When good people do nothing ...
The other side wins. It’s that simple.
Before you “withhold your vote” (for whatever reason) try to imagine what happens if the other side wins. The GOP are not quiet about what they want. They want the power to reverse election results. They want to limit who can vote. They want to get in between women and healthcare providers. They want to make cuts to social security. They want to reduce support for the Ukraine. They want to control the academic exchange of ideas to keep a very narrow segment of society comfortable, even if it means lying to children in schools. They want to replace science with ideology. They want to stop investigating the crimes of the last president and the insurrectionists and start retaliatory investigations to waste time and tax payer money instead of dealing with our many, very real problems.
They want to create a system in which they will never again lose control of the government.
They are not quiet about this. Believe them. There can be no, “I didn’t know what would happen.” They are telling you.
When good people do nothing, the other side wins. Can you live with that?
Vote. Find at least three associates who are planning to not vote and get them to the polls.

Regardless of your political affiliation, always vote at every election. For everything from abortion to minimum wage, the amount of time it takes to vote is minimal in comparison to the impact it will have on your life. People died for the right of universal suffrage. It really is that important.

Roe is not the end. Not even close. Clarence Thomas filed a concurring opinion calling to overturn the right to contraception, same-sex marriage, and privacy in the bedroom. This is their ultimate goal. If Republicans gain a majority, they are going to attempt to pass federal legislation on these issues, no longer making it a states’ rights issue either. Get every person you know to vote in this goddamn election—not because we can vote our way out of fascism, but because voting is the bare minimum. Get involved. Wake up and realize how unsafe you are. I know this is Tumblr, but I am a real lawyer telling you the Court has signaled that your entire lives can be upended. Do not be complacent.

Our voices matter. Our votes matter & we need to take this country back for the people, by the people. ALL the people
Republikkkans refusing to concede? So, grown ass men throwing temper tantrums because they're not getting their way? 🖕 We, The People, need to vote out nazis.
Republicans need to respect the will of the people.

It’s NEVER been about states’ rights. They will do this as soon as they get the chance and try to push a NATIONAL BAN.
VOTE, VOTE GODDAMNIT.
