flexghost.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?
jz.tuskThat it needs me to work hard to get out the vote.
@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote@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.
Hell yeah! I understand (and share) the awful feelings when one looks at these horrors, but if we're not talking about how to get active to fix them, then what's the point?
But I also think just saying "do something" leaves people thinking "okay, what?", so I try to give a specific, if small, action when replying like this. And you can join me, and become a "specific action reply person" too! Whattaya say?
@jztusk @flexghost Personally I encourage people to call everyone they know friends, fam and friendly acquaintances and make them all periodically check their registration. Do it several times between now and the actual vote and don’t just nag think of something kind or funny so it’s a conversation and not just one sided.
All my friends are compulsive types who never miss an election. So I have to resort to bugging random people on social apps. 😆
Seriously though, we did it in 2020, and I believe we can do it in 2024. They've worked hard to deny people their votes (especially black americans), but I'm ready to dive back in and help and encourage those on the front lines of oppression.
Liggs17@jztusk @Pineywoozle @flexghost I found the app Reach Local helpful in GOTV efforts. You can join a GOTV effort and by syncing your phone contacts to the app you can indicate whether a contact is a likely voter for Dem or Rep. this lets others using the app target Dem voters and not waste time. You can also join the effort with texts and phone calls for people in your neighborhood or nearby.
