It's true. I voted. Did all my fellow Americans also vote today or earlier?

    I voted early.

    I think electoralism is a tool with limitations but I also think we can't afford to use all available tools to protect people. Even if its just harm reduction, we have an obligation to the people whose heads are on the chopping block.

    Protect your community. Go vote and then go get involved in organizing.

    This is the correct answer! Thanks for voting, and if he doesn’t accept, the next steps will be less non-violent

    I went in person, armed as promised. Didn't expect any MAGA fuckery since this is a red county, but not taking chances.

    Got it done and hated it as never before. I'm looking at my fellow citizens and thinking, "Are you enemy?" And I'm sure many thought this middle-aged white guy was MAGA. It's fucking awful that America is in such a place.

    I also hate that I had to thoughtlessly vote straight D. At this point I wouldn't vote R for fucking dog catcher. Didn't vote on Florida Supreme Court Judges, voted for both half cent sales taxes, fucked up and didn't study the second proposition, voted for largely dropping property taxes, may regret that in the future.

    Not as offtopic as it'll initially sound: Few years ago I found a greek fisherman's hat that came in several colours. I own nearly ten of them and most days I wear one. I have a red one. I'm careful when and where i wear it because I don't want MAGA assumptions.

    MAGA has ruined patriotism, the flag, the color red. grrrr

    Won't wear or display an American flag in anyway except upside down. Only flags I got are Defend Equality pins.

    Got a free Under Armour red hat, very nice, had my wife sell it at the flea market.

    Bought a Same Shit Different Hat shirt, got two MAGA compliments, until they looked again, "Oh. uh..." Can't wear that now.

    hahaha, that last one is hilarious. d'oh.

    I keep meaning to get some pins for the red hat that make it SUPER fucking clear what the hat is not. heh. But ADHD means it'll take me a while longer to get around to it :)

    Voted a couple weeks ago, with help from the guides on Vote From Abroad. Actually filled out my ballot back in September, but it took a while for my adhd brain to scan it with my voter id and email it in. I remembered to follow up with the board of elections to get confirmation my vote was counted thoughβ€” glad I did, I’d expect fuckery otherwise.

    Honestly wasn't going to. But I got an unsolicited text message telling me to vote no on 9 last week. So I voted yes on 9 today. (Fuck guns)

  • I voted a couple of weeks ago. I happily voted a second time for my rep, Melanie Stansbury.

    I've voted as far left as I could in every election since I was 18. That was 40+ years ago.
