So there's going to be a general election

There is going to be a general election in the UK on the 4th July.

You can register to vote here. It should take five minutes. ⬇⬇⬇

Register to vote

Get on the electoral register so you can vote in elections and referendums.

You will be asked for your national insurance number, but you can still register if you don't have one. Your national insurance number will be on any payslips or tax forms if you're not sure what it is.

If you are voting in person, you will need photo ID. If you do not have photo ID, you can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate FOR FREE. To apply, you'll need a recent digital photo of yourself and proof of your identity.

Apply for a Voter Authority Certificate here ⬇⬇⬇

If you are unable to vote in person, you can apply for a postal vote HERE or apply for a proxy vote (where someone else votes on your behalf) HERE.

Listen. I hope I’m wrong. I hope in 1-3 days you all can point at this post and be like “look at this idiot for being paranoid.” I do. But I feel like the writing’s on the wall. There are no paths forward without Pennsylvania, and that gap is too large.

I hope the non-voters are happy. Legitimately. I hope the Green Party is happy. For real. I hope this outcome brings them the joy they hoped it would. I hope they don’t come to regret the next 2-4 years. I hope they’re at peace.

I hope Europe isn’t forced to change their stance on Ukraine like many Prime Ministers have warned they would. I hope there are Palestinians left in Gaza to liberate after Trump “finishes the job” and gets his real estate property. I hope the number of queer folk killed, whether individually or systematically, in the coming years is minimal. I hope the number of women killed by inaccessibility to medical care is minimal. I hope the number of disabled people who face financial hard times is minimal. I hope we genuinely can cruise through these next 4 years. I hope I’m still around to try and fix this in 2-4 years.

I hope the message the non-voters and Green Party sent is actually received. I hope they didn’t send the message to Democrats that conservatism is the way to win and what we should be embracing.

I hope that nothing in Project 2025 is completed. I hope we win at least one branch to throw a stick in the gears of fascism. I hope Trump bombs his second term so poorly that 2026 wipes the GOP out of the House and Senate.

I hope there’s still a global superpower to fix in 4 years. I hope that the corruption we’ve allowed to thrive tonight doesn’t infect our neighbors across the Atlantic like they fear it will.

I still hope for a better future. But I don’t believe that future is going to happen this time. I’m going to try to go to bed.

If you are a voter in Georgia, please check your registration consistently as the election approaches.

The Secretary of State has launched a program that allows people to cancel registrations. Including other people's registrations. They can do so with only your name, date of birth, and county.

In Georgia, you have until 29 days before the election to register or re-register if you were purged.
