None of my coworkers that want Trump to win are registered to vote. I don't know if that means anything.

Are the states that have a majority swing states, so have more advertising and campaigning, or are they just more politically active?

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Politically active. MN is decidedly not a swing state and is here.

This is why voting needs to be really easy. If a phone app/website is good enough for banking, it is good enough for voting.

Which is why we need to spend our energy this election on motivating voters who are already on side but think voting is pointless, rather than bothering to convince fence sitters who aren't already convinced by a Trump's behavior.

Get your friends in swing states to vote! Get them to get their friends to vote! Harris has this, especially if we can motivate even like 5-10% of non-voters!

If it didn't help other global powers, i.e. Russia, I'd say this is a reason to have New England be it's own country.

Let’s not forget the third party and Harambe stuff. Some of that flipped swing states Red.

I don't think Harambe got that many votes but I'm too lazy to look that up

Good ol’ Iowa, one of the few shamelessly voting Trump. 😓
