Enthusiasm wins elections, because people actually take the time to go VOTE. It’s amazing how few people actually do!
Also voting is the one thing those bastard pig fascist bootlicking simp conservative chud SCUM don't want us all to do. You can tell because of how much outrageous effort they dump into making voting more difficult. So: fuck 'em. They can eat shit.
It's not even that I like the democrat party at all.
I just want the republicans to lose. Fuck them in hell for eternity.
Bonus; If the GOP gets curbstomped into oblivion where it belongs (with the Federalist party) then the democrats won't be able to say "well at least we're not republicans!" anymore.
Imagine uncle sam standing before the behaded corpse of an fat frumpy anthropomorphic elephant, still holding a big bloody machete and smiling at an anthropomorphic donkey.
"Oh, you're not like him? Why, Yes, You'd better 'be like him' as little as possible if you don't want to end up like he did too!"
The democrats only get away with their fuckery because they always hide behind their favorite token excuse.
They still delusionally think the republicans are their pet controlled opposition.
That pet is not controlled. It is entirely OUT of control, a danger to everyone, both completely feral and RABID.
It's time for America to take that violent, deranged, savage animal out to Kristi Noem's gravel pit and end its life right before its democrat "owner"s' eyes. If we make an example of the republicans, the cowardly shits in the centrist party will either see the light or flee.

Vote! Complacency loses every time.
I'm so happy this message is making it's way to the top
Don’t care - vote. 🗳️
It is possibly to do both
It needs to not be close. Biden was polling way ahead in 2020 but he only won effectively by like 85k votes. Yes, he got 7 million more votes total but in the closest states that could have seen him lose, only about 85k people was the difference between Biden winning the presidency vs Trump winning.
2020 was decided by even less than that! Closer to 43,000 votes across Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin.
It needs to become a nation-wide single-issue to revamp our campaign finance and election system.
That means abolishing the Electoral College and FPTP, addressing Gerrymandering, implementing ranked choice voting, and publicly-funded elections. This is the only way we fix our democracy at the root of the problem.
A path only open by Republicans losing this election, which is a critical point that can't be missed.
Crazy idea: How about the person who gets the most votes wins?
yOu MeAn MoB rUlEs?!?1?
First past the post isn't a good system, no.
Vote like your and your loved ones' lives depends on it, because they probably do.
Let's make sure the ballot box reflects that. Vote, get active, and get involved. Even if you don't live in a swing state, the down ballot races matter far more than you think
