Your choice for for now, anyway.
But I don't understand your decision, Citizen.
And I have no respect for it -- or you, to be perfectly honest.
I cannot fathom your willingness to sacrifice the rest of us on the altar of your own selfishness and frankly I don't care to know why.
If you don't show up today, if the state of our nation is not enough to compel you to do you duty as a citizen, then there's nothing you and I have to say to each other.
See yourself out.

Today, if you won't vote, if your sacred principles keep you from the polls, or your apathy, or your laziness, or your sense of childish petulant spite, or because chaos and destruction are what you think the rest of us deserve for not giving you a unicorn, well, that's your choice. You give unfettered approval to Donald Trump and those currently dismantling everything you say you hold dear, without any caveat or restriction, but that is indeed your choice as an American.

We're down to it.
This is it.
This is what may very well be the last chance to save our Republic.
I'm not going to yell at you today. I will not enjoin you, or otherwise command you to do your duty to this ragged Republic.
Either you listened or you didn't.
Either you'll show up, HAVE shown up, or ... you won't.

When I look out over this great land we call America I appreciate the hard work it took to get us here. This work has been challenged , it's time to change. VOTE. https://counter.social/media/O1KN8SEHHnkp9peO1Oc
We should remove state control of elections, they can still decide what goes on the ballot but they don't get to set the rules of the election.
Nationwide we should have PAPER mail-in ballots (no need for polling places).
If you have a SSN you should automatically get your ballot in the mail.
If the IRS feels good enough to take your money, you should be able to vote.
Has to do with that No Taxation without Representation meme from 1765...

One @uhaul employee told us the company has leaned on workers to support Republicans. It provided a bonus after the 2016 election, along with a message that it was doing so because of โall the good work Trump was doing for American business.โ

What should you do when your boss tells you to vote a certain way? Simple,.. Nod, agree, nod again,.. and then go cast your vote for what YOU want,... and then go back to work and tell your boss you did as he asked
The 2018 campaign revealed the true fissure in American democracy
Republican candidates premised their campaigns on baldfaced lies, whether it was a promise of an impossible tax cut bill, a pledge to protect people with preexisting conditions even as they worked to destroy those protections, or an apocalyptic description of the threat from the so-called caravan of migrants.
