Yep. Though it really should have been part of your LIFE routing since you were old enough to vote. Because if the thoughtful people don’t vote, guess who ends up making the decisions.
“America is, surely we all know by now, fuccked. It is paralysed and incapable of rational discussion or progressive change, so it ends up, on fundamental questions like the autonomy of women over their own bodies, with simply a dichotomous choice, left in the hands of judges who are now absolutely pure ideological avatars for their sponsors.” WRITTEN BY MICHAEL BRADLEY THE SHOT
The SC decision on abortion rights followed by states restrictions is the gasoline the Alt-Reich has been pouring on the flames they’ve ignited in U.S. society. Hopefully folk will vote Blue accordingly in the future and put out the fires.
Historically, 18-35 year olds vote with less frequency than other age groups. It’ll be interesting to see if that changes this November. I suspect it will, but then again, it has been a while since I was 18-35.
Political commercials are infuriating. Far too often they are just smears against a candidate rather than promoting accomplishments and realistic plans. One Repub claims how much he is going to do for the middle class when his main supporter is a billionaire – the billionaire sponsors the smear campaign and the candidate won’t answer questions about the lies because “they aren’t my commercials”.
Republican led women are now forced to confront christian conservatives having absolute control over their bodies and those of their daughters. The christian Taliban and their adherents on the SCOTUS and in congress have determined women their value. And they want you to vote republican so they can make your lives so much worse for you and so much better for them.
The Republican View of the Declaration of Independence; "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness; please note that “men” refers only to those persons born biologically male, and is not intended to apply to those persons born biologically female, persons of color, or any other persons deemed to be unworthy of such ‘Rights’ based upon standards that may have to be changed, adjusted, ignored, and/or altered overtime to ensure that only the right types of “men” may exercise these ‘Rights’ in an unfettered and unrestricted manner, and this provision is subject to alteration, revocation, or cancellation with or without notice . . ." /s
What IS telling is that many (most?) in the Anti-Abortion crowd seemingly can’t tell the difference between contraception and abortion. Which is pretty straightforward.
Don’t forget that Thomas and the lunatic majority on the Court wants to overturn Griswald v. Connecticut, the case that declared a state cannot ban birth control.

If you don’t vote, you really can’t complain. I’ve voted every time since I was eligible to vote.

If you don’t vote to protect your rights, you don’t deserve to have them.

At least she is admitting that she is voting for the right to kill her own child.
