thinly veiled threats from the DNC?

fuck all the way off. Vote PSL if you’re gonna vote. The GOP and DNC can eat my whole ass.

    this whole "whether you vote is public record" shtick is the weirdest psyop ever, never mind the fact that I'v definitely voted in every election I've been an adult for but my record doesn't show anything after 2016, so those services that purport to show if a person voted or not are bullshit.

    Hang on. 2016 was when I started voting third party. Did I get put on a list?

    Just saw an ad during the nationally televised Lakers-Suns game on ESPN with the exact same message.

    "Your neighbors, family, co-workers can look up if you voted"

    Paid for by future forward, which I looked up and it's funded by Bloomberg, and run by "Moneyball style" quants agony-shivering

    Put mandatory voting in the fucking constitution if you want to coerce me to participate in bourgeoisie elections you fucking insufferable infants.

      I'm actually in favor of mandatory voting. You'd probably get more support for third parties that way.

    It's not really worth it to cut these stamps off and save them, but these stamps are like $1+ each.

      is it because of subject material? or scarcity? size?

      im not a stamp guy but its interesting that theyre worth more than their face value for whatever reason us humans have found.

    I find it so funny that libs think anyone will take these threats seriously. What are you going to do, vote my house on fire?

      Voting is a magical ritual that liberals use to manifest material change. The democrats could easily create a motion to create a committee to create a bill to light your house on fire. The bill, once signed into law, will allocate $420M to the task. $419,999,900 will go to various lobbyists and congress people in stonks or whatever, and the remaining will be used to buy 2 cans of aerosol bug spray, a lighter, and 2 hours of someone's labor to do the arson. The program takes over a decade because no BIPOC Pell grant recipient who has run a profitable business in a disadvantaged community for 3 years or more wants to take on the job.

      That’s liberal boomer penmanship IMO. The way the cursive ‘r’ is done is straight out of elementary school primer.

        I hate cursive, because the people most insistent on using it have the sloppiest penmanship. It's like me with chopsticks, but I at least don't make it everyone else's problem.

      These postcard writing campaigns happen every election as a gotv initiative. It is busy work to make liberals feel like they're doing praxis by LARPing as electoralist Jehovah's Witnesses, but this is the first time I've seen them be like "we're watching you," though.

        I went to a search engine and looked for something related to these mailers. Of course a Reddit link was the first result. Clicking on it, brought up a bunch of democrats talking about how this was done intentionally. The specific wording was supposed to guilt you into voting for their candidate.

        It’s fucking GOP-lite. How ‘lite’ is arguable.

      I voted PSL, and on some local stuff - I finally moved out of the boonies to an actual city, so I decided to be a good liberal and vote for or against things that actually affect me locally.

    I voted for Greens. I figure they're stronger now than ever before. Even if we all know a third party will never win I like that Jill Stein gets under the skin of liberals.

      I thought about voting green just because out of all the indies, she has the most recognition I think.

      But I remember something someone here said, to the effect of voting PSL shows that I want a socialist option. It stuck in my head, and is why I voted De La Cruz/Garza.
