The left SUCKS at recruiting people. And so many of you are part of the problem.

The talk about centrists and moderates being the literal devil I see constantly in online leftist spaces is one great example of the left's failure. Yes, it sucks when the people don't see how horrible the right is. But centrists are some of the most open people to discussion- and some already lean left!!

You can't demonize moderates to such an extent that you close yourself off to them and then wonder why you're losing swing states.

Centrists aren't even always people with all the privileges- you will find plenty of people who are part of marginalized groups who are concerned about politicians on all sides.

You can be a smol radical leftist bean all you want who only talks to other smol socialist and communist beans, but you're never going to make the difference you want to in the world that way. It's the cold, hard truth. It doesn't mean you have to engage in discourse with everyone- some people have no real hope of changing and are emotionally draining- just more than your bubble.

I am tired of the left eating itself alive and deranged people like Trump winning.

She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election.

How Leonard Leo's 2021 sale of an electronics firm enabled tech giants to subvert the 2024 election.

“Data that makes no statistical sense. A clean sweep in all seven swing states.

The fall of the Blue Wall. Eighty-eight counties flipped red—not one flipped blue.

Every victory landed just under the threshold that would trigger an automatic recount. Donald Trump outperformed expectations in down-ballot races with margins never before seen—while Kamala Harris simultaneously underperformed in those exact same areas.

If one were to accept these results at face value—Donald Trump, a 34-count convicted felon, supposedly outperformed Ronald Reagan. According to the co-founder of the Election Truth Alliance:

“These anomalies didn’t happen nationwide. They didn’t even happen across all voting methods—this just doesn’t reflect human voting behavior.”

They were concentrated.

Targeted.

Specific to swing states and Texas—and specific to Election Day voting.

And the supposed explanation? “Her policies were unpopular.”

Let’s think this through logically. We’re supposed to believe that in all the battleground states, Democratic voters were so disillusioned by Vice President Harris’s platform that they voted blue down ballot—but flipped to Trump at the top of the ticket?

Not in early voting.

Not by mail.

With exception to Nevada, only on Election Day.

And only after a certain threshold of ballots had been cast—where VP Harris’s numbers begin to diverge from her own party, and Trump’s suddenly begin to surge. As President Biden would say, “C’mon, man.”

In the world of election data analysis, there’s a term for that: vote-flipping algorithm.”

*If you recall ES&S voting machines gave Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham. All the swing states and Texas appear to have had their vote tallies tampered with.

My guilty pleasure.

Who would vote for Trump and then vote for Democrats in House/Senate? Or maybe they just didn't vote? If so, compare that trend of only voting for President and leaving the ballot blank to previous elections. Give context.

Also, if tabulation machines were hacked, a simple hand count of the ballots could help solve the mystery. Humor me and prove this wrong.

Interesting how quiet things are when all this could be investigated very easily.

Hey guys, I know I've been radio silent for awhile, but I could use your help getting this as far as it can go before the election.

These are the four swing states where you can still register to vote - North Carolina through Nov. 2nd, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada through Election Day. Most states' "same-day registration" options are very recent, and a lot of people don't know about them.

The QR codes on the first page link you to find your same-day registration location in that state.

The QR codes on the second page take you to info on same-day registration in each state. Definitely check them for full lists of acceptable registration documents.

And once again: Please make the pragmatic choice and vote Harris. We haven't done the work to give anyone other than Trump or Harris a real chance to win this election. I know it's frustrating to feel trapped in the two-party system, and Harris is no angel. Maybe we can work to escape this "lesser of two evils" cycle, but not this year, and we need a president who is NOT in mental decline and who HASN'T threatened to punish anyone who disagrees with him.

Hype up your left-leaning friends to go to the polls on Election Day. Thanks to a lot of recent legislation, it's not too late to make your voice heard until like 8pm (poll closing times dependent on locality) on November 5th in these and many non-swing states.

This is clearly NOT an issue of people voting third party.

This clearly IS an issue of people voting Republican.

Let's focus our time and energy where it is warranted by the facts.

To any blue voters in a red state/swing state afraid that their vote won't matter:

Back in summer, I spent a week at my grandpa's house, and he always has Fox News on. Every day, I had to listen to bigoted babies complain their asses off over every little thing they don't like and then call anyone that doesn't agree with them sensitive. They insisted that Trump was going to win, and made fun of Kamala any chance they could get. And honestly, I was starting to lose hope.

But once I got home it was like a breath of fresh air. Every other news channel agreed that Trump was crazy and needed to be kept out of office. The thing I've come to realize is, the Trump supporters in these red/swing states are going to suffocate you with the idea that Trump will win.

But in reality? This is no longer just "democrat vs republican", this is a case of good vs. evil. Trump is fucking insane, and luckily, a lot of republicans and past supporters are coming to realize what's actually at stake. I'm willing to bet you have more allies in your state than you feel.

You don't know yet how much of a difference your vote will make. This is one of the most important elections in history, and every vote matters, because any of them could end up tipping the scale in favor of blue.

Record number of early votes cast in Georgia as election gets underway in battleground state | CNN Politics

A record number of early votes have been cast in Georgia on Tuesday as residents headed to the polls in a critical battleground state that i

"A record number of early votes have been cast in Georgia on Tuesday [October 15, 2024] as residents headed to the polls in a critical battleground state that is grappling with the fallout from Hurricane Helene and controversial election administration changes that have spurred a flurry of lawsuits.

More than 328,000 ballots were cast Tuesday [October 15, 2024], Gabe Sterling of the Georgia secretary of state’s office said on X. “So with the record breaking 1st day of early voting and accepted absentees we have had over 328,000 total votes cast so far,” he said.

The previous first day record was 136,000 in 2020, Sterling said.

The swing state is one of the most closely watched this election, with former President Donald Trump trying to reclaim it after losing there to President Joe Biden by a small margin four years ago, leading Trump and his allies to unsuccessfully push to overturn his defeat.

Those efforts have loomed large this year as new changes to how the state conducts elections have been approved by Republican members of the State Election Board, leading Democrats and others to mount legal challenges, many of which have yet to be resolved even as Election Day nears.

Despite the massive turnout on Tuesday, the process appeared to go smoother this year for some Atlanta-area voters who spoke with CNN.

“Last time I voted, I voted in the city and the lines were out the door. They only had like, maybe like three people working,” said Corine Canada. “So people honestly just started leaving because it was like that. Yeah, like, ‘This is too long. I can’t sit here (and) wait, I have to go back to work.’ But here, no, it was easy.”
