this election season is about to be really ugly.

the amount of loud and wrong voices are going to be unbearable.

there will be a lot of narratives around people sitting at home and not voting being our downfall.

But i’ve never seen where people get that’s what happened in 2016. Hilary won the popular vote and Trump won based of three key counties in Wisconsin, PA, and Michigan.

45,000 people in Wisconsin had trouble with Voter ID laws. Milwaukee has 70% of Wisconsin’s black people & lost 41,000 voters from 2012 to 2016.

MI and PA told people they needed an ID to vote when they didn’t.

NC GOP bragged about decreasing the black vote.

Stories go on and on, 14 states had new voting restrictions in place for the first time in 2016. And these are just the easily traceable methods.

Point is, y’all will find your energy being much better put in making sure people even can vote and that it’s easy as possible.

nobody got agent orange in office but those who voted for him & those who will do everything to make sure those most impacted can’t vote.

any other narrative is not factual and is making it divisive where it doesn’t need to be.

many schools don’t have voting on campus.
election day is not a national holiday.
your job likely has no designated time for people to go vote.

a hundred other things making what’s advertised as some “basic civil duty” harder than it has to be. speak on those.

Voting is most effective as a group activity. Just imagine a line of 50-300 people with 10 of your homies vs. you by yourself. Even if you don’t want to get as “political” as speaking out, you do more by getting people together and making it a group trip.

just a perspective.
