANK YOU @petralemaitre !

If y'all want to get a membership scholarship before June 30th so you can register and be able to vote in the next OTW election, get all the deets here:

(the post is worth reading even if you don't want the scholarship; it's about End OTW Racism and it's such an accurate write-up of my own thoughts on why I'm involved too, I was like, "wow sharing a brain with a total stranger is so heckin' weird")

Very much lookin' forward to exercising my right to vote! Let's dooooo this!

#unforth rambles #i haven't been a member in a few years cause money's been to tight #and i'd been thinking about trying to scrounge up the money this time because it feels really important #so i was so so so thrilled to see this offer going around and I jumped right on it #it's also aptly timed cause i have to vote in my local election today or tomorrow too #time to uselessly vote against our mayor again lmao #to be fair i don't mind our mayor he's a democrat and he usually runs unopposed in the general election #i've met him a few times and he officiated our wedding he's an okay dude #but he's an old conventional white dude and every primary he gets challenged by someone and it's different people each time #but they're always black women who are much more liberal #one guess who i vote for #the black women keep getting closer to winning so maybe one of these years??? #two of the past elections the black woman in question was actually our neighbor down the street so that was a plus #i'm less familiar with this year's person but I'll still vote for her she's the current city council president i think #also i'm lmao this makes where we live sound sooooo small #it's not there are like 65000 people here it's just a coincidence

(voting)

im not a super political person but I just wanna emphasize how frustrating it is when people dont vote. especially when those same people complain about the results like??? you could've helped to not make this a thing??? idk,, as someone under the age of 18 it's frustrating as hell when yall who can vote and have easy access to vote ACTIVELY CHOOSE NOT TO.

#voting #2024 elections #small vent?? idk tbh i just minda needed to get off my chest #id honestly laugh at american politics if i wasnt living here #like yeah were doing a lot better than a lot of people but the fact that some of yall just flat out refuse to acknowledge certain things... #makes me NOT proud of being an american?? #anyways all the more reason to get the fuck up outta here!! 😇😇 #oh yeah and #spitballin'

[fivefeetfangirl]

you're trying to figure out what to vote in the local election: multi-party system edition

#to live in a world where i dont have to do hours of research to make an informed decision about who's gonna run the county and municipality #and ive just started to research #AND THE VOTE IS TODAY AND TOMORROW #but i have to vote today cause im working tomorrow #AND I HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN TO THE COUNTY PART IM STILL ON THE MUNICIPALITY POLITICS CAUSE APPARENLTY WE NEED TO HAVE #THREE DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT LEVELS #like. how do you navigate a political landscape where the far left and far right might agree on some matters. like???? this is way too much #but i refuse to not vote or vote blank #also local politics sucks cause like. they're people i have relations with. mostly cause i work with politics lol so ive met most of them #but also like. you stalk a politician and find out you have 15 shared friends on facebook. tell me youre from a small place without telling #me youre from a small place #anyways. remember to vote in your elections ahaha easiest way to participate in your democracy. and local politics are actually super #important even tho it might not be as fun/interesting as national politics

[dooffirmations]

ooh okay there have been a LOT of accusations of twitter users rigging the election so let's see if—

oh.

oh i see.

you know...

i don't want to fucking hear it from yall

#tumblrwoman election 2023 #twe23 #vriska serket #homestuck #marceline #adventure time #full transparency i sent a link saying to vote marcy but it got almost no attention i have a very small audience #and im not the one saying the poll was rigged

[aquitainequeen]

The Labour Party: Want to donate to us, to help with advertising?

Me: *noise of vague disinterest*

The Labour Party: It'll help to keep London out of the hands of the Tories and the right-wing!

Me:

#uk politics #yep; London mayoral election times are coming up #and thus it's time to do my own small part in POLITICS #PLEASE send us a general election because we need to get the Tories OUT #voting matters #now more than ever

[copiasass]

the saying, plant a tree for shade later, put other modes of transportation in and maybe in a few years you won't be stuck in car traffic hell

#fuck cars #shits reversible man #get involved in your small town politics #way too many people my age only give a shit about the presidential election and then wonder why nothing is changing #president cant do shit #your vote counts more on a county and city level and yet only old boomer fucks who want to pave over everything and put #a 15 lane highway through a black neighborhood get their way

[forerussake]

it’s election day and idk what party i’m gonna vote for yet aaaaaah

#the tiny leftist party i agree with slightly more or the large leftist party that might actually be able to make changes #the problem is the points i disagree on with the big party are kind of actual dealbreakers #but the small party is so small it feels like throwing away my vote #especially in an election where right wing populists might just win the election #i’m torn #rl

[im-a-goat-in-disguise]

Who else looking forward to the Tories getting their dick smashed into a incoming train when the 2024 election rolls around

#UK and USA elections lining up like the planets #at least here labour are. basically guaranteed a win #itd take some SIGNIFICANT suicidal politics to lose it at this point i think #the recent by-elections (pretty much Tory safe seats - labour won both by good margins) #show that Nobody wants even a month more of conservatives #like. how far will sunak and co go to try get a single vote more? #half expecting them to start offering BJs to random members of the public in the vain hope of securing more seats than the SNP #if current trends hold #there's a chance. small. but a chance. that the conservatives dont even get enough seats to be the main opposition party #like. SNP or lib dem might be there instead #which is. just fucking wild. #throwing your chances down the shitter so hard that you dont even get to be the main opponent next round #cant imagine what labour (sorta pro-devolution) and SNP (pro-devolution) could get up to #its going to be SOOOO FUNNY #whos ready to join me. it's like a year in advance but. 10pm GMT. When the exit polls come out #it might be a bigger labour win than 1997. its so atrociously lopsided right now #labour aren't sparkly clean but they're buckets better than 'homelessness is a lifestyle choice' #if your reading this from a conservative 'safe' seat #you are actually in a swing seat. jsyk. vote anything but conservative in the election and hope

