Every time the Dems lose, they go to the center to find voters. Want them to stop going to the center? Then give them overwhelming and consistent victories.
If you think you can change their platform by not voting or voting 3rd party, you're dead wrong. They will just go to the center voter even more. This is not a Mexican standoff that you can win, because they have an out which is worth double (a center voter is both a vote for them and vote taken away from the other party).
How are we supposed to change their platform? Because rewarding them with victories when all they do is go to the center hasn't been working.
Okay but voting is a group project and everyone I’m partnered with is ignorant and short-sighted.
At what turnout does nancy pelosi break bank insider trading?
Which is why Reps are the ones constantly vying for various "voter security" measures (voter suppression).
Vote like your life depends on it. Because it does.
God, I hate fighting people just to get them to vote in a way that makes mathematic and strategic sense.
That's right reader. YOU are responsible for this nightmare. If only you ~~recycled your plastics more~~, ~~used a non plastic straw~~, shouted at your peers to vote, you could have prevented this hell hole. So hold yourself personally responsible and then push that anxiety and stress onto others without any nuance. Cause if you can prove your moral goodness maybe the world might be heaven without any work other than checking a box.
This is not really at all accurate math and it won't change the people happily voting the other way. Or the Electoral College. Or the ridiculous amount of bribes, corruption and party politics.
I hate this photo for so many reasons and I also think voting should be a mandatory holiday. I just refuse to pretend that this idea that it would fix everything because you yelled at enough people to ~~pray harder~~, vote more.
Early voted today in AZ. Straight blue! I was the first person in line in my county in one of the 3 precincts opening early today. 💪
