Be a part of that change. Run for local office and or encourage other progressives around you to do the same

Change quite often starts locally and flows up. Those in the national party very usually come from state offices and work their way up. Make that pool of people as progressive as possible

Make no seat uncontested

Organize in every place you can. Beyond just elections, organize for unions, organize to protest, organize to stand with your community, do not given in to the complacency that the far right wants you to have

Power is not be given freely, you have to fight for it. That fight lives on and is worthwhile. Things will get worse before they can get better. But we can lay the groundwork for the future to be better

Find your polling location. Go vote!

Your ballot will be deciding much more than just the president. Even if you did theoretically think both presidential canidates were equal in all regards (they aren’t), then vote for the down ballot races!

Keep your local school boards from having insane people on it that will ban books and harm your kids or your neighbors’s.

Vote for the constitutional ammendment questions and ballot initiatives. For instance, many states have either pro and anti abortion questions on their ballot.

Easily pushed around by dictators and billionaires, not so easily pushed by average citizens

Harris is more able to be influenced by public pressure which is what John Oliver is trying to get at

Also also worth noting that there’s also even phone banking on Tuesday on election day too if you want something to do that day beyond just voting (if you have not yet voted)

Vote, volunteer, get involved

And also remind and encourage any dem-leaning friends, family, neighbors, etc. you know to go vote!

Plus also make sure to encourage and remind any dem leaning people you know to get out and vote. Friends, family, neighbors, etc it makes more of a difference than you might think

There’s a decent chance Walz runs to be president in the future if Harris wins and I think he’d probably do fairly well in a primary and general

Fox news would never be so concerned about such “details” like “hey that’s obviously not a fox, what are you on about” /s

(I uploaded the wrong photo)

Fox news yet again lying through omission and blatantly forgetting the important news of foxes eating watermelons

General tip to all: don’t repost their stuff verbatium as it inadvertently helps to give it a platform

Independent of the campaign there’s also a bluesky mirror someone set up but it doesn’t have video mirrored. I know bluesky has only just recently started rolling out video support, however

Also as a note in general:

As far as I can tell kamalahq account posts the same twitter posts to their threads account. So you can avoid going to twitter by just looking for the exact same post on threads

In fairness sometimes small tiny differences like that do turn out to be significant. But measurement error usually wins out most of the time

Some democratic states have actually done that like California and New York. There’s been bills from some dems representatives to do that federally in the past

If dems get a tricecta, I suspect some dems would push for that again

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

1st ammendment of the US constitution

“Concepts of a plan” is probably the best quote imo

I should have checked further, oops, I changed the title

They are actually stating that back up again

Not OP, but just made a version of this post that doesn’t give any traffic to elon musk
