Here’s a little secret: Americans vote for Congress and the President on the same ballot!
Since Republicans accept the results of House & Senate Congressional elections, they obviously know this is a legitimate election.
It’s time for them to act like it.

"There is a pervasive sense among current and former GOP officials that the president’s behavior is irresponsible if not dangerous, but a divide has emerged between those influential Republicans willing to call him out publicly and those who aren’t"

Tweeting "Learn to code" at Trump with sufficient frequency to become a hero to hashtag resist twitter. Using the trust gained to subtly convert them to Marxist-Rawlsianism. Launching and coordinating a general strike from my twitter feed. Full communism by 2023.

Some context around this moment in the US, by @L__Macfarlane

The right-wing Heritage Foundation collected data over a 36-year period and could only find 1,285 cases of voter fraud out of nearly two billion votes cast.
That's a rate of .0000007%.
About the same probability as being hit by an asteroid.

After narrowly losing election for governor in 2018, she led a crusade to register 800k voters in Georgia - 45% of those new voters are under the age of 30 and 49% are people of colour.
“I sat shiva for 10 days. Then I started plotting.”
Never say die.

It’s reported that Stacey Abrams worked relentlessly to register over 800,000 new voters across Georgia who were affected by voter suppression in time for the U.S elections.
That is some impact 👏🏾🇺🇸

an artist as big as @simphiwedana coming out is a MASSIVE deal. we live in an ultra-queerphobic country. queer artists generally face a lot of deliberate erasure. the lived experience of queer people in this country is not a few lines in the Constitution, tweets or TV storylines
