    Remember when these stories were loudly shoved at us for weeks before the (highly suspicious) 2024 election? Don’t get complacent.

    GO VOTE ANYWAY.

      I wouldn’t call 2024 suspicious, personally.

      What was suspicious was Kamala ignoring the affordability crisis to spare Joe Biden’s tender feelings and still expecting to win the election.

        What was suspicious was [ blah blah, blame kamala ]

        PEOPLE HAD A BINARY CHOICE AND STILL COULDN’T CHOOSE THE LEAST-WORST.

        My DOG knows the difference between 1 treat and 2 treats. She’d like a million treats, but will choose 2 treats if that’s the choice. 2/3 of Americans aren’t as smart as a creature with a 17-word vocabulary.

    Regardless of what you’re hearing, this is not the election to skip out on. Vote early and in person if at all possible, because there are many legal ways that the USPS can, under Donald’s direction, interfere with mail-in voting.

    Be there and put your ballot in the box yourself.

    If using a voting machine, do not skip the confirmation screen. Read it before printing out your ballot. There’s been at least one story in the media of Donald ordering his administration to acquire and hack a voting machine.

    Most importantly, don’t assume polls are right. Many that look good now are well within the margin of error.

    Get to your polling station and vote.

      It could, but that’s highly unlikely.

      There are simply too many precincts, too many states, and far too much political anger against the Donald admin. If he does make a move in this election, it will be via the courts, many of which have had fascist-aligned judges installed, or the mail system, where it’s absurdly easy and legal to interfere with mail-in voting.
