I bet they’re not going to “slow” using their salary direct-deposit funds, or their juicy benefits, or the many, many perks of being a Senator.
We have 100 Senators, the political elite of the country, and HALF of them are 100% WORTHLESS!
A few years ago I ran a poll on Reddit asking this very question (knowing the demographics were then a majority of under-30 males), and the overwhelming majority based their lack of participation on inconvenience. It was just too damn much trouble to mark & submit a ballot. Many wondered why they couldn’t vote by phone (comparing voting to banking apps that are considered to be secure).
I know it’s anecdotal and unscientific, but I did get a large response. The 18-25 demo has also the lowest turnout.
With everything he’s said,
And everything he’s done,
And all we know of his lack of character and proven criminality,
And all that he and his thugs have in store for America,
WE CANNOT LET HIM WIN IN NOVEMBER!

Between the media’s pigheaded refusal to report unvarnished, unbiased FACTS, the uncontrolled marketing & usage of AI, foreign power misinformation bots, the apparent inability of any Republican or GOP media to speak the truth, and Trump’s incoherent and relentless lies, we don’t know anymore what is factual & what is MAGA’s magical thinking.
Pres. Biden’s Administration has racked up remarkable achievements since his inauguration, but millions of Americans are grimly unaware and will vote accordingly.
🚨We have a responsibility to tell the truth about Democrats’ agenda & Pres. Biden’s accomplishments.
🚨We have a responsibility to tell the truth about Trump’s plans to destroy our democracy, beginning with the US Constitution.
They were never "losers" or "suckers." They were great human beings who chose a hard path for many different reasons. They loved their country. They made sacrifices for the person on their left and right.
A person who doesn't even attempt to understand that bond should never be Commander in Chief. #MemorialDay
Trump has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.
We all know there isn’t a patriotic gene or bone in the Trump clan.
TFG’s quotes about Rep. John McCain and others who served honorably & heroically in the US military are widely known - “losers and suckers” sums up his regard for those who didn’t have “bone spurs” and gave their years, health & lives for our country.
🚨PLEASE don’t let this despicable coward act again as Commander in Chief.
🚨PLEASE do all you can in these FIVE REMAINING MONTHS to re-elect Pres. Biden, whose respect, compassion and patriotism are genuine.

@DemocracyMattersALot
These pathetic people are so mired in their greed they’ve lost complete sight of all morality, patriotism, humanity — and even their self-interest is ridiculously misplaced as an authoritarian/fascist government will destroy the economy on whose teat they suck.
Joe Biden has to deal with what I call the “inversion of reality” and “delusions of gloom.” Polls show voters are badly misinformed—often the opposite of the truth—on key issues that makes them systematically pessimistic—and the media is partly to blame. https://www.forkingpaths.co/p/joe-biden-and-the-inversion-of-reality
“…partly to blame”
?????????
The media are WHOLLY TO BLAME!
Pres. Biden has not been given the credit nor support for his astounding accomplishments these entire 3-1/2 years.
The reason people are “badly misinformed” is due precisely to the lack of info from credible sources, while the same media reported every burp & fart by Fucko.
We’re given tedious reporting on every word of each Trump rally, tantrum, grandstanding whining — and ZIP on the beneficial differences Pres. Biden has made for everyday Americans.
If, as reported today, a majority of Americans think we’re in a recession caused by Biden when unemployment rates and wages have reached historic low’s & highs respectively, then the MEDIA has failed, not the president.
We need a flood of TRUTH by the entire media if we are to save this country.
JUST A FRIENDLY FYI FOR THOSE POSTING POLITICAL MEMES:
I’ve noted MANY Fedi accounts who have stated they will NOT boost photos that do not include alt-text descriptions.
I also see a LOT of political memes (with excellent & often critical messages) that don’t have alt-text.
PLEASE take the minute or so to include these descriptions. We need all the exposure we can get & memes are a popular & effective aid to communication.
THANK YOU! 😊
(Note: I post a lot of memes & keep pre-typed alt-text descriptions for each in Apple notes so it’s a simple copy/paste procedure when tooting.)
4 months after the #FBI raided #MarALago, Trump’s attys discovered 4 docs marked #classified in his personal bedroom.
That revelation was among several cited by US District Judge Beryl Howell in a newly unsealed 2023 opinion that found prosecutors had presented compelling #evidence that #Trump#knowingly stashed #NationalSecurity docs in his home & then tried to conceal them when the #DOJ tried to retrieve them.
It honestly drives me to the brink of depression that half the American electorate barely knows where Russia is, let alone has the capacity to understand what a president beholden to them (a second time) would be like. I feel like I live in a bad horror movie.
@shoq
We’re all in that same horror movie. I started a post last week listing all the truly awful things occurring concurrently in the world right now then deleted it as it was just too damn depressing.
The worst part is recognizing all the crap but not really being able personally to effect any solution. The one thing we can do that can make a difference is work to get out the blue vote for every elected office/seat.
Voter turnout has not reached 70% in over 100 years. It’s CRITICAL we #GOTV in 2024.
@rbreich
If someone made a mix tape of Trump’s worst hits, where would these rank?
😱 killing the Earth for an election win
😱killing thousands due to COVID mismanagement & malevolence
😱separating migrant families without a reunification plan
😱conspiring to form & inciting an insurrection to overthrow valid election results
😱playing footsie with the Russian dictator for power & monetary gain
😱nixing the Iran nuclear deal
😱engineering overturn of Roe through a corrupt SCOTUS
😱blatantly announcing intent to rule as dictator
😱decimating the rule of law
😱supporting racism on every level
@andrewjweinstein
It feels to me as though far too many of us just reject truths that have the potential of any impending disaster.
We didn’t want to believe the facts of COVID transmission and just stopped masking & limiting activities.
We don’t want to consider what #climatecatastophe will actually be like in all its horror, which is directly related to mega-corporations & Republicans in power.
We are ignoring the FACT of Trump’s fascism & what his Project 25 will mean to our daily lives.
We act as though there is a viable choice in November, when there’s only one sane act: re-electing Pres. Biden. We’ve perfected denial and it’s going to kill us in so many ways.
“This is news but it’s hardly unexpected..." Joyce Vance wrote. “Judge Cannon seems desperate to avoid trying this case. This isn’t justice. defendants aren’t the only ones with speedy trial act rights, we the people have them too.”
“After the election,” professor of law and former chief White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter commented, “if Trump wins Jack Smith gets fired, the case gets dismissed, and Judge Cannon is ready for SCOTUS.”
Turnout, even in presidential election years has not reached 70% in 100 years. Districts have been gerrymandered into Republican oblivion, voting rights have been decimated by MAGA-GOP courts, and Gaza is taking a toll on Dem approval.
We have six months to save democracy, to save America.

Respectfully, with fascism a given if Trump wins, it’s not enough to encourage people to “vote in November.”
Turnout is NEVER over 70%, even in presidential election years. We — all of us — must work the vote & donate to Democratic candidates & activist organizations.
