It’s true. I voted. Did all my fellow Americans also vote today or earlier?
I did my part
We thank you for your cooperation, citizen.
o7
Thank you.
lol. Thanks to a few pointed reminders right here on Lemmy, I got myself to the polls to cast my vote. Thanks y’all.
Good job!
Unless you voted for fascists, in which case, fuck you. ;-)
I voted early.
I think electoralism is a tool with limitations but I also think we can’t afford to use all available tools to protect people. Even if its just harm reduction, we have an obligation to the people whose heads are on the chopping block.
Protect your community. Go vote and then go get involved in organizing.
Exactly. Voting is a necessary part, but not the only part. :)
This is the correct answer! Thanks for voting, and if he doesn’t accept, the next steps will be less non-violent
Not this shit again. Present-day Americans couldn’t violently revolt their way out of a Walmart. Conservatives are too fat and lazy and liberals could never agree on an ethically pure approach.
I went in person, armed as promised. Didn’t expect any MAGA fuckery since this is a red county, but not taking chances.
Got it done and hated it as never before. I’m looking at my fellow citizens and thinking, “Are you enemy?” And I’m sure many thought this middle-aged white guy was MAGA. It’s fucking awful that America is in such a place.
I also hate that I had to thoughtlessly vote straight D. At this point I wouldn’t vote R for fucking dog catcher. Didn’t vote on Florida Supreme Court Judges, voted for both half cent sales taxes, fucked up and didn’t study the second proposition, voted for largely dropping property taxes, may regret that in the future.
Not as offtopic as it’ll initially sound: Few years ago I found a greek fisherman’s hat that came in several colours. I own nearly ten of them and most days I wear one. I have a red one. I’m careful when and where i wear it because I don’t want MAGA assumptions.
MAGA has ruined patriotism, the flag, the color red. grrrr
Won’t wear or display an American flag in anyway except upside down. Only flags I got are Defend Equality pins.
Got a free Under Armour red hat, very nice, had my wife sell it at the flea market.
Bought a Same Shit Different Hat shirt, got two MAGA compliments, until they looked again, “Oh. uh…” Can’t wear that now.
Idk, there’s something so joyous about wearing liberty briefs and farting
hahaha, that last one is hilarious. d’oh.
I keep meaning to get some pins for the red hat that make it SUPER fucking clear what the hat is not. heh. But ADHD means it’ll take me a while longer to get around to it :)
Sad to read you had to go like that, but thanks for voting!
Sad to read they thought they had to.
When there is an unopposed R, I write in a name.
Like what name though
It varies, unless there is an active write-in opposition, I like to keep it interesting: Frodo Baggins, Kenny Powers, Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, Jerry Garcia, etc.
Good to know, thanks. I only came up with Bugs Bunny after I left the building :/
Voted last week, just got the email that my ballot has been reviewed and counted!
You get emails for that? Thats pretty neat
Chicago Board of Elections doesn’t mess around!
We can sign up for email or text notification in Washington state
Same. Used a ballot drop box since they’ve been fucking with the postal service.
Me too!

Yep!
Voted a couple weeks ago, with help from the guides on Vote From Abroad. Actually filled out my ballot back in September, but it took a while for my adhd brain to scan it with my voter id and email it in. I remembered to follow up with the board of elections to get confirmation my vote was counted though— glad I did, I’d expect fuckery otherwise.
I voted a bit over a month ago (overseas voter).
Foreigner!!! :hisses:
;-)
I voted early but I lost my sticker :(
Yes. Most of my options were shit, but I did what I could anyway.
Dropped of my ballot for Abdul to the official drop box at city hall over the weekend.
I voted a couple of weeks ago. I happily voted a second time for my rep, Melanie Stansbury.
I’ve voted as far left as I could in every election since I was 18. That was 40+ years ago.
