The early voting for the Midterms is now available in many places. You can early vote at a polling place: https://www.eac.gov/voters/register-and-vote-in-your-state
Or you can use mail-in voting: https://www.eac.gov/voters/national-mail-voter-registration-form
It’s highly recommended to avoid election day voting in person, and vote early.
Wait are you bringing Pine Gap as a point in favour to the US? “If the US falls so will global surveillance” should be something to be worried about? Lmao
It was a poor point on the assumption our friend was aussie.
Pine Gap illustrates the deep dependency of Australia on American military protection. If the US is further destabilised, then several former allies like Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan and others will have to find security partners with others, which incidentally is exactly what those type of accounts are rooting for.
“those types of accounts” meaning non-americans? I too welcome the fall of the US military hegemony. All those overseas bases serve the US way more than the hosting country, even though it’s always painted as the gracious protecting wing of uncle sam
Just aiming for the downfall of a nation of 330m people who have the most powerful military in the world while they are competely submissive to the most dangerous Zionist cult through blackmail isn’t going to be the fireworks you’re hoping it will be.
I am not under the illusion that it’s going to be fun. But the recent past and present aren’t either, and those 330m people have been dragging the remaining 8b in their folly
Yes, so let’s encourage them to vote and make a stand. In no recent election have we gotten close to a landslide win for anyone. Most elections are 51-49 affairs. Imagine what a blowout result could do to invigorate Americans to take their country back. Military industrial complex and all.
Because it’s a set up and a distraction. Every election is ‘the most important election’ or ‘the last chance to defend democracy’. Meanwhile Democrats get further and further right, even moderately left wing candidates are dragged, destroyed and disgraced, and it’s a bigger fucking circus every time. Your 2 party system is beyond broken, it’s working exactly as calculated and intended by the corporate interests that have completely captured and infiltrated it. You go ahead and vote but don’t fool yourself into thinking anything is going to change for the better no matter what happens.
