I& #39;ve voted in every Canadian election since I was 18 and I& #39;ve never registered for shit. "Voter registration" is voter suppression.
Oh shit this is the first time I& #39;ve not noticed a tweet go viral til hours later lmao. Just to clarify for the pedants, yes I& #39;m technically registered but the gov does it automatically. I& #39;ve moved 6 times in the last 10 years and never had to lift a finger to register myself.
This is the kind of stuff that& #39;s normalized in the US. It& #39;s fucked up, intentionally racist (as are pretty much all forms of voter suppression) and classist, and should be fought against tooth and nail: https://twitter.com/hshaban/status/1313298054846525442?s=20">https://twitter.com/hshaban/s...
For the record, Canada is a genocidal settler colonial state that sucks in many ways so let& #39;s not act like we& #39;ve got it all figured out lol. But it& #39;s important to be able to look at the way things are done elsewhere. Automatic registration is something the US absolutely needs.

If I had to register myself to vote every election, the number of times my ADHD ass would have voted by now might easily be zero. When you pretend civic engagement "isn& #39;t that hard," you& #39;re parroting republican talking points.
