Those who feel they have the most to gain from an unjust system are chomping at the bit to vote; those who have the most to lose from it are so exhausted & have been betrayed so many times that getting them to vote in ‘22 will be a huge challenge. Dangerous and toxic combination.

That’s why the focus must be on helping create more informed & enlightened citizens not just bringing better candidates into office. Nothing is wrong with the latter- if they & you have done the research to adequately assess the current power and monetary agendas. Which I doubt.

I am utterly shattered from the vile years of Trump - struggling to catch my breathe. My skin crawls at the suggestion of ‘we have to go out and fight like our lives depend on it’. My two cents 🤷‍♂️🙏😎🏳️‍🌈

What's more important than voting is how we treat politicians we elected. If we don't pressure them to implement what they promised, voting hardly matters.

Is requirement of basic education, intelligence, and citizenship to vote discrimination? Think!!

Do you feel the need to try and lead to electoral slaughter those who’ve chosen otherwise? Why? Anything to do with sheepdogging for the blue half of the one corporate war party you complain about while running cover for it?

Marianne: please run again. Even if you don’t win, we all win from simply hearing what you contribute

If Republicans and Democrats are both funded by wall street, big pharma, big AG, and the MIC you have no choice in voting, you aren't voting for anything. We need more parties, period. Not progressives inside these parties that does not work. Thanks bless u

The Republican Party has the benefit of a decades-old propaganda machine (Rush Limbaugh —> Fox News —> Qanon) and an unholy alliance with conservative religious institutions 1/
