thinly veiled threats from the DNC?

fuck all the way off. Vote PSL if you’re gonna vote. The GOP and DNC can eat my whole ass.

    this whole “whether you vote is public record” shtick is the weirdest psyop ever, never mind the fact that I’v definitely voted in every election I’ve been an adult for but my record doesn’t show anything after 2016, so those services that purport to show if a person voted or not are bullshit.

    Hang on. 2016 was when I started voting third party. Did I get put on a list?

    Just saw an ad during the nationally televised Lakers-Suns game on ESPN with the exact same message.

    “Your neighbors, family, co-workers can look up if you voted”

    Paid for by future forward, which I looked up and it’s funded by Bloomberg, and run by “Moneyball style” quants agony-shivering

      Voting is a magical ritual that liberals use to manifest material change. The democrats could easily create a motion to create a committee to create a bill to light your house on fire. The bill, once signed into law, will allocate $420M to the task. $419,999,900 will go to various lobbyists and congress people in stonks or whatever, and the remaining will be used to buy 2 cans of aerosol bug spray, a lighter, and 2 hours of someone’s labor to do the arson. The program takes over a decade because no BIPOC Pell grant recipient who has run a profitable business in a disadvantaged community for 3 years or more wants to take on the job.

        I hate cursive, because the people most insistent on using it have the sloppiest penmanship. It’s like me with chopsticks, but I at least don’t make it everyone else’s problem.

      These postcard writing campaigns happen every election as a gotv initiative. It is busy work to make liberals feel like they’re doing praxis by LARPing as electoralist Jehovah’s Witnesses, but this is the first time I’ve seen them be like “we’re watching you,” though.

        I went to a search engine and looked for something related to these mailers. Of course a Reddit link was the first result. Clicking on it, brought up a bunch of democrats talking about how this was done intentionally. The specific wording was supposed to guilt you into voting for their candidate.

        It’s fucking GOP-lite. How ‘lite’ is arguable.

      I voted PSL, and on some local stuff - I finally moved out of the boonies to an actual city, so I decided to be a good liberal and vote for or against things that actually affect me locally.

      I thought about voting green just because out of all the indies, she has the most recognition I think.

      But I remember something someone here said, to the effect of voting PSL shows that I want a socialist option. It stuck in my head, and is why I voted De La Cruz/Garza.
