The man said it himself “Nothing will fundamentally change”. This is not an issue he even pretends to care about. Just saying voting is not somehow magically going to address the stated problem.

I'm familiar with the statement, but there might be other benefits to not having a moronic narcissist psychopath in the white house which should convince you to vote against Trump. We'll solve the stated problem later. Vote.

Badged an old comment from a thread I didn't remember seeing. Whoops.

Sentiment remains though.

Hubski votes. (Well, most of us)

Thanks, yo.

I cast my ballot a week ago. Got up at 7 AM (that means this is a BIG deal), was there just after the place opened, and I was both delighted ('cuz covid) and appalled ('cuz peeps should vote) how few people there were. It was a huge room with maybe 50 election workers, my wife, myself, and one other guy :(.

Most of my fam went the vote-by-mail (but drop it off at the supervisor) route. Found way more people there than when I early voted at a booth for primaries.

In Texas, it's illegal for me to vote by mail without declaring a disability. Why? Because voter fuckin' suppression.

Theme of the election cycle this round.

Found this bad boi, but no follow up.

There remained enough ambiguity that I decided to just go and do it in-person. No regerts.

The latest Texas GOP stunt is attempting to throw out 125,000 votes from Houston (read: mostly Democrat votes) because they were cast at drive-thru polling sites. Their argument was, in a nutshell, "we don't like it and didn't agree to it". Pathetic to behold.
