This is what happens when we let conservatives have any sort of power in society
any sort of power, they have it ALL now, because not enough Democrats figured it was important enough to simply cast a vote in Novembers election. more arab and latino americans voted for donald trump than have ever voted for any republican candidate before in american history. leftists told anyone that would listen they weren’t going to vote for “genocide joe” while marching on every major american city chanting “from the river to the sea”, while flooding social media with anti israel and anti democratic party messaging, the result of which was democratic youth vote was the lowest it’s ever been in american history, while republican youth vote was the highest it’s ever been. with everything on the line democratic youth couldn’t find it within themselves to defend the republic, by doing the lowest effort simplest action by casting a ballot in a safe, free, and fair election. donald trump won his second term as president by ~2.3% of the vote.
I just want to clarify that Arab and Latino Americans voting for Trump is marginal and would be insignificant if white voters weren’t in the bag for fascism already.
White women are the only marginalized group that fuck with Republicans in numbers.
A hearty lmao at the idea that white women are marginalized.
They don’t have control over their bodies. That’s fucking marginalized.
They are.
Marginalized groups can be more or less marginalized than others. That does not make them powerful relative to the rich-ass white men that run the world through financial influence alone.
Ya’ll motherfuckers act like just cause women can vote now, sexism is “solved.”
Do not engage the incel
Women who are 50% of the US population had the opportunity to vote for the first black woman president, protect their reproductive rights and instead 53% of the women who did turn up voted for the pussy grabbing rapist.
Maybe you should deal with the traitors in your own house.
Because a marginalized group has never been misled to accept and excuse abuse before. What a fuckin’ take.
Not sure what you mean by my “own house.” American white women are a demographic I’m displaced from in a number of ways.
Whatever dude. People having to pretend like they give a fuck what Karen has to say is half the reason we are in this mess.
They are powerful relative to “rich white ass-men” because they hold their cocks. Wake up.
It’s all about the nuances… baby boomers as a cohort are responsible for many of today’s problems and yet individual boomers are not. The elderly get roped into the defence of boomers even though there’s plenty of older people than them that actually helped setup the prosperity that boomers ruined.
Karens are frustrating and their voices are loud, but to even compare them to predator class humans like billionaires or rapists is waay out of touch.
They literally don’t have the same rights as men, they are marginalized, you God damn misogynist.
There isn’t a more protected class of people than an American white woman. You’re right, they have way more rights than men, you Goddamn misandrist.
And my man wonders why he can’t get laid with that great personality and very big brain.
You should probably not try to swallow a red pill that large. You’ll choke.
I voted for Harris in nov. But you are blaming the people with the least amount of power.
Democrats could have… you know… appealed to their voters instead of fund and arm a genocide, fund the police more than has ever been done, and ran on racist border fascism. They didn’t appeal to their voters and their voters didn’t show. Harris, Biden and all the people advising them should be the ones we direct our anger at not the voters who didn’t vote for something they weren’t inspired by.
Yeah agreed on all of that and yet the vote was still the easiest fucking choice of our lifetimes
Agreed. If voting was really easy or mandatory Harris would have won. But republicans and the courts make it hard so that there are tons of barriers for people to cast non fascist votes.
I filled out 2 forms and mailed them to my election office during the 2 months preceding the election. How much easier can we make it?
Much easier. Automatic registration, mail in ballots, etc etc. More progressive states are much better at this.
But Republicans purged voter rolls, made sure lines were extremely long by under staffing, made it illegal to hand out food and water in lines, making it illegal for felons to vote when felons are intentionally mostly poor and minorities, etc etc etc.
your experiences are not universal. The more marginalized a person is the more likely it will be hard for them to vote.
Sure, but none of that competes with the causes “I just didn’t feel like it” or “I’m not into politics”.
Well, grats. Politics are into you.
We could make it that easy in every state instead of just yours.
To vote in Texas:
- Make an appointment at the Department of Public Safety. The wait time is 4 months, and the appointment has to be at least one month before the election.
- Have all your paperwork in order on the first try. Note that the paperwork required may have changed between the time you made the appointment and the date itself.
- Get a few hours off of work on election day. Companies are not required to give you that time.
- Wait in line, in the worst case over two hours
- Vote
Restrictions on voting were put in place in many places around the country
In the wake of former President Donald Trump’s lies about a stolen election in 2020, many state legislatures implemented new laws restricting voter accessibility in key parts of the voting process.
Passed in more than half of U.S. states, the laws are often part of sweeping bills that targeted multiple parts of the process, including absentee voting, early voting, and Election Day voting. They mostly come from Republican-led legislatures.
How much easier can we make it?
Much. Automated voter registration, national holiday to give everyone a time outside of work to vote, national mail-in voting, penalty fee for those who didn’t vote (like Australia, something small like $5), change from FPTP to a STAR or Ranked or Approval Voting system, better information sent to each voter about the running candidates, ect
Seriously, the government knows how old you are. Birth certificates, IDs, taxes, insurance, school requirements, requirement to sign up for the draft if you are a man by 18. They know where you live and how to find you. Most people down to a ~10 meter radius at all times unless you don’t have your phone on you. Everyone should be automatically registered for presidential & VP voting. If you have an ID then they recorded your address to acquire the ID. You should be automatically assigned to that addresses precinct/district/county/state/federal officials that come from that area. If you do not have an ID, you should be able to go online or in person to submit a proof of address for free. If a person votes twice, it should flag the federal government for having 2 votes from the same individual, the state, county, district and precinct without an issue. All precincts have cameras and you aren’t allowed to wear face coverings (hair allowed) when voting. This means when you receive a ballot there wil be a recording of you being present. If the person attempts votes twice, they can confirm if it was the same person or if someone was trying to vote in their place.
Up the voter fraud charge to minimum 10 years in prison unless coerced and fully cooperate in apprehending whomever did such; who should be charged with the equivalent of treason. (Life in prison, or the death penalty… Not my personal choice, that’s just the penalty for treason federally).
I’d say more but I’ve already rambled and I’m sure I’ve said enough to find dispute in many.
Fuck the genocide. We have a real crisis at home now because people put another country ahead of ours.
Again, I agree as I voted for Harris. But the real villains are the people with actual power who made consequential decisions that fucked us all.
I agree with you on that. They rolled right over before it was even bedtime on election night.
