It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled.

Inflation and Recessions come and go, a woman’s right to personal healthcare should last a lifetime!!
HARRIS/WALZ for the White House and DonOLD for the Big House in 2024

Funny how Trump says it's too late to have another debate, "people have started voting", but MAGA is fine with changing voting laws up to voting day, like GA, NC, and NE.

3:55 Cancun Cruz abandoned Texans during the freeze in 2021. Time for Texans to reciprocate and vote to replace insurrectionist Cancun Cruz with Allred.

Do people understand what inflation is?
High prices don't equal inflation. Corporate greed is ripping you off.
The economy, jobs, even interest rates are better now.
For women, who could potentially die, there can be no greater issue.
It doesn't matter wether you want children or you have gone through the menopause, you probably have relatives or friends who are vulnerable.
This affects fathers as well and whole families.
You cannot ignore this dangerous policy.

Nebraskan voters need to call their politicians and get on their case about this.

We MUST vote blue and make our voices heard! Sitting out is not an option! Vote blue for America!

[ziziroberts]

No one is handing anything to anyone. Everyone must vote.

The People there have to VOTE the QOP Cults out if they want Changes.

I think every state should be closer to what Nebraska/Maine do. Maybe not exactly a popular vote, but a step towards everyone's vote counting equally.

[eboyd]

How can this be going on across the country and the Feds not do anything?

[martystamey]

No more cardboard in the windows No more making election workers leave and counting the votes😂

"[Ted Cruz] is almost wholly disliked by the people of Texas." And who _does_ like him? At least among those in their right mind.

[Dionysos]

If any state "cannot certify" its vote because of Repiglicans' cunning rule changes, let's leave that state out of the election entirely (it's their choice) and go with the votes we DO have. End of Repiglican threat.

Look up "Lady G" and "Little Ladybugs" and after you find those consider that Lindsay Graham has voted against LGBTQ having equal rights which he, himself, enjoys!

[wtfisthishandIebuIlshit]

It won't happen. If it does, Maine will do the same thing, and it will be a wash.

[ericwright]

Vote Blue. End the madness from Trump.
