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.
Don’t believe the naysayers. No matter which state you are in, your vote is important. Extreme Conservatives have been taking over school boards and imposing their agenda on kids.
Offices like Sheriff, Coroner, Secretary of State, Lt Governor, State Representatives, City and County Councils etc. are all important.
Every Vote Counts!!!!!
Many important local races will be decided by less votes than the number of updoots I will receive for this comment.
Wasting votes got us Bush, and it got us Trump, if you don't like the state of the political median, do your part to stop it from moving even further right.
Check the rules around early voting in your state! Some states make it ridiculously easy to vote by mail or vote in-person before election day.
Some states make it difficult to cast your ballot before election day, but you won't know until you check! You might be surprised how easy it actually is to cast your ballot without waiting in the long lines at your polling place
I put my ballot, and my partners in the 'Ballots Only' slot at the county building this past Monday. Get those votes in folks!
For those that may feel pressured to make snap decisions by all of these "I voted early" or "I already mailed in my my ballot" stories. Researching all of the measures and candidates and waiting until election day to vote when you have as much info as you could gain is perfectly fine and is actually preferred over making an uninformed vote.
The important thing is that you do vote, and taking a bit more time to feel comfortable with your decisions is not a bad thing. It just shows that you are an attentive voter and may just have more things going on in your life to be able go through all the info/research at once.
