Don't care. Go and vote. It only matters once the polling closes. Then you can say whatever you want.

Assume they're all voting against you and get out there
Voted today. The line was out the door. A bunch of old people though, so i assume they leaned republican. Go vote!
Seniors in US now have a 10 point disapproval rating for Trump
Just because some says they are embarassed of Trump doesn't mean they won't vote for him
My entire family. They hate trump, they're also convinced anybody further left would be worse.
America NEEDS Ranked Choice Voting (RCV).
We have it in Alaska, Maine, and NYC IIRC.
Only sorta in NYC; they use it for primaries but not the general, IIRC. Better than nothing though, since it helped Mamdani get past the primary stage.
And no Republican has ever voted against their own interests to own the libs of what the fuck ever they're after.
They say Gen X was worse than boomers last time. Maybe the old folks will pull through.
Thats why voting rights should stop at 50. You had 30 years to make a difference, now let the next generation have their turn.
Advocating disenfranchising people for the last 25+ years of their life isn't very "socialist" of you.

A democracy doesn't take away people's rights when they reach a certain age.

That's so cute that you think it's the person's age that matters. If you want take voting rights away from the kind of people who vote for fascists, it's the men (of all ages) that you need to stop. https://navigatorresearch.org/2024-post-election-survey-gender-and-age-analysis-of-2024-election-results/
It would be more efficient and fair to just make conservatism illegal in politics. After all, conservatism is fascism.
ad a 60yr old I agree on an upper limit for sure, i'd posit 60 as that upper limit though
No, assume the votes are really close and your vote might be the decider. If ALL the other votes are against your candidate, voting is futile
Reports near me were lines wrapped around some voting centers while others were just a handful. It varies wildly even within 15 minutes of each other.
I don't shit how long the lines, vote like our lives depend on it. But I saw long ass line spent hours waiting to vote and Trump won my county by large margins.
I only saw old people today, it was sad.
I seemed to have taught the room of 20 60-70 y/o that sample ballot exist, and a few of them followed my lead and took one to leave and think about it.
So at least a few seemed to be actually thinking about what they're doing this time.
Problem is lot of young people are not aware they have a right to vote and there bosses must allow them time to vote. But when so few polling places and people having to work. Wonder how many want to vote, but won't because of their jobs?
big early voter turnout almost always favor democrat/liberal candidates.
This doesnt bode well for texas republicans
You mean it DOES bode well for Texas, after decades of conservative oppression.
well, yes, anything that doesnt bode well for republicans is typically good for everyone else.
Don't get complacent. "Hillary is going to win by a landslide!" caused the 2016 election to go the other way. Well, one of the causes but anyway, go vote.
Considering even Democratic people had to hold their nose to vote for her it was a lot more than complacency.
We wouldn’t even be here if folks then had their shit together.
True story. I was so sure Trump would lose, I voted 3rd party for the first time.
U.S. will burn like France if Democrats triumph in November’s midterm elections. - DJT
From their 2nd article on scroll. There would be a higher chance of riots if GOP can rig elections in their favour again.
No matter what hell awaits us after this election, it's worth it to see Texas blue.
I support Talarico in spirit
Martial Law, canceled election, and dissolved reichstag congress in 3..2..
Great, a record number of ballots to declare invalid for some arbitrary reason.
Harris County, Texas—Texas’s most populous county, which Kamala Harris won in 2024 with 52 percent of the vote—broke its early voting record on Monday, eclipsing the previous mark by a whopping 41,000 votes.
More than 104,600 people in Harris County voted in person on Monday, the first day of early voting in Texas, according to the county’s elections department. That breaks the previous record set in 2018, when 63,188 votes were cast and Democrats went on to recapture the House.
