Hey do y’all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.

It has been widely recognized by American intelligence agencies that Russians are disseminating false information and have been urging citizens not to vote, the same as they did in 2016.

Do not fall for it!!! Your voice matters!!! Your vote counts!!!

In fact, a Russian was just charged with interfering in the 2018 election for funding online propaganda efforts to manipulate voters.

Don’t trust anything that tells you not to vote, or to vote in a direction that won’t change anything. Remember that the people in power are actively trying to stop you from voting, because your vote matters.

VOTE!!!!

If it wasn’t important, they wouldn’t be trying to take this right away from you.

Yeah, I was pretty appalled when I saw all the things that make voting harder for you peeps in the US.
It’s not okay and would be deemed unconstitutional in my country, as it is truly trying to take away the right from you.
(And yes, I live in a country with plural democracy and since we hit 18 we all automatically get the voting papers in the mail at least a week before the vote, so we can check the parties and candidates in peace at home.)
