In reply to the discussion: I may or may not get to vote in 2028. [View all]FakeNoose

... we need to engage the independent voters to connect with us and come over to our side. If we can't or won't do that, we won't have a chance of winning. In 2024 we didn't get enough indies, plus some of our own Dem voters stayed home.
As much as I love the ideals of the Democratic Party, I hate that we lose sight of the goal so often by engaging in petty squabbles and in-fighting. The independent voters don't want to hear that stuff and they turn off... maybe it's because they haven't been "entertained." (That's the only reason I can think of as to why someone would choose Chump over a Democratic candidate.)
Mineral Man, please stay healthy and live to fight another day.

Apply for an absentee ballot - we just did on the Secretary of State's web page.
