Honestly, if you’re in the US, please vote. Don’t let a fascist take control. Don’t think that it can’t possibly happen there. This might be your last chance to vote. Don’t waste it. Sitting it out won’t help your cause but it will definitely endanger a lot of lives. That’s my take on it.

Whether it's Trump or Harris, a fascist is going to win the U.S. presidential election. Those of us opposed to fascism can vote for Jill Stein. Even though it's clear she's not going to win, we have the opportunity to build an anti-fascist alternative in American politics.

Man, stating one's opposition to fascism sure does bring out some stellar reply guys, huh?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Indeed. Voted early for Harris-Walz. And stretching the meaning of the word #fascist to claim that both candidates are fascist doesn't change the reality. The USA has always had fascistic elements. But only #Trump will set up an overt fascist dictatorship. And if he wins, any and ALL approaches to making a better world will become 1000 times harder. I cast Green Party protest votes in 2016 and 2020, when Trump would not have been able to realize his fascist dream. Not this time.

Totally agree, and I hope it can be retoot to the Universe 😎

Both are evil. Harris is less evil.

Harris supports genocide, but so is Germany. The world is getting back to where we were in the 1920-30s. It's sad.

Thank you! :cat_hug_triangle: I'm also worried from the EU side of the pond..

Even if you take the replies at face value, too many people seem to think the POTUS is a ceremonial position, and so voting or not on principle without regard to the actual outcome is a meaningful thing.

Results matter. They have consequences. A vote which increases the chances of Trump winning ONLY means a higher chance of Trump winning.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

Calling your opponents fascist is puerile, and may well deter people from voting for your candidate. Are you trying to get Trump over the line?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Thank you, and you are correct. If he wrests power again American democracy is over. No hyperbole.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I plan on voting, and am doing all in my power to prevent American Hitler from taking Power

seems a good a place as any to post this. Feel free to share it with your #fascist friends. It always sounds great, until they come for you.

Unfortunately in the US, unless you live in a "swing state" your Presidential vote doesn't even matter, due to "first past the post" and our archaic "electoral college" systems. If team red gets 50.0001% of the popular vote, they get 100% of the electoral college votes, which are also not evenly distributed among the states. Team red has gotten 100% of my state's votes since 1976.

Also if you're team blue, your only option is Kamala. Why? Biden said so.

Our elections are political theater.

tRump and his campaign manager Paul Manafort colluded with Russia in 2016; in 2020 he colludes with Rudy Colludy, and now he is colluding with broligarch Elon Musk!
in reply to Eugen Rochko

the presidential vote is already decided in more than 4/5ths of our states. but yes.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Thank you for this important reminder, Eugen. Many of us can feel the weight of this election and the consequences it may bring. Every vote is a chance to protect the values we hold dear and to support leaders who respect democracy and human rights. Sitting out isn’t an option when so much is at stake—not just for us, but for future generations. Let’s all show up, stay engaged, and make sure our voices count.

Thank you for using your platform to encourage participation!

Meanwhile, can you make a way to have a filter that can take out 'US' without filtering the word 'us'?

I'm european and am pretty annoyed by the huge overload of usual 'merica!!' crying posts on my timeline about 'harris yeaaayy' and 'trump booo' and what not.

There's tons of european posts which I'd like to see since I'm in EUROPE.

28 countries FFS with thousands of updates, and all I see is 'merica!!!' As if it's not a SETTING.

Get it fixed please, thanks.

I agree. From #Detroit-based #Socialist journal #AgainstTheCurrent: "Socialists should support the #HarrisWalz ticket, not because they represent a significant progressive alternative, but because it gives us four more years in our democracy — such as it is — to organize social and political movements to fight for the working class and the oppressed and raise the ideal of democratic socialism." #USPol #Harris2024 #Politics #Vote2024 https://againstthecurrent.org/atc232/why-socialists-must-defeat-trump/

Also, if you simply cannot vote for a woman, or a Democrat, just sit this one out.

And also, do better. Think of your nation over you bias.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

And just so we're clear, Jill Stein is not who to vote for. Jill Stein will not win. Even if you despise Harris, pinch your nose and vote for her, because if you vote Harris you'll be able to vote again in 2028, and on all the issues that matter her stance is closer to correct than Trump's. If you vote Trump you won't necessarily. If you vote Stein...well, in 2016, Russia meddled in favor of Stein, which should tell you enough to know not to vote for her (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/russians-launched-pro-jill-stein-social-media-blitz-help-trump-n951166).

Thanks @Gargron!

Even if you're not based in the US, if you're an American citizen you can vote from whatever country you're currently living in. Many states are still accepting new registrations, but hurry - there's no time to lose. Please go to https://votefromabroad.org, register and request a ballot right away!

This is not a drill!

in reply to Eugen Rochko

Your take is 100% correct...which is why I wrote this parody of DJT set to American Psycho... feel free to share.

Clear and present danger…

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

Vote as if you life and future depends on it, because it does…

I am highly concerned, as a moderator on this platform, that if Trump wins, there is a certainty that he will let Elon Musk call the shots at the #FCC and #FEC as a kickback for his full support for the campaign, which will directly threaten the North #American #Fediverse #servers. I need to post the full endorsement here, but I am definitely telling people on this network that they need to VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS, if for no other reason than to keep our comms open.
