This is a really well done video on the stakes of this election

To those who say "they've been telling us this is the most important election of our lives since 2016" - yeah no shit.
We've been steadily watching the GOP get increasingly fascistic while many don't care.

Red and Blue, they don't give a damn about me and you.
Every toxic "both are the same" need to really get their heads examined.
Reality is often weirder than fiction.
Legal Eagle hasn't ever endorsed anyone.
I think he's a republican.
He provides a insightful logic to WHY it's this important, this time.
November 6th is too late to find out.
"... No. I think the 'Most important election of your life' was back in 2016. [sic.] And ... you're going to continue to hear that until 'Tumpism' fades."
We will never be done until they are.
What we need is more partyes.
Ditch the Democrats vs Republicans.
Why only millionares are presidents?
And you might not get another chance to have a vote that matters.
In any case, I don't believe anyone with half a brain would consider either abstaining or voting Republican to be better than the alternative.
What do you recommend people should do?
Abstain from voting?
Nobody asking you to vote is telling you that's all they want you to do, they're asking the bare minimum.
Voting for Kamala Harris is one of the easiest votes I've ever cast
The Harris/Walz ticket, and more accurately with both of their track records, is probably the closest a ticket has come to my politics in my lifetime, likely all the way back to FDR.
DEMS ARE INVOLVED IN A GENOCIDE WE HAVE TROOPS ON THE GROUND HELPING NOW

no wonder youre so lost
The time to get an alternative is over. Do you want Trump? Cuz thats who we get instead.
guard against dissenters.
I’ll continue writing to my politicians that are less likely to do that and make sure Donald J Trump doesn’t win Georgia. Take care.
Horseshoe theory is real, and you're a direct example of it :P
So I direct the same question to you, what exactly do you suggest then for Americans this election?
Trump will NOT be better for *ANYONE*. He'll likely even turn on his supporters at some point.
You have a first past the post system, there are only two choices, one is OBJECTIVELY a better choice if you care about maximizing welfare.
I don't think we should bring political discussion here. That's how X started going down in quality.
To each their own, that's just my opinion.
The bots, the cheapening of verification, and inconsistent rule enforcement are the issue, not people arguing about what matters to them.
It's freaking tragic.
Hopefully we can all vote enough to make up for their ignorance.
Truly, I'm sick of it. No one likes having to make a choice between who to save, but you're asking me to.
Philosophers have always talked about absolutism versus utilitarianism.
If there is no red line for genocide then are there any? What could outweigh it and why?
A presidential vote in the US system is not endorsement. It's about choosing the best of 2 options, or sometimes the less shitty option.
If you think it's ok to vote for her you would, I hope, think something offsets the great moral failing of supporting genocide. It's negotiable.
Also:
And that's that.
They are a colonial power modeled on the US. Our extermination of natives are their blueprint for the Palestinians. Our political cover keeps them free of repercussions, and our money buys the bombs.
It's almost like I actually have conflicting interest in my brain and I have to pick between them.
“Yep. That’s me. I’m doing it. I’m doing the genocide. Yay genocide.”
These people frustrate me more than actual conservatives do.
"Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

"Such determinations are rare, but not unprecedented, when administrations see an urgent need for weapons to be delivered without waiting for lawmakers’ approval."
It's almost as if either 1) ALL elections are important, or 2) Elections patch problems rather than fixing them. Take your pick.
The Presidential Election is only one piece of the puzzle, and yet people act like it'll somehow magically fix everything overnight, when there's so much more that needs to be done.
Now, I have seen enough evidence to show that laws don't matter at all as long as you are rich and evil
Then you face no consequences and nobody will even attempt to stop you
Plus, the Democrats have made no efforts to prevent this from continuing
It will just happen again in 2028
No. So we need to accept that democracy is already dead or going to die at this point and we need to start getting ready to figure out how we are going to build a functioning democracy.
The U.S. is like Twitter.
It might still be around (sort of), but it has failed. Accept, mourn, and start working toward building something that hasn't.
And this could change if Trump wins. Even if there is a 0.1% chance of fascism - it's too risky. And this time, like in 2016, chances are much higher.
The bad news is that Vance is an actually competent Nazi.

- the rest of the fucking world.
Voting for Harris is necessary.
that and turn everything into a product, even survival for some people (healthcare I'm looking at you)
Where I believe they have moved rightward is on immigration policy. However, if you're not paying attention to the work the FTC has been doing, or the industrial policy being executed...
Dems are floating taxing unrealized capital gains. That's a big shift.
There are a ton of low information voters out there who believe the propaganda that the economy is always better under Republicans, like Trump's assholery, and aren't even aware of all the stuff highlighted in that video.
They must be fought against.
"...the economy seems to do better under Democrats. It SHOULDN'T be that way..."

I wish the government were more forthright with the extent of the disinformation campaign from foreign governments. but even then it would be dismissed as weaponizing of government. 😭
And frankly, if you're still on the "both parties" train, may I remind you you are not immune from propaganda. Yes, you.
And Elon, in this metaphor, is the rich guy not using any public transport, but driving his cybertruck or flying his personal cyberplane?

But he got there in the end!
(ugh...)
I've been told by my friends, It won't be that bad ...
I have been told, that's not gonna happen. But then January 6th came.
This Election will be turning out SO TIGHT again, that the GOP will claim foul Play. Now new President will be nominated until the Legal Battles are over.
And those Battles Trump will win, because the Judicial System is running his flag.
GO OUT AND VOTE FFS! Or this will be the last Election the USofA will ever be holding.
Candidate proudly has a Glock and talks about it. lol
所谓的：“经一事，长一智。”
the US has witnessed a trump presidency, and as a global superpower it cannot afford to witness it again
therefore, please vote left.
The myth of DT being a successful businessman probably was single-handedly built by „The Apprentice“. In which everything was scripted and fake.
AND you get better politics, with Harris, who is really ambitioned.
Vote, vote, vote!
Tell others, help others!
Polls are open now in many states!
I you vote, and help 1 other person that also votes and helps 1 other person… 🌊
Or help 2! 3!
Totally, possibly on purpose, ignoring the fact that they're all priviledged white cishet men

By recognizing minorities exist as important parts of society, by listening to them.
By hope, by recognizing made progress and looking towards even more.
By positive vibes! Let‘s do this together!
These people are dangrous.
That's really the mindset of these fanatics.

Of course a lot of other stuff too, that's just the first that comes to mind
Democrats are trying their best to win the elections with the power of fear.
Now why do YOU think Donald Trump and Viktor Orbán is comparable to Nazis?
"You don't want to vote for the lesser of two evils? WHY THE FUCK NOT?! Do you want the GREATER of two evils to win?"
Com'n bud
✌️
Can we complain about that or do you have another poor metaphor that is inapplicable?
meanwhile i sit here unable to do so due to being part of groups actively being marginalized.
