Huge turnouts will also show the places that are actively gerrymandered and otherwise trying to suppress certain demographics from being able to vote. Which oddly enough are usually in swing states. Almost like there's a reason for preventing some people from voting.
Political Memes
Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
Gerrymandering and in fact any tampering is most effective when turnout is low.
If turnout is unusually high it actually can backfire turning very red counties into blue (they gerrymander by spreading people in heavily red counties to neighboring blue ones just enough to turn then red, so the margins are much smaller)
You don’t even have to turn your own state blue. Just make it more expensive for them to keep it red. Then the battleground states will have an easier time.
Why is this NSFW?
Got you to click for tits, D’init, Doc?
I debated it - because of the “fucking”.
Your heart is in the right place but this isn't TikTok

And if you got time sign up to do other stuff! Knock on doors, phone bank, talk to your neighbors, etc. I'm going to the state fair this weekend to work the voter registration booth.
Our goal shouldn't be to just beat the GOP this election, it should be to electorally launch them into the fucking sun.
No such thing as, "My vote doesn't count."
Even if you vote for the loser, and get solidly beat down, politicians can work an Excel sheet, see the numbers creeping up on them. Even a loss gets your message counted.
I don't reside in a state so I guess no voting for me ;p :)
Don't forget us overseas voters :)
Doesn’t your ballot go to a state?
It does, yeah, but I don't live there. That doesn't stop the government from taxing me, though, so vote I do!
I don’t know about expats, but like ~~DC and~~ the territories don’t get to vote for president.
We get to vote. The requirements per state (and amount of time overseas) kinda determines how it works.
