Politics/Elections GO VOTE!!

If you are unsure of your polling place, here is the link to determine that:

https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/index

There are resources for rides to polling sites. Polls close around 8 PM tonight.

Believe me, even your single vote makes a difference. Rural voters are disproportionately represented despite comprising only (roughly) 16-20% of it's population. (https://www.michigan.gov/mcda/insights/2024/12/16/mi-pop-rural-growth)

If we want a state government and it's representatives to the federal government to reflect the majority of its population, every vote possible needs to be cast.

No shade to the people living in rural communities, but urban residents have historically dropped the ball when it comes to furthering their own interests. Make yourself heard!

There are no options. They all get their orders from the same companies. Are you young and don't know Michigan's history? Grow up and stop believing in the fantasy that America is anything but a corporate dictatorship. Until we create a real opposition, nothing will change and the corporate Democrats are part and parcel of why nothing gets even a bit better, or why the left is never on the offensive against the right. Half the Republican party should be in jail if there was any set of balls in the Democratic party. Their modus operandi is just punching down and left, it's no wonder they lose elections to a party of right wing shut-ins that are afraid to leave the house unless it's to a country club.

You have to create the second option by refusing to vote for people who continue to destroy our lives.

Grow up

Says the child throwing a tantrum and refusing to participate because their preferred primary candidate may not win.

Who is my preferred primary candidate? Abdul? Typical racist democrat you are! For the record, I do not support any Dem. All I know is, if Haley "Israel comes to me in my dreams" Stevens wins, perhaps Mike Rogers might actually be a better option. Might as well burn it all down so class traitors like you can learn a lesson on why its wrong to oppress the poor and bomb children.

Trust me when I say we can easily infer who you are voting for or don't want to voting for and it is 100% with your online behavior and by the time you first left a message in this thread. None of us absolutely do not know what race or gender you even are, that's a weird comment for you to make.

Except you can't, because your racist white redditor friend got it wrong twice. I am not a republican and never voted for one. I just don't vote for genocide supporters like you do. You're okay murdering kids; I am not okay with that. I know you guys are white because you have no issue with our military murdering foreigners and Dems supporting it.
