#vote!

Go to Ballotpedia for information on your state and local elections, who the candidates are, where they stand, and when and where to vote. You can also check your registration status, make sure you're registered to vote, and explore options for mail-in ballots if you need them.

Local elections matter! We have a chance to flip several governors seats and to change the landscape of Congress this November, maybe not enough to turn things around in the short-term, but perhaps enough to forestall them getting worse.

In a battle of inches, never let your opponent think they're a ruler.

Make your voice heard!

And for anyone about to reply with both-sides-suck bullshit or doomer nonsense or lol voting is a waste of time - either you've learned nothing from the past ten years and you're willfully ignorant or you're already embracing the boot on your neck. In either case, shut the fuck up.

To spread the propaganda of our king of sexy rock and roll hell, I will ALSO be opening art requests for anyone who votes in any! Of! These! Polls!
