The smart thing is to vote early and avoid the ruckus the stupider people will inevitably create around polling places on November 5.
See vote.gov for details
If you have the opportunity, vote-by-mail is genuinely awesome also. I qualify in my state because I'm chronically ill, and it's one of the few silver linings. I get a ballot in the mail every time an election happens like clockwork, I have time to do my research and it's significantly harder to forget.
In California you no longer need to apply for vote-by-mail, they mail a ballot to everyone and you can either mail it back, no stamp needed, or drop it in any ballot box, or take it to any polling place on the day to hand it to a person.
It's so much better to be able to sit there at a computer or on your phone, looking up the candidates for the smaller offices and marking them as you go.
And you can get phone notifications for when your ballot is received and counted.
Oregon too. There's also a service where you just give it your voting registration details and an email address and it emails you:
The MAGAs are attacking the election system in my state (Georgia) so hard that, at this point, I'm starting to worry about mail-in ballots being fraudulently thrown out because of false claims of signature mismatch.
This is automatic in WA state, and I absolutely love it. Never missed a local or federal election.
It's also a hell of a lot more convenient to fill out a ballot at your kitchen table. You can look up all those downballot no-names you have never heard of.
This is actually one of the reasons they are against mail in or drop off ballots. Educated voters scare the shit out of them.
Remember remember the 5th of November. Gunpowder treason and plot.
Sounds about right for ol Orangeman
Remember, remember this fifth of November
The insurrection, incitement, and plot.
I see no reason
That Donald Trump's treason
Should ever be forgot.
I know of no reason the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot
Nov 5th is election day.
Well, if that's not foreshadowing. US Election Day = Guy Fawkes Day.
Trump wouldn't know who Guy Fawkes is. US Election Day falls on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. It's just a coincidence it happens to be the 5th this year. My comment was mostly a direct reply to OP.
Why have it on a Tuesday? Why not on a weekend so more people aren't at work?
Oh, yeah, that's why.
Presumably he's trying to rile up demonstrations at polling places themselves.
Demonstration, intimidation, physically preventing anyone not wearing a MAGA hat from voting... Potato potato
HA! Could you imagine if we all got together and bought red hats and Trump lost? There would be fucking chaos. The morons would be in the streets screaming about how they saw nothing but MAGA voters.
Eight years in and I'm still pissed about those fucking hats. I have this nice red cap that a friend gave me almost 15 years ago. It was custom-made, and has a starburst image that a third friend created... and the cap base is the exact same shade of red as those fucking Trump hats, so I've not been able to wear it in public for 8 years.
I had a coca cola hat that I used to wear. I gave up on it after the third person said they thought it was a MAGA hat at a distance.
NOVEMBER 5TH WILL BE ONE OF THE DAYS IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA!
FEBRUARY 30TH WILL NOT BE!
AND FEBRUARY 29TH IS THIS YEAR BUT NOT THE NEXT OR THE ONE AFTER THAT UNTIL THE NEXT ELECTION YEAR
Is Trump on Twitter again?
Yes, elon reversed his permanent ban
And also Trump promised he'd never use Twitter again. So obviously he's back on, despite the great success of his own platform
The $45 million a month Elon is giving his superPAC helps
*promised to give. Anyone following self-driving cars over the last decade knows Elon’s promises are worth nothing.
Shut the fuck up. That kind of language is how Stephen Fry gets killed.
Even more of a coincidence is that the recent UK general election was held on 4th July!
When he was tweeting for his followers to amass and how it was going to get "wild" (from memory I think that's what he said) on January 6th long in advance I was freaked out but everyone said that was not a big deal.
I still doubt anyone will see this as a big deal the second time :/
Well if there's no consequences, he's gonna do it again. Every parent to a toddler knows this.
The FBI do not care about you at all.
They're too busy shutting down Torrent sites for their corporate owners.
Holy shit!! He said something that I actually agree with. I didn't think that would ever happen.
VOTE!!!!! Volunteer to give rides to those that wouldn't be able to vote without it. Anything you can do, it will make a difference.
I mean yea? It's election day for an election that I think both sides consider pretty important. Granted, that's a bit of hyperbole, but this is a far cry from a call to violence. Harris could say the exact same thing, in fact she's likely has said something similar.
Saying this is a threat isn't just an overreaction, it's downright embarrassing. This is the kind of crap the right shares to try and paint Dems as weak, thin-skinned, idiots.
Trump says so much awful shit that warrants this reaction, but not EVERYTHING does FFS.
Get ready for armed dip shits at polling stations across America
Itll be the most relieving day since we'll finally be rid of his sorry ass
People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
