Also, ideology is important but it isn't everything. We should want an elected official who is an effective leader, is honest, empathetic and free of corruption, is responsive to the needs of their constituents, believes in and supports the common good. I think Warnock and Biden both have these qualities. #VoteDems22
I am a progressive Democrat and well to the left of Biden and Warnock overall. But I really want Warnock in the Senate and Biden to be reelected. Having a Democratic President and Senate majority means left-of-center court appointments. It also means that progressive policies will at least get a fair hearing and some even included in bills. If the GOP takes over, progressives get nothing. #VoteDems22
NBC just called the race in favor of Fetterman. It gives me great pleasure to say Buh Bye Oz! #goodriddance #ElectionDay #VoteDems22
So far… (and I hesitate to even say anything)…the election results aren’t as bad as I feared. Hoping it holds as west coast results come in. #ElectionDay #VoteDems22 #BlueDotInRedState
Well, Texas proved once again that propaganda has a stronghold on rural communities which in turn, has a stronghold on the rest of us. Abbott let us freeze, didn’t care about Uvalde, doesn’t care if women have bodily autonomy, doesn’t care for LGBTQIA+, didn’t campaign for shit but because he’s got (R) next to his name & promotes gUnS it’s YEEHAW BORTHOR ABBOTT ALL THE WAY. As I said before, when is enough enough for the rest of Texas? #vote #ElectionDay #voted #VoteDems22 #blueinredstate

Busy day, today! Got up early to go #Vote with the entire #voting family when the #polls opened, but was delayed an hour... to our advantage! Apparently, the line at our local #poll started almost an hour before 7am!

I did my civic duty  #blueinredstate #VoteDems22

Thinking of my American friends and followers today and hoping everyone stays safe.

Early in my pottery journey, I made this piece, 'election box'. It focused on corporate influence (hence the stock symbols as voting choices) on politicians and democracy and the rise of fascism.

Today I am thinking of women, the LGBTQ, and BIPOC community whose human rights literally hang in the balance. Please vote against hate and with them in mind.
