If you vote in North Carolina, you're going to see this on your ballot. Looks pretty straightforward, right?

But it's a trap placed by the GOP. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Voting "For" this referendum will remove the phrase "and every person who has been naturalized" from this section on voter eligibility in the NC constitution. This could place the future voting rights of about 400,000 naturalized US citizens in the state in jeopardy.

Just a reminder - it's already illegal for non-citizens to vote! There's no evidence that this happens in significant numbers anywhere in the country, and North Carolina has restrictions in place against it happening at all, like the voter ID law that's now in effect.

(The voter ID law disproportionately affects POC, as well as transgender voters, both of whom are more likely to vote Democratic as well as lack the needed ID, but that's another post.)

Voting "Against" on this measure will leave the state constitution unchanged.

Ballotpedia was extremely useful to me in looking up propositions; as it gave a lot of information on the propositions, most significantly who was opposed and pro each one as well as their reasoning.

I don't know if this will be useful for your state, but in my personal experience of voting by mail in Arizona, it was a great tool.

I simply search for Arizona Proposition # in Ballotpedia's search bar and then clicked on the proposition.

there are enough tumblr users who can vote in US battleground states to literally swing the election, do you realize that?? the election is going to come down to like 80’000 votes in those states — that could be your vote! so if you live in pennsylvania, georgia, arizona, nevada, north carolina, wisconsin, michigan, etccc your vote is going to make a huge, huge difference. please for the love of god vote (and if you live in a different state, you still need to vote too)

[dancinbutterfly]

This.

Georgia early voting is open. The lines are short and move fast. You will be in and out in 10 minutes.

Just stop on your way home or to the store. You can do it. I promise.

[liberalsarecool]

Register. Check your registration. Help others register. Vote early if you want. Vote by mail if you want. Vote on Nov 5 if you want.

Stay engaged. We can do this!

We are not going back.

With Kamala/Walz going up DAILY, I've seen more people talking about voting third party/Jill Stein (EW) and I believe the above screencaps from @three--rings can explain WHY Third Party votes NEVER work NOR is this the election to screw around in.

Everyone....like she says above.....PLEASE LEARN FROM HISTORY!!!

(Because if Trump gets in, he's NEVER LEAVING).

[creature-wizard]

Whatever happens, two things remain true: 1. Trump might be distancing himself from Project 2025, but his Agenda 47, which is on his website, is basically the same thing. 2. Third party voting is useless without ranked choice voting; it's mathematically impossible to elect a third party candidate. DO NOT SPLIT THE VOTE.

[raptorific]

I just want everyone to remember that Donald Trump has spent the last several weeks mocking and berating everybody who suggested Biden step aside because the republicans really did not want to run against someone other than Joe Biden. They have no plan, no playbook, no protocol, for running against someone other than Joe.

If you're feeling defeatist right now, please just understand that the Trump Campaign Strategy People are having the worst, most stressful day of the campaign as they scramble to figure out how to beat somebody who isn't Biden in November. Their ace in the hole was a hunk of Kryptonite up their sleeve and now they find out they won't be fighting Superman. THAT is the mood of today.

[raan-miir-tah]

You motherfuckers yes I hate Kamala too but when she is announced to be the Democratic candidate we are all going to shoot fireworks and go to the goddamn polls

[raan-miir-tah]

GRIPPING EVERYBODY’S SHOULDERS SO TIGHTLY RIGHT NOW. YOU WILL VOTE FOR HARRIS. YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS NO MORAL WAY TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE US AND YOU WILL STILL VOTE TO STRATEGICALLY PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

[weirdmageddon]

i am so serious remember what is actually at stake. zoom your perspective out.

do not fuck up this opportunity. for the love of god PLEASE get over your petty shit that means jack shit in the grand scheme of things. remember, anything kamala harris could do would be the same thing but a million times worse with trump. republican party are showing they are 100% ready to implement project 2025 on entry to the oval office. women queer poc disabled homeless people are all going to be taken under. civil liberties and climate change and federal regulations too, and don’t forget having nuclear access. are you seriously staking your gripes about attorney general copperness on a literal christofascist tech broligarchy dictatorship lead by a geriatric twice-impeached convicted felon with a cult of personality that would actively make the quality of life for everyone so much worse? do you really want that? and don’t forget the global destabilization it would have. the US is a global superpower and what happens here affects the rest of the world. do you really want that?

