The most scary fact I have read this week:
In the 2024 US presidential election one third of US voters did not vote.
It was literally a choice between a convicted felon with a fascist agenda and a law and order candidate who wanted to defend democracy — and still, every third US voter did not care.
Apathy is the first step to ending democracy.
It's not a protest vote.
It's ensuring that what happens to Black men will also happen to white men and white women. It's eliminating the possibility of a split fate.
Again, I don't agree with the strategy. But it is not insane, ableism aside.
If a 2028 candidate asks for your advice, asking should they promise to work with MAGA, knowing now what you know about how this 10% of Black men voters would respond, what would you advise that candidate to do? Not rhetorical.
Leftists: I'm not voting, because the Left isn't Left enough.
The Country, moving more right, because Conservatives do vote.
It's okay to be adversarial towards politicians, we should be demanding more, and questioning them, but ffs be smart enough to choose your adversary.
Dear America,
It’s not just a vote.
It’s a chance where you can show that the rule of law still matters, and that a convicted criminal can actually be sent to prison.
Vote!
Signed,
The rest of the world

- VP Harris on Trump's dark past as President
Meeting with staffers, Kamala Harris framed her campaign against Donald J. Trump as a choice between the future and a dark past.
Democrats said they would select a nominee by Aug. 7 in an online vote.
It has been confirmed Harris has enough votes to win on the first vote at Democratic convention!

@Nazani @MisuseCase I have told people this before offline, but #JoeBiden does not have to do anything for me to get my vote.
It’s not about me. It’s about preserving democracy in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸, & pushing back against authoritarianism & nationalism (both secular & religious) in #America 🇺🇸 & around the world.
If #DonaldTrump wins in November, we will ALL lose!
#JoeBiden is the only candidate who has beaten #Trump before, & #Biden can do it again if we vote!