#art block is still high and mighty #but hav this very small drawing from my sketchbook #might develop this? idl we'll see #dont know where i got the idea from #wilimia art #doodle #wili oc #side note that imma just ramble about: #so i was in Gothenburg recently amd theres alot of political posters up all around the city #on buss/tram stations on street lights amd on public transport #(which isn't weird since the election os next month) #but i saw one ad for right wing nationalistic parti that sensible people hate (SD) and guess what it said #smth along the lines of #were against extremists #im sorry what? #excuse me? #isn't your party the most sexist racist and radically nationalistic party? #dont most members of white supremesist groups vote for you? #dont islamophobes vote for your party? #i was so baffles what the fuck #it was kinda funny how contradicting it was

[themself]

everyday i see people online like "oh yeah if revolution is so good why havent you done it yet" "go ahead and solve our problems by revolutioning ill sit here trying to gradually fix them in reality" is like. has the voting done anything either. has the liberal change youve argued for helped either. no. did the voting solve the problems.

#i think worst take was yesterday i saw somebody being like #oh yeah if we do revolution how will we have indoor pluming #like i Understand but have you considered #YOU have indoor plumbing #people living on the streets dont #people living in areas where the water is toxic dont #so you really come off as saying 'your revolution will make my life worse so i dont want it' #which is at least honest. i guess #again back to the point are we even doing revolutions tho no so why argue with these people #'um im trying to shame them into voting' #1) because shaming is a known effective strategy #2) like these people live in the statistically insignificant areas where presidential elections matter or #3) would make up a big enough population to do that #so WHO CARES #genuinely none of this means anything #this was set off by like #'oh you post theory and talk about revolution. yeah well go run for office' #newsflash: being the head of the library in a small town can Help but it will also not undo uh genocide #which tends to be what the issue people are calling for radical politics tends to be around #massive systemic issues like that #anyway every day we have the 'we should change society somewhat' #'oh yeah and what will happen if we do that. you dont know #so no we souldnt asshole' #or argue like any of these political decisions even mean anything #did the single vote you got from shaming matter #its also always the people who dont do anything arguing with the people who dont do anything #which i recognize as another guy who doesnt do anything #all of this is to say: i am so tired #it is not even 2024 and we are having the voting argument

[njadastonearm]

I didn't get out after the thunderstorm earlier and now there might be another one in 30-40 minutes and I'm trying to decide if I want to risk it to vote early or if I just want to vote on Election Day and risk a longer line. If I go early enough in the day then that should limit any possible issues with lines, right?

#tbd #i think i've voted on election day like twice and both were for small elections that nobody showed up for #but this has been the first day in early voting where i actually had time and it's been pretty severe weather all day

[sheisbeautyweareworldass]

fuck

#im so afraid #like #everyone is so confident he’s gonna lose even if it’s a small difference #but the police was literally blocking the roads to stop people from getting to where they vote here in the northeast #im so afraid that this has delayed the voters’ arrival to the point where they were to late to vote #the northeast is the only chance of bolsonaro not being re-elected #god I hate it here #I just wanna leave this country I want some peace. I cant spend the next 4 years waiting for the next bad news like I did in the last 4 year

[croakings]

y'know. despite everything. i do find it a little bit funny that an increasingly prevailing opinion of the left is "only idiot liberals bother to vote"

#* #chatter #uspol #that's not a smart thing to think or say at all u r not immune to propaganda #''liberals(derogatory)'' the left 🤝 the right #which. i don't necessarily disagree but also #not thinking very hard about ''hot takes'' and having chronic incurable brain worms: the left 🤝 the right #i literally just. y'know. people in power..... make decisions occasionally. sometimes those decisions may affect you‚ personally. #sometimes change is slow and The Work™️(the great work)(the little work)(the things that regardless must be done) is. well #a slog. undramatic. ineffective. disappointing. and yet. #it matters if you can win one small insignificant bloody crumb of relief for someone. anyone. in any capacity. #there are lesser evils and at the same time there're greater goods. y'all're so fatalistic and negative #howre u gonna meet the revolution if u can't even suck it up and learn who's on ur city council #or god forbid participate in electing any of the members #the work is to do what good u can for literally anyone or anything u can manage. #it costs u NOTHING to vote or certainly nothing more than actually organizing would #literally do not understand sobbing into my hands y'all're so stupid.... #leftist infighting is truly just. fucking lmao. YOU CAN DO MORE THAN ONE(1) THING GOOD FUCKING GRAVY #im actually incapable of crying so u really do just have to laugh

[mejomonster]

reminder that vote411.org and ballotpedia.org have information on us elections (including city and county) if you want to look into who’s running, what they said their answers and priorities were, etc and research what you’d like to vote for. its good for comparing candidates and finding information on smaller candidates like city council

#voting #vote #us politics #reference #its also good for big elections obviously #but i find smaller elections have harder to find info so these help #also - search the election name if its REAL small and its like city council or something #into a search engine. usually local news sites will compare candidate answers for school boards and city councils
