There is no getting around it, but for supporters of Democracy, last week’s US Presidential election result was a tough pill to swallow. The good thing is that so many communities were built up over the past ten years and even more during the short-lived Harris campaign. We are not alone. You are not alone.
and mostly failing, but glad for community both online and off. My predictions were way off. It’s hard to be so wrong and so blind-sided.
I wonder if Justice Alito understood how damaging the Dobbs decision would be to women and to the Republican party in general. Women are turning out en masse and using our political power by voting.
The early voting signs are encouraging, and I have thought for at least the last month that VP Harris will prevail in this historic election. Women are motivated. Women are pissed. We are voting as one bloc.
The differences between the candidates couldn’t be more stark. I encourage you to watch her whole speech. The activism and early voting look good but keep the pedal to the metal. Ignore the polls, the pundits and just encourage everyone you know to vote.
Seeing the real footage from 1939 and watching a man get beat down and everyone (including the children on stage) enjoy it turns my stomach. But it important to face the past, face the hate, fully denounce it, and not let it repeat itself.
If you vote in person, ensure you follow all the rules. It is easy to forget, but there are laws – strict ones – in place to protect people’s votes and to protect from influence.
