Hopefully now with less downvotes.

Oops. I made it in a hurry so I used Kamala instead of Harris. Just now noticed. Is it worth a reupload?

You need to vote for Kamala even if you are in a Blue State. It's only Blue because your neighbors do all the work.

Also states change colors all the times, so voting there is similarly important. California for example voted Republican in 80s.

If you are in red state if you don't vote it will never turn blue and in blue state of you don't vote it can turn red.

I would vote no matter what (assuming I am legally allowed to vote). You have lots of local elections and initiatives that are also on the ballot, plus what if depressed participation causes more "safe" blue states to swing in the wrong direction? Less margin means Trump will challenge the integrity of the election and try to declare he is the winner in more places.

Preferred to the original.

But real thing should be. Vote, it won’t change much, but it’s a start. If you truly believe in change, you should be doing much more, but never let go of the right to vote.

I thought about making a post with that quote but decided against it. Feel free to make one yourself. This community is in need of someone else to contribute as well.

Do not ignore the election if you're in blue state. Your vote absolutely counts towards the overall election.

The president isn't the only one on the ticket either. There are also your state, county, and city elections on the ballot, as well as any law deciding yeah/nah votes.

Not voting, or throwing away your vote with someone random, only adds garbage to the end results.

Garbage systems should get garbage results.

If you only read the last few words, and completely ignore everything else I wrote... sure?

[-] Val@lemm.ee -2 points 1 week ago

I read everything else. That was the only thing I had a response to.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

There is no law that says you need to respond to everything.

[-] Val@lemm.ee -1 points 1 week ago

That's why I didn't respond to everything. I responded to the thing I had a response to.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

It's better to let them think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove it.

[-] Val@lemm.ee 0 points 1 week ago

If you never open your mouth they'll never know who you are. Who knows, you might become friends.
