What Gives Me Hope Read more here.

Hope is not a promise. It is not a guarantee of success. It is the courage to act in the face of uncertainty. And right now, in this fragile moment for our democracy, it is the most important responsibility we share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

There will be no "blue wave" of change and accountability if there are no "blue wave" voters registering and, you know, actually voting. Ijs.

This Congress is impotent. Seems like we should vote a lot of them out of a job this year.
Along with some Governors, Mayors, city councils, school boards, and judges. Have you checked your races? All 50 states have critical elections from Congress to the lowest local race. πŸ‘JUSTπŸ‘VOTEπŸ‘

I saw a headline that Democrat voter registration is down. Maybe more folks are choosing NPA registrations, which is fine. But if you're protesting and posting, you should be registering and voting too.

84 million Americans sat out the 2024 election. That level of apathy is gross.

Hmmm.we should vote them out of a job.

And Florida had a lot of chances to ruin political careers by voting in state and local elections. But the liberals constantly sit out instead of showing up. Just fucking vote, y'all. Idc if it's for the school board. Show up!

There are more of us against this kind of ideology than for it.
Be sure to VOTE those who bend at the knee and applaud this mentality out of a job this year! We need a Congress with a spine and local leaders with balls!

πŸ’ͺ Great post. I'm not one for violence. But I do agree with defense and strength in numbers. Kudos to the kids!

Wait until they can vote. There are more pissed off kids than those in the cult. They are watching, ashamed, and livid. That's why they don't give a fuck about labels, your age, or status quo. I have 2 of them. THEY are my hope. Alpha & Z showing Gen X how to walk the FAFO talk.πŸ’₯ JUSTπŸ‘VOTEπŸ‘

The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The first time a city's population has ever been nominated.

Accuse me of catastrophizing, but "β€˜We want to take over" is about as clear a warning as you will ever get.

The most solid rake I’ve come across so far regarding the GOP’s frantic drive to trap women back into what they consider to be our β€˜natural’ roles β€” restricted to being subservient to men, being their goods & chattel, breeding, & never being able to leave the men we’re deemed to belong to.

The Texas seat flipped because the Texans got off their asses, put down their phones and, you know, VOTED. When is the next election in YOUR state?
Are you registered?
Got your calendar marked?

The BBB was touted for the credits, including the "enhanced" child care. Now, 5 days after they open for filing, said credit will delay returns until March for "security reasons." What? Y'all going to research my last 16 & 14 years of returns to verify I'm claiming the same two fucking kids? Smh.

Over 80 million Americans didn't vote in 2024. I blame them for this picture as much as I blame the douchebag holding the gun and the psychos that he works for.

Polls are nice. Yet they are wrong if more don't vote than do. Vote in every election.

I agree. Our DNC leaves much to be desired. It's been my top complaint since they ran Charlie Christ as a Democrat.

I live here too and didn't know either. Good to know I'm not the only one. The local political group that I belong to tends to focus on St. Augustine & the beaches which are nowhere near my side of JAX. If I find the scoop, I'll share the knowledge.

There are more πŸ’™ in Florida than known. I live in Jacksonville. I see their comments on Nextdoor. Online warriors that are quick to exercise and voice their right to speech. The problem is they won't exercise their right to vote. Let's encourage that action too. πŸ’ͺ

After the way the Capital Police were attacked, again, at Jack Smith's testimony, everyone should be checking their election schedule and seriously vet candidates this year. All 50 states have one and we know they're going to dress wolves in Blue coats.

Congress and any local official supporting this shit needs to lose their job this year. We are due elections. Demand them and show up.

Seems like a lot of voters this year should be vetting candidates and, you know, actually cast a legal, readable, and valid ballot.
