Make voting the last part of doing your taxes. You get $5 for voting. The person is already verified when submitting, piggyback on that process.

Cash rules everything around me

Perhaps the automated drone army is nearing completion.

Then finally us useless eaters can finally be dealt with.

I did, and the primary to. Then the people who I voted alongside of talked massive shit about me because I didn’t smile hard enough while voting for “the most pro-labor president”.

Then they didn’t do anything to fix the First Past the Post voting system and the spoiler effect that comes along side it. Despite lecturing people over and over about its mathematical flaws whenever anyone mentioned voting outside the two party system.

I will vote for your blue conservatives, but don’t try to fool me that I am represented with things as they are.

I move every year because my rent keeps going up and I can’t afford to stay. In some places ive been they offer a discount the first year then it goes up to the “normal rate”.

Sorry to my MAGA neighbor that broke my headlight, I can’t afford to stay and educate you.

I dont.

With a more representative electoral system like Ranked Choice, more people would have been driven to the polls. More people voting equals more democratic votes.

How we vote is controlled at the state level, so why haven’t blue states passed electoral reform? Don’t the democrats want more votes? Why would the democratic party say no to these extra votes?

Is keeping 3rd parties from joining the table worth sacrificing the nation to the Republican’s nightmare?

You do realize democrats are conservatives right?
