Election Night Is Going to Take All Week. That’s Democracy at Work
I don't care much about rightoid accusations that the election was stolen but it's impossible to not go when seeing these titles
How are democrats so good at shooting themselves in the foot, seriously?

Congratulations on those voting today in what are possibly the last free elections in America.
Props to the Democrats for letting it happen on their watch in the naive belief that the GOP still values democracy, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Imagen voting for the party that is pro stripping womens rights
That supports denying LGBTQ healthcare and basic human rights
Imagen being that trash of a human being
I can't Imagen looking at a party like that and saying they are the best option
the question is where? I'm thinking of leaving my country where our kind of republicans in in power for 10 years and the question is where to go? I speak English as a second language, but in case you haven't noticed, the living standard and situation in countries that speak English as a native language has gone pretty much to shit, and not one of them is particularly suitable for a comfortable mid class living anymore.
USA - capitalism won. whoever is in power, the prices will rise and housing is too expensive, healthcare and education only for the rich, streets are PvP, racial war in progress, civil war incoming.
Canada - winter, housing is incredibly expensive, winter, uncapable government that is eroding living standard you want to escape from will result in the right probably getting in power power soon and then it will probably be USA v2.0 only with shitty climate.
UK - they shot themselves in the head, unliveable in the forecastable future
South Africa - yeah, right, I'll pass
Gibraltar, Malta - N/A
Australia - everything is out to kill you, rising housing and living costs, unfriendly to immigrants, also crisis
New Zealand - most expensive housing in the world, yes Shire is there, but also Mordor, maybe paradise for rich, but not enough housing and jobs for the immigrant mid class
Are you serious? The Republican party platform in Texas alone, explicitly includes: claiming the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent, holding a referendum on secession next year, abolishing gay marriage, advocacy for an official state position that homosexuality is an "abnormal lifestyle choice", abolition of no-fault divorce, removing law school as a requirement for attorneys, abolishing all federal agencies, opposing all pandemic measures including contact tracing, declassified carbon dioxide as a pollutant, supporting school faculty (state employees) delivering religious messaging, repeal of minimum wage laws, repeal of Dodd-Frank, repeal of Sarbanes-Oxley, abolishing the Endangered Species Act, and labeling evolution and climate change specifically as challengable scientific theories for the purposes of education. And that's just some of it.
Every election feels like a near miss on the US’ democracy. Today is no different. Radicalized right wingers trying desperately to take governorships. State and federal senate and house seats. Supreme Court positions, and even school counsels.
If you don’t vote today, you’re complicit. Like the German in the 1940’s who thought everything was overblown until he saw his a neighboring Jewish family he’d known for decades drug into the streets with their adolescent children and thrown in the back of a wagon, never to be seen again.
If you don’t think it could happen again, that it could happen here, they’ve already defeated you.
In Ohio - voted for my new husband, for my dogs and cats, for my fellow Americans saddened by the state of affairs, for my friends in the other side of the aisle too ignorant to know they’re darning their own futures.
Let’s hope. Only after we vote though — vote, vote, vote, then hope.
What are the odds the R’s appoint Trump as speaker of the house and then impeach everyone?
I really wanna know why smart people vote republican
Are they are only thinking about their own lives
Do they sreslly not care about anyone else but themselves
Maybe I'm strange but I could not vote for s party I knew would do things like ban abortion take away gay marriage make it legal to abuse LGBTQ kids
I couldn't see myself as a good person and vote for that party
One thing to note is that this will be the first federal election since COVID vaccines and boosters came out.
I try to make a point of sitting down with each question on a ballet and researching it as best I can ahead of voting but every time a voting day comes up I wish I’d spent more time on it.
Also I’ve been listening to people all around blithely give snap opinions on the way they’re voting after hearing a surface level explanation of the issues skewed by whoever is talking and it having not taken the time to look it up ahead.
Imagine doing homework every time you vote
this fricking complete dunce being interviewed on CNN is like 'i'm glad people have different opinions'
Dear America,
I'm hearing Republicans plan to turn you into a fascist theocracy today. Allow me to remark that scares me a bit. I sincerely hope your decent citizens go out in droves today to vote for Democratic candidates. May they find the strength to lift their lazy asses and vote blue no matter who. The past nearly two years have been a much-needed return to stability and normalcy. Even if the pandemic had noticeable consequences for everyday life until early this year and there is no end in sight to the largest war on this continent since 1945.
Many of us would appreciate if that stability and normalcy could be turned into a long-term thing.
Vote
Dear timeMag, fo. Instead of spreading FEARMONGERING for clickstm , why not publish slogans that give courage, such as, “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself”. You know, sacrifice a few clicks/$00.0000001 and give Democracy a boost instead.
Frick yeah. "Look, neither party represents me" or "divided government is best" or "I'm just tired of the all the fighting, why can't people compromise".
B-word, one party openly runs candidates calling for me to be fricking executed. What the frick compromise am I supposed to be for? "Let's just jail all the LGBTQ folks?"
Voted yes on my state proposal to enshrine rights. Both of us, like a month ago by mail.
Calling it now: win or lose today, Fetterman will win the 2024 presidential election.
Imagine a party destroying people’s rights and taking abortion rights away and threatening fundamental rights and destroying the planet and still voting for them because “mUh gAs pRiceS” and “BrEad tOo eXpEnsiVe.”
Hope having cheaper food and more gas to destroy the environment is worth it 🙄
Occasionally, chuds find their way in blue ecochambers...
"We won’t know all the midterm results on election night. That’s normal."
Why are they rigging the election results again? Isnt that proof of fraud enough?
Ah yes, gotta look out for all those GOP riots we've seen throughout history...
MSNBC tomorrow - "This was the most corrupt election in American history. Democracy is dead."
Finally, some rightoid seethe!
Can't add more text, hope you guys liked it!

I've always loved "Republicans are taking away your rights" by, uhh... stuff that is blown out of proportion and only affects a couple dozen people nationwide, or transfers decision back to a given state for abortion rights.
Meanwhile it totally wasn't taking away rights when Democrats wanted to restrict literally everyone from having a normal life, and even moreso if you didn't give up bodily autonomy.

I just got back from the polls. One interesting thing is the county board election here. All of the candidates appear in one list and you are allowed to vote for 7 of them. Republicans ran exactly 7 candidates for the position, Age of consent abolitionists 2, and the Democrats ran ELEVEN people.
The Democrats are going to split the vote so much that they might not get a single person on the board. That's a pretty big oversight.
Close to true. Bill Clinton (and some Dem governors) pardoned/commuted to time served literal terrorists who attempted to bring down the US government and their fellow Democrats IMMEDIATELY gave them jobs teaching at prestigious universities. That's not even hyperbole. That's a dry, factual description of what happened, but no one's even mentioned it since 2008.
