My ballot came today, ready to do my part. Remember, even when it says a local position is non-partisan, you can still look them up on your own and decide you don’t trust having a Republican county clerk, comptroller or anything else. They have to be voted out whenever and wherever possible.

I typically voted democrat in elections, but this was the first time I voted a straight ticket rather than selecting each candidate individually. Anyone who puts their name to the Republican ticket nowadays might as well be waiving an “I support treason” flag. Because anyone who is a Republican on the ballot is implicitly saying they support Trump.

The problem isnt the assholes. They're a force of nature. The problem is defeatists that don't help enough in the fight against the few assholes. It's always so close.
Remember: fuck the DNC corporate & foreign PAC cucks (like all the RNC are) by voting against them in the Primaries & by either running for local boards and committees or volunteering a lot for others to do so. But during General & Midterm elections VOTE BLUE damnit! "Ride the bus that's going closest to the direction you want." Don't just sit pouting at home because you found a fault.
MAGA is successful because they always side with "the team" and because they stack local boards and committees. Half my local midterm ballot is unopposed morons. If they can win, you can. We don't have to be a cult like them, but we do need to match what they're did to successfully harm themselves and others. Vote Blue AS IT IS.... then fix Blue.

If you care about your rights and prosperity, and you're a billionaire or delusional, vote Republican.
If you care about the rights and prosperity of others, and you're not a self-righteous brat, vote Democrat.
If you think both parties are the same, stay home and keep crying when the party that doesn't care about your rights or your prosperity keeps limiting them.

Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files and has been publicly accused of raping minors and sex trafficking minors. Donald Trump was found guilty of raping a woman and has exhausted all of his appeals. President Trump along with Elon Musk and Dr Oz are in the Epstein files. Donald Trump’s best friend was Jeffrey Epstein, the ring leader of Donald Trump’s sex trafficking ring. Donald Trump is the leader of the MAGA brand of the Republican Party and has admitted to spying on naked underage girls and grabbing random women by their genitalia. Remember that when you vote. Don’t let them let you forget. Do not allow the Data Centers owned by people like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Vladimir Putin to drown out our truth. Spread the word often and loud.

It absolutely matters more in red state. My vote for a Democrat in a Democrat stronghold isn't going to change a thing and if I withhold my vote, they're still likely going to win. More often than not, a red state is just a state where not enough people are actively voting
