It seems obvious, but half the country thinks Harris controls weather machines and hits Florida with hurricanes for some reason. They show up and vote, because they believe this nonsense deeply.
Please acknowledge the threat and act accordingly. If you are in a swing state, please vote for the rest of us. Your vote matters so very much.
It's not half. It's a minority in this country. It SEEMS like half cause the electoral college is a moronic system.
It's actually pretty close to half. According to Pew polls of people in the US, (not just voters or likely voters), about 40% identify as right of center. About 35% identify as left of center. The other 25% identify as moderates or independents.
there was an interview where a woman said something to the effect of "they're controlling the weather and letting the hurricane hit red districts because they can't rig the election otherwise". like yeah hacking motherfucking weather is somehow easier than hacking ballots.
That was a Good Liars interview. They get spectacularly crazy quotes from people at Trump rallies, which I'm sure is not difficult.
That was also a member of the House of Representatives saying that, because we live in an insane world.
Then there are tens of millions of people who cannot complain about what happens next. Death of democracy in the USA ? "Well I didn't vote for them" Wife/mother/sister/cousin/friend died due to pregnancy related complications? "well I didn't vote for them" Etc.etc.
There is never a party you 100% agree with. If there is then you are probably guilty of blindly following. Your job as a voter is to express your opinion whether by writing to your representative, protesting or simply voting. Then hold them to account when they don't follow through or do something you don't like.
Don't let them tell you what you want. Tell them what you want.
