   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.

     @Gargron 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.

     @Gargron 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.

     @Gargron 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.

     @Gargron 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!

     @Gargron 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/

     @Gargron 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!

     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…

     Unfortunately, we see the effects of not wanting to see here in Germany again

     But I also see resistance and this is important, I also see it in the USA.

     Voting is important

     Voting wisely even more so
