between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

National Tight Ends Day isn't even a real holiday. It's actually adopted from a pagan fullback festival held around the time of the fall equinox

I don't think you can underestimate just how powerful elections are in our system. It is a literal transferance of power by the citizens of the country. "Oh, but they don't care about the rules." No, of course not, but they do care about power and losing an elections shows they don't have it.

there are a lot of people out there who see the admin trying to influence the election and sneering “what are you gonna do, vote harder” and, yes, you can see it in the early voting turnout they are voting quite hard indeed

This especially true when/if the margin is gigantic. They can't pull this kind of shit off by themselves and losing elections shows EVERYONE that they don't actually have the support to do it.

The Justice Department's last-second letters about noncitizen voting contain people with no history of voting whatsoever, and they're moving so fast they sloppily sent one county the wrong list of names.

one thing I will say about the preemptive pardon bullshit is it is not the behavior of a group of people who have a definitive plan to retain power forever

I feel insane seeing stuff like this about Watson out in the wild. Setting aside *waves hands around* literally everything…he’s been below average at best!

To flip some discourse script for a bit: what’s y’all’s Obama number (ie degrees of separation with the former president)? Mine is 3