Often, a single leader became associated with this revolutionary transformation and came to be treated as a benevolent "guide" for the nation without whom the claimed transformation to a better future could not occur. Generally, this has been the justification for personality cults that arose in totalitarian societies, such as those of Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany, Joseph Stalin of the USSR, Kim Il Sung, his son Kim Jong Il, and currently ruling grandson Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, Mao Zedong of the People’s Republic of China and Hafez al-Assad of Syria, whose son Bashar al Assad currently rules the country.

this election is where the timelines split. if there ever was a time for this bullshit, it’s especially NOT right fucking now. every politician has skeletons in the closet. weigh the scales of how insignificant it is right now. get fucking real and open your eyes to the big picture of what’s at stake. virtue signalling is not the objective priority right now. stop trying to make us fucking lose. that shit is part of the reason why the democratic party has been so weak in recent years. yes we all deserve better but realistically in order to even have that opportunity we need to act smart in times like this. inaction is not neutral action either.

also harris could absolutely demolish trump in a debate. he looks like an absolute buffoon next to her. trump is the old fart now. she is going to appear a lot more reasonable. as a leader she has so much going for her against him. she actually has charisma whereas joe really didn’t. conservatives were really staking their win on biden being sleepy joe and losing supports among dems. check this out: his nickname for her is laughing kamala. really? people hate laughing?

[spinelessdemsandwhinyrepublicans]

Me, too! And you can't convince me otherwise.

[inthemidstofbuddie]

i really hope y’all realize how important it now will be to get out there and fucking vote to ensure trump does not get re-elected. that shooter just basically handed him the election. the only thing that will stop him now is if enough people stop pussyfooting about voting. do not let this be what puts him back in the white house bc if he gets back in there? you know what’s coming.

[kajedheat]

I just want to point out that assassination attempts don’t usually lead to a boost in votes. Reagan was an outlier. Hell, Teddy Roosevelt was shot, FINISHED HIS SPEECH like a strongman badass, and still lost to his opponent.

Do not lose hope, but also vote for Biden (or whoever the Dem is in November) like your life depends on it.

[marzipanandminutiae]

reblogging this comment for anyone else who needs a sliver of hope tonight

[ariaste]

"that shooter just basically handed him the election" This is the devil speaking. Do not let the devil in your heart. The only thing that HANDS Trump the election is the failure of people to show up and vote because they think it's pointless and a waste of time because they have already lost.

We have not already lost. We are months away from the election. Register to vote, get your friends registered to vote, and then go vote. I don't want to hear any of this "But i don't like Biden" stuff. You don't have to like him. Liking him is in fact irrelevant. You are voting for his staff. You are voting for the fact that he's not a face-eating leopard. You are voting for "i like voting and I would like to continue having a country where I get to do that".

You are voting for "No Thanks, Cheeto Goblin". idk about you but i am very enthusiastic about voting for "No Thanks, Cheeto Goblin" actually

[ladydedlock]

dear USAmericans,

VOTING WORKS!!!

French people showed up, French people voted, turnout was higher today than it has been since 1997, and we kicked the far right to 3rd place

a week ago, the far right was the biggest party in France, we were slated for a far right parliament, prime minister, and government

this week, we voted against them en masse and we won!

VOTING WORKS!

you're up next in November! it's very rare we get to say this, but this one time, take example on the French! show up and vote!

because VOTING WORKS!

[thebad---catholic]

Anti-voting rhetoric will be the death of the left. Literally.

Not a single fucking Republican voted to protect roe. It was fucking overturned in the first place bc trump got three Supreme Court appointments.

Every fucking thing wrong in this country is almost certainly the result of Republicans being in power. In 2020, Texas cut half of the polling places in black neighborhoods, and doubled them in white ones, regardless of population. It was Republicans bitching about mail in voting, and constantly, constantly fearmonger about voter fraud. Literally, their platform is about making civil rights harder to practice.

Would you like to know why? It’s because Republican politicians know better than anyone that higher voter participation means higher republican loss.

But what do I see from the online left, champions of the oppressed?

“Voting doesn’t do anything, the parties are the same, the system is rigged, etc, etc”

Don’t sit here and tell me you give a fuck about marginalized people if you aren’t ready to march your ass to the voting booth and vote out the party actively stripping their rights away.

Protest, donate, community build, unionize, and vote, vote, vote.

By the time direct action is the only option, it will be too fucking late.

[headspace-hotel]

If voting didn't do anything, nobody would be trying to stop you from doing it

[prof-grace-aspen]

Look.

I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.

People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".

These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.

If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.

[catboymistyquigley-deactivated2]

if you want to vote for a third party, what you are going to do is vote for biden in november 2024 and then as soon as that’s done, start trying to get ranked choice voting in your state

we will ALWAYS be a two party system until voting reform happens, and voting reform won’t happen if project 2025 happens.

suck it up and vote biden, then put the next four years to good use
