Biden is up against a twice impeached adjudicated sex offender under indictment for espionage and a Florida man who has good things to say about slavery

…and it’s close.

What’s that tell you about america?

@flexghost

That it needs me to work hard to get out the vote.

@jztusk @flexghost Thank you. Just posting how awful they think it is and exaggerating the reality with out pointing out that good actions are needed and possible is just adding to the problem. Don’t like something? Fucking do something to change it. Doom posting unfortunately gets more engagement because complaining is easier than fixing. We organized and beat the GOP & we will do it again.

@Pineywoozle @jztusk

Nice generalizations. Let’s do this.

I donate a sizable portion of my income, I phone bank, I organize locally

Your turn. What do you do?

@flexghost @Pineywoozle

First, it's wonderful that you do those things, and thank you.

And second, can I suggest you include at least a mention of what you're doing when you point out stuff like this? I know a lot of people who are scared into inaction when they contemplate these horrible people, and I think letting them know that there are things they can do, and having you as a sympathetic model will encourage people.

@flexghost @Pineywoozle

Oh, and as to your question: I donate and participate in the Vote Forward letter writing campaign. I'm in deep blue so local organizing isn't much use. I also did a small amount of phone banking before, and hope to get more into that in '24. I found it kind of intimidating, but I did get to be on a volunteer's Zoom call with Alyssa Milano!
