    If they were canceling elections why haven’t they started yet?

    If they want to build concentration camps, why haven’t they started yet?

    if they want to deport law-abiding citizens, why haven’t they started yet?

    if they want to create their own masked thug army, why haven’t they started yet?

    Anyone who’s been paying attention should KNOW that “hasn’t happened yet” does NOT necessarily mean that they won’t do something.

      We’re talking about elections, which decide who is on power to decide whether those other things you brought up are allowed to happen.

      If you want to give up your agency, roll over and show your belly, and comply in advance, then fine. Don’t vote. I will be both voting and working the polls in November.

        We’re talking about elections, which decide who is on power to decide whether those other things you brought up are allowed to happen.

        Which is why it’s important not to rest on “they haven’t started yet”

        If you want to give up your agency, roll over and show your belly, and comply in advance, then fine.

        That’s the OPPOSITE of what I’m advocating.

        Don’t vote

        Fuck that. I’ve never missed a vote since I first became old enough 25 years ago and I’m not planning on starting now.
