    i think it’s all going to come down to how badly do women not want to be wholly owned by their MAGAt men. that’s going to determine whether the american project was successfully killed by putin.

      Unfortunately, a lot of women have been brainwashed to think that it’s only “the others” that they’re after and that they’re safe. Even Hispanic Women are still voting for Trump because “it’s only the illegals”. They don’t realize it’s not about that, it’s about creating a group that is “other” to blame. And once all the “illegals” are gone and things aren’t any better they’ll continue to the rest of the Hispanic people. Once their children need an abortion to save their lives, they’ll be the ones in the funeral homes.

    I prefer the French Left take on the idea. They did a campaign awhile back titled: “The fascists are voting, are you?” With a big portrait of the most well-known far right politician in the country. In the end they had to pay a 3000€ fine but I’d say it was worth it.

      3000€ seems like barely a drop in the bucket of campaigning costs, totally worth it lol. To the point that’s not even a disincentive.

        Problem is that’s how Elon and others are getting away with shit. Drops in buckets fines are the cost of business for them and it’s working quite well.

    Honestly doesn’t this sort of message actually help Democrats more than anything? Do they not realize the GOP has no chance if the voter turnout increases? Even if that circumstance might favor Trump, they’d be torn to shreds in the senate and governor races.

      And that’s where you want to put them down-- the local and state elections. Controlling the house and senate is FAR more important than POTUS. Because the house and senate make the laws and write the checks.

      They might target it to specific areas. The gerrymandering software is so good this days, with access to all the data you can predict pretty accurately how any area is going to vote

    the message aside, this is one of the shittiest designs I’ve seen. the text is all over the place, there’s no clear hierarchy of information… what a mess.

          Ducking people is obviously against both the instance rules and the sub rules.

          I’m not too concerned, your comments will be deleted shortly. You may even get a ban.

          I hope it was worth sounding clever, cause what you did is pretty stupid.

                I did it just to show you that you should block it out. It’s not your full address, just the block number.

                  Don’t act like you were doing me a favor by posting my address publicly. If you thought I should block it out, you could’ve messaged me privately, but you didn’t.

                  Sociopaths do what you do. You did an obviously shitty thing, and then tried to blame me for it.

                  Congratulations on that by the way. Being a sociopath, that is. Try not to murder any cats.

    Never knew republicans thrived on increased turnout. Glad they’re still sticking with this democratic principle ig.

      It doesn’t really read the same when coming from Democrats, though. Both sides are not the same, and only one of them has been known for making threats of political violence.

        I can’t stress enough that it does read the same. I got one from a dem org and though it was formatted differently, the wording was the same. It basically ended with “we will be checking to see if you vote this year”. It was gross and felt invasive even though I have no reason to be scared at all, even if my whole ballot was public. I can only imagine how some immigrants or people in abusive households took this.

        I know, I’m saying I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the campaign wants increased turnout in the first place.

      Republicans need young men to turn out; from what I can see, they are trending conservative. They don’t want young women to turn out, because they are trending overwhelmingly liberal.

    It also strongly encourages people to return their ballots in person likely because the GOP is already set to challenge mail-in ballots as “rigged”.

    Really not a great look for liberals, considering Harris/Walz have literally sent handwritten postcards saying the exact same thing to threaten their base.

    They really have abandoned all reality lmfao.

      Ha! This clown is talking about Postcards for Democrats, a grassroots organization of volunteers reminding registered Democrats to vote for their local Democratic candidates. Super threatening to … nazis, I guess?

    This is “interesting” to be sure.

    Its frankly terrible how much stalking the campaigns do. This isn’t something that is Republican or Democrat. They wonder why they are having issues with voter turn out but then they do and turn elections into a massive invasion of personal rights. They want to stalk you to get you to believe the current propaganda.

    You know what would help in the current political turmoil? Better privacy and transparency.
