Honestly, I believe people deserve what they #vote for, so, if the government wants to cut #Medicaid, #Medicare, and #socialsecurity, just cut registered #Republicans, and keep everyone else on the programs. Problem solved.

#Voting is the beginning, not the end.
Another way to frame it is: #Vote *and*...
What comes after the *and* depends on your circumstances. Here are some things, and this is a partial list. Before you do anything, evaluate where you're at and what you can reasonably expect yourself to do. It's not *all* on you or anyone else, so don't over-commit.
- Most people can make some choices about consumption. What you purchase and from where you purchase it. If you are struggling to make ends meet, this may be all you can do.
- Some people have time and good phone plans. If that's you, you can also call your #senators and your #congress critter (gender-neutral term).
- Some people have time and mobility. If that's you, you can show up. This can mean protesting, volunteering, etc.
- Some people have money. If that's you, you can support independent journalists, or #candidates running against #fascism, legal funds, community organizations, etc.
- Some people have skills, and time or money. If that's you, you can run for office, volunteer in your community, or get together with community members to address an unmet community need.

I don’t believe in the Australian myth that home ownership is a worthy goal.
I know that safe, secure, private and long term housing is a human right.
I will be voting in line with this knowledge.

My fellow Canadians and my fellow Americans,
Our votes matter! This is why unpopular politicans are trying to suppress us:
Completed my postal ballot for #WECAmayor ready to post in the morning.
Some people keep supporting 45, and you can understand why.
It's hard to admit when we might have made a mistake, especially a big one.
Imagine if you thought your choice might not be good for your family or country.
That would feel awful!
Some might find it easier to keep supporting the same person rather than wondering if they chose wrong.
We all make mistakes sometimes.
The important thing is that everyone gets to #vote for who they want, even if others disagree.
Thank you Canada. I will again do my democratic duty and vote for the best candidate, which onviously is not the Maple MAGA party.

I often just wish I could ask them, what made you like this?!
Seriously, how does someone who claims to be a patriot and claims to love their country and democracy, get off at the idea of denying people the right to vote?
Truthfully, MAGA sound like Nazis' day by day. Very cruel, while being very calculated, and truly sure of themselves, regardless of how morally and ethnically bankrupt they are.
