Just woke up? Just realized that "shit's gettin' real"? SCOTUS flushing ROE slapped you

[Atticus]

up side the head?

Welcome to the fray. We need your help to save our democracy, our nation, our way of life.

Politics can be complicated at times, BUT NOT NOW. All you really need to understand is that if we don't ALL show up at the polls on election day and elect a Democratic House, Senate and governor, America will slide quickly into "shithole country" status.

Register. Volunteer. Donate. VOTE!

1. We also really need to focus on state legislatures too.

They are important in redistricting congregational districts every ten years.

It’s hard to win seats in heavily gerrymandered districts.

It might be something our party should be proactive on.

11. Not just redistricting/gerrymandering

In fact, not even primarily that.

If you just woke up because of Dobbs... you should quickly realize that "sending abortion back to the states" means that state legislatures are the front lines.

2. Bush v Gore woke me up.

Things have only gotten worse since.

6. Who knew Gore had the power to not accept...

The electors in just one state, to make himself President.

14. IMHO that was the first planned step bringing us to the point we are now. It is all part of a long..

...long plan. Starting with Bush v Gore.

My family has done their part to save our Democracy. Three generations have served during wartime. WW I, WW II, and Vietnam.

Six of my high school classmate were killed in action in Vietnam.

GET OUT AND VOTE. PLEASE!!! don't let all who served and died down by not having the time to VOTE.

Vote in every election. Local, state, and national. They ALL count.

16. Still not over that one myself

Gore was perhaps the planet’s last chance to be rescued from the climate change implosion. I think its past the midnight hour 😞

4. This is Take Back America from the Republican't do anythings.

They've been holding our country back for 40 years, now they want to snap us back to the early 1900s.

They are sellouts and fascists.

5. Make America a Democracy again

[DownriverDem]

7. Hard to believe

but Roe has awaken a lot of folks. Good. Now go out and vote in your primaries and in November.

8. MAGA is a death cult, and, wants you dead

By the very fact that you’re on this site, they want you dead.

10. If people are waking up, why do I hear so much snoring?

I was on a statewide Zoom for Democratic Party activists yesterday and multiple people matter-of-factly referred to not having enough volunteers to sustain the usual phone banking and canvassing programs. NOBODY chimed in to say we're okay in our county. I am reminded of the fashionable claim from a few years back that demographic change was going to deliver solid majorities. Roe is the new savior- we can just sit back and watch Roe do its magic.
