Don’t care - vote. 🗳️
Vote! Complacency loses every time.
I'm so happy this message is making it's way to the top
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?
First past the post isn't a good system, no.
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.
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
In Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Harris leads Trump 50% to 46% among likely voters.
That's within the margin of error. That doesn't really count as a lead.
Maybe not, but it's encouraging! Harris/Walz are stoking enthusiasm because they want to actually improve people's lives, not just repeat the same tired culture-war bullshit...
Jfc people went ape shit when 1-2% was called within the margin of error a few days ago and now folks complain when it isn’t called out at 4% lmao
Most people have a really, really awful understanding of how statistics work.
Preach.
Yes it’s all margin of error. But what I’m seeing personally is Biden was consistently 2-4% down (conservatively) in every state that mattered (which was within the margin of error) and Harris is up 2-4% in every state that matters now (which is also within the margin of error).
I’d rather be the Harris campaign right now than the (now defunct) Biden or (panicking) Trump campaigns. Qualify it all you want folks 🤷♂️
No I’m not complacent. I’m excited to vote.
Are they the same people?
You are aware that different people can think different things, right?
Wow you aren’t all the same people!? You aren’t all one person!? Man yeah that is literally the only way my comment could be interpreted. There are clearly no largely shared opinions here ever so I’m clearly living in a fantasy and just need to remember everyone is completely unique and no one agrees. Thanks for your concern you can move on now.
Sure, be a dick about it. Why not.
Look I’ll back off. You’re right, I’m going off for no reason. I don’t need to be another person pissed off pissing off other people. I’m sorry. Taking out some mild frustrations on you isn’t cool.
This is a good comment and we should all try to think like this.
My private corporation run a pool the other day and it turns out a third party has 60% of the votes.
Source: Trust me
You are trusting same other corporations for the pool in the article so i don't see why you shouldn't trust me
Well for starters, you're spelling "poll" wrong.
Because who are you? What was your sample size? What was your methodology?
I'm not saying polling is always right just pointing out that they're usually based on more than one random persons word.
Because who are you? What was your sample size? What was your methodology?
I'm someone on lemmy just like you who does pools for fun. Who are they and what's their methodology?
Here's the polling with all the relevant data if you actually wanted it and aren't just being snarky.
Have a great day friend!
edit: broken link
I interview myself 2000 people and 60% of them are voting for a third party.

She's doing her best to throw Michigan already.
Go vote. Only we can throw the election. They have no say.
