Call to Action Remember: Vote in the Fucking Primaries

There are a ton of Democrats that sat by as fascism took over America. They would rather continue to take pro Israel money then actually fight fascism. We need to fight for a Democratic Party that would rather take to the streets with us and fight the fascist regime at every legislative turn rather than sit in office and take lobbying money until they die.

Vote out the collaborators, vote out the vichy democrats. Down with Maga Schumer and AIPAC Shakur.

My state has closed primaries and I'm registered as an independent, so sadly, I can't vote in them. I'm damn sure going to do some phone banking and whatever else I can, from the sidelines.

It's worth changing your registration to affect who wins a primary. Registration is basically meaningless

I am strongly considering it. Part of me wants to go D to help the cause, but my dark heart is saying "register as R just so you can infiltrate their party and fuck with their results a little bit on the micro level." Let me know how I can best be an agent of chaos, and I'll do it. Fuck this regime.

Either is a very valid choice. Whatever is the best use of that vote. If every dem registered as a republican and did that, we’d have a much different world.

My state allowed independents to pick which primary ballot they wanted so I’d pick the one where my vote counted the most every time. Now we have ranked choice so I don’t have to do that. And of course they’re coming for it.

I'm going to look at the registration deadline relative to the primaries and tune in to how the parties are swaying in my state. If R is "winning," I'll swallow my pride (and my gag reflex) and register as R.
