@GeorgeTakei
A word to the wise: Trump thrives on your fear. He loves it when you feel helpless and belittled. But none of us is helpless. All of us matter.

You can register. You can vote. You can help your friends make a plan. You can donate and volunteer. We fight back with action.

1. I'm angry. It throbs with a life all its own.

[OhNo-Really]

16. It's seems like Our fav news ppl are stoking fear too

I’ve had to stop watching The Fear Reports

I like Amanpour at noon unless one of her few in depths is anew it job lie fest

2. I agree but...

I’m trying to explain to my son how important his vote is but he says it doesn’t matter b/c of the 12th Amendment. I’m trying to understand how to explain this to him..and me!

13. Maybe tell him

During Vietnam,18 year olds had no right to vote. But Also had no choice to go die in a war for political power and money. We fought like hell to get the vote. So please, do not dishonor those of us that served and those that died for a right to vote. Make no mistake, trump can start wars where a draft is renewed. He wants war to play with his toys. Don’t be a “sucker” or “loser” to get drafted into his shit so he can play bad ass. Who wants to join under his regime. Bet your ass Eric, Jr, and “The Baron” will not serve.

15. I don't quite see what the Twelfth has to do with it -

if he means the EC, we've always had that.

Is he an activist otherwise? one of those Chomsky types? If so, you might try the analogy that the most powerful way to make a better life for yourself is not just sitting there and breathing. on the other hand, if you don't breathe, nothing else you do is going to make your life better (since you'll be dead.) Voting is like breathing..

And there are other candidates on the ballots whose victory or lack of it has nothing to do with the EC. Not to mention propositions and State constitutional amendments. which also have nothing to do with the EC

14. Until dump prevails, I'm not scared, just pissed off in a major way.

That anyone still buys into his stupidity and corruption does consistently boggle the mind though.

17. you can tell by its words, its expression that it thrives on torture, it thrives on spreading fear

the mannerism, its all there. It is a monster backed by more monsters who are worse than fascists, they are terrorists.
