People don’t vote because politicians don’t materially benefit them. When politicians provide significant support to regular ass people in way that materially benefit them you will see more voters turn out, not when you whine to them about them not voting. If politicians wanted this to occur, our state reps and their staffers would be in our work places, talking to people, giving them reasons to be involved with the political party apparatus, and providing material aid to the poorest and least represented among us with their own hands. We have bad voter turn out because shitty, myopic politics breeds political disinvestment. This post has it pretty much exactly backwards.
Anecdotally, I have friends from MA who don’t give one fuck about politics. Haven’t voted in years despite me telling them, messaging them with voter registration status, and locations, giving them every resource they need to make it as easy as possible. None of it mattered. Two of these friends in the last year have told me they want to vote for Governor Healy because they intend to use the free community college program, unprompted. Went out of their way to tell me. Another friend told me they like their state rep because they showed up at a union rally for their union and my friend realized from talking to the politician personally that the rep was a socialist who just happened to have a D next to their name.
Vote for supporters of ranked choice voting
I don’t mind the kids being force fed the Bible. At least they’re getting something in their bellies.
This thread is a shitshow.
American democracy ends in a month if things go poorly. It’s done, over, gone. A Mein Kampf reader will no longer have any restraints, no adults at the table to say “no, that’s wrong” if he wins again.
DEMOCRACY. WILL. BE. OVER.
Bitch, whine, fuck you bringing this up in thread last 30 days, I live here. So do my fucking friends and family. I don’t want to see them or I put in camps to be “deported” for having the wrong skin color, lover, gender, or religion/lack thereof.
Fuck you, vote.
Who’s reassigning minors genders? This isn’t a thing that happens outside of Fox News strawmen.
You think the problem with transfolk is that they’re begging for attention? C’mon, they just want to live lol. You should focus on the half of the country who doesn’t want them to exist.
Gender is not fucking sex. Get over that. Being/presenting male is a social thing, it’s not about the biological sex.
And yes, they’re literally trying to force children to read the bible.
Who are you to say which abortion is justified or not? If you think someone is irresponsible for “constantly getting one” (??? Who is???), they definitely shouldn’t have a kid then.
I don’t think your logical solutions have any actual logic.
And god, please share me any info you have of immigrants getting free housing, I’m so curious.
You went as far as posting your own source about the Bible, but you’re too lazy to look up the other topics?
Illinois is offering $9,000 and furnished apartments to migrants to help them get started, for example.
Transgender youth receiving surgeries is rare, I’ll admit, but that doesn’t stop the white house from opposing trans gender surgery bans from ages 6-17.
And force people to read the Bible? That’s a bit too far however.
You can search for those topics. Have a good day
