Make no mistake. We are sliding headlong into Autocracy. The checks & balances of 3 co-equal branches of government are gone. The Peoples House is on fire. No more fighting over minor policy differences. This Nov. We The People must put this Malignant Fire Out.

(81,421 posts)If ANY of us balks or stays home or thinks it doesnt make any difference or has something else more important to do that day than voting, then were guaranteed being ruled by a self-proclaimed king.
And it will be no one elses fault but our own.

(2,703 posts)count is better than the odds of winning the lottery. Then again, I vote but don't participate in the volunteer tax thing

(24,760 posts)I will be GOTV.
My husband and I and some friends have been planning a trip to E. Europe in September. We are re-thinking it, due to the election.
Interested in your thoughts.
Reservations are 2-fold:
having to explain our fuckedup country to the world, including that we don't support the orange heinous.
And 2: should we be at home "prepping" in case he wins in November?

(15,548 posts)Due to the passage of the statewide ballot proposal 18-3, all eligible and registered voters in Michigan may now request an absentee voter ballot without providing a reason.
Every registered voter can be put on a Permanent Absentee Voter list at their respective clerk's offices. You know longer have to be a senior citizen or have an excuse for why you want to vote absentee.
I have always been a proponent of allowing everyone to vote in the privacy of their home. Some people are too intimidated by the process and lines if they have to vote at a precinct. This was another result of the big blue wave in 2018.
