"Voting isn’t like marriage, it’s like public transport. You’re not waiting for “the one” who’s absolutely perfect: you’re getting on the bus, and if there isn’t one to your destination, you don’t not travel - you take the one going closest."
I keep coming back to the above quote during this election. Not the candidates I would have chosen, but I know who's going to be better for women (and frankly, everyone) for the next 4 years.

I voted. Our state allowed advanced voting by mail on request. It also allows our election office to count upon receipt. My vote has already been accepted by the office! A vote for basic human decency!

100% Yes.

It depresses me that my vote was between two rapists this year.

Remember, you’re not just voting for president. You’re voting for every person the president will support. In this election, you are also voting for state representatives and everything that the House will vote on in the next 4 years.

You can't seriously be pushing this narrative or equating these two men. Trump is on tape admitting to sexual assault.

I’m all for getting the orange out of office. Doesn’t make either of them suck less.

Vote third party!

Jo Jorgensen! Let’s have a woman in office!
[–]NurseRatched2099Pickmeisha™️2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Voting for a woman is apparently not allowed here! How ironic.
[–]christmasforoutlawsFDS Apprentice5 points6 points7 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
No one's saying it's not allowed, just that voting for someone who has no chance at winning in an extremely contentious election is a bad idea 🙄
[–]NurseRatched2099Pickmeisha™️0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Every election is contentious. And the vote isn’t about winning. It’s about giving her the opportunity to speak in a formal forum.
Besides, if the vote is between two rapists as was stated, why would you cast a vote for either?
[–]christmasforoutlawsFDS Apprentice4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Not as contentious as this one. She's not going to be given any opportunity to speak anywhere. She's just going to split the vote -- probably in Trump's favor.
I'm leftist, not liberal, but I voted down ballot blue because the opposition is much, much worse and I'm in a swing state.

Jo Jorgensen is a woman running for president. Shes who I’m voting for.

Why are ppl downvoting you? Lol
[–]MyDarlingGirlFDS Newbie6 points7 points8 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Because voting third party splits the vote (specifically the democratic vote), and third party has a near zero chance of winning so you're basically just sabotaging the democratic party for nothing.
[–]NurseRatched2099Pickmeisha™️-1 points0 points1 point 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
They have zero chance because fearmongerers complain about splitting the vote. People should vote for who they want to win.
A third party only needs 5% of the vote to get into the debates. That would be a huge. The two-party system pits one side against the other. That hasn’t turned out so great.
[–]MyDarlingGirlFDS Newbie4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
The stakes are too high this election. I'm not going to risk voting third party at such a pivotal time in our history and I don't think others should either.
Unfortunately change is extremely difficult with how things are structured. I wish that we had a multi-party system too. We have to use the only tool we have (voting for a major, established party) to make sure incompetent, dangerous, corrupt people are out of the white house.
[–]NurseRatched2099Pickmeisha™️1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Every election people will shout, “The stakes are too high this time!” And then they will never create the opportunity for a third party.
Ah well. Do as you like.

I trend politically conservative...but one of the women I often read about was Barbara Bush who understood the need for abortions. I will have lots of opinions on things, but telling a woman she can't choose her own life over an unborn child or any of the myriad of reasons a woman might choose abortion will never be one of them.

Agreed. The Surpreme Court has been conservative since 2017, and Trump’s been in office 4 years. Nothing happened beyond a couple states, choosing on their own, to further restrict access.

Damn I feel bad for Americans, the vote is between 2 devils. Joe is such an obvious pedophile as well, I just can't believe he's running.
And not to throw shade on american women, but what Trump has said is how men do indeed talk when they're alone with each other. So the man you're dating/fucking/your shitty husband have all said some similar shit. I wish women would protest against all male bullshit, not just when they feel like being performative woke.
It reminds me of how liberals called Lana Del Rey a cop-fucker while they're out here fucking blatant misogynists daily. America needs a whole revamp, that country is a mess.
