No matter what state you live in, every vote counts.

Unless you vote for Jill Stein or any third party candidate - then that is an utter waste.

Get back to me when there is preferential voting in the US.

At this election there is only one way to prove you are against fascism.

Until then, remember:

Friends don't let friends vote for Stein.

“This was a hate rally. This was not just a presidential rally, this was also not just a campaign rally. I think it’s important for people to understand these are mini January 6 rallies, these are mini Stop the Steal rallies. These are rallies to prime an electorate into rejecting the results of an election if it doesn’t go the way that they want.”

"NPR...reported that 'more than 1,600 digital subscriptions had been cancelled less than four hours after the news broke.'

It was a reasonable impulse. But if Bezos is indeed why the Post is no longer endorsing candidates, and if people are worried about his outsize influence on our society, they should not be canceling their newspaper subscriptions. They should be canceling their Amazon Prime subscriptions."

Cancel Amazon Prime, Not ‘The Washington Post’

The subscription money enriching Jeff Bezos could instead be spent on the journalism crucial to preserving democracy.

^{Ellen Cushing (The Atlantic)}

11 years ago, as I prepared to leave Puerto Rico for the mainland United States, my father shared words that have echoed through time: "Your vote will be more impactful there than here." Never have those words rung more true than during this election cycle. To my fellow boricuas in the diaspora: we carry our culture, our heritage, and our power wherever we go. We must vote for the candidates who recognize, respect, and honor our identity and the resilience of our global community.

Jeff Bezos has caved in to fascism by forbidding his Washington Post editorial staff from endorsing Kamala Harris in a likely quid pro quo with Mango Mussolini.

Jeff Bezos engaged in illegal union-busting tactics, spending over $14 million in 2022 alone to undercut his employees' rights.

Jeff Bezos spent $500 million to build his personal floating mansion Koru, the tallest sailing yacht in the world that is so big, it has its own 250-foot support yacht.

Jeff Bezos, executive chairman of Amazon, extorts 50% of revenue from sellers on the monopolistic retail website Amazon.com.

Jeff Bezos this year bought his *fourth* private jet for $80 million, a Gulfstream G700 luxury business jet that travels near the speed of sound. Bezos’ plane made 28 flights in 39 days — leaving a carbon footprint of 264 tons, or 17 times what the average American emits in a year.

Jeff Bezos, as reported by ProPublica, filed a tax return in 2011 showing he lost money and received a $4,000 child tax credit from the US government during a year in which his wealth held steady at $18 billion.

I can go on and on, but how many reasons do you need to boycott anything he touches?

Cancel your Washington Post subscription. Cancel your Amazon Prime membership. Boycott Amazon.

You have alternatives. Don't feed the beast.

If the American public were better informed and fact-based, mis- and disinformation would not enjoy the level of success it does. Still, some people are educated yet disregard facts in service of cognitive dissonance and “team strong”, which is really team weak.

As a native Philadelphian, I'm thrilled to see the #PhiladelphiaInquirer show the rest of the nation's newspapers how a proper endorsement is DONE.

"If elected, Harris, 60, would be the first Black, South Asian woman to hold the nation’s highest office. She rarely references her historic candidacy, and instead is laser-focused on earning votes through the substance of her vision, ideas, and temperament."
