  2. Damn shame we’re not gonna have elections anymore.

  3. What changed to motivate democrats to vote? Kind of weird

  4. Vote. Vote. Vote. Please be sure to vote. 

    If these heinous policies impact the least of us, they impact all of us and that means you. 

    Vote. Vote. Vote. 

    Yeah. Both sides suck and we need more than two awful parties BUT until Trump and this brand of Republicans are gone, the only way to beat them is to vote for the only viable alternative and that means voting Dem. 

    Vote. Vote. Vote. We may not have many more chances. 

  6. They will say that, then find one time the candidate was sick during a pointless vote against renaming a military base or something as an excuse to not vote again

  7. We told you every day during the last election. Check Project 2025. Every day. 

    Now it’s expensive, expensive damage mitigation. Again.

  8. It’s almost like all of Republican Congress just voted to protect a known pedophile.

  9. That’s until some progressives start winning primaries and the party bosses start openly campaigning for the fascist Republicans because if there’s one thing moderates can’t stomach it’s a little tiny bit of progress. 

  11. Don’t just vote – participate. Ensure the vote is valid, If you’re in a red area and have no political past, embed yourself with republicans and watch them closely. Document everything.

    Better yet, run for local office, as a republican if you have to, Primary from within wherever you can.

    These people rape kids for fun. It’s worth your time to put a turd in every punch bowl.

  14. Yeah I’m happy bout this…. But also furious! How was the last election not important to you

  16. Sure would have been nice if they were motivated around November of last year.

  18. Cool, so now you want to vote. But, when it mattered you did a “not voting” protest because Kamala didn’t go through the primary because Biden, like many other Dems don’t know when to retire. Looking at you RBG who deleted her entire legacy by her own choice.

    You were left with “The Democrat option I don’t like but doesn’t conflict with my views” and “literally everything I oppose” and you went with, “gonna skip this year”

    Please. Vote this time, but always remember that you are part of why we are where we are today.

  19. I’ll believe it when I see it. The party’s approval rating is still the lowest it’s ever been and they’ve done nothing to fix it. Relying on Trump being bad doesn’t work anymore. They have to deliver meaningful change now by any means possible.

  20. Yes, of course, we’re extremely motivated to vote but ONLY if we get candidates we like, not least terrible candidates.

  21. Well, we’re going to need it with all the gerrymandering that is in the works.

  22. Imagine if you all came out to vote in November. You could still bitch all you want about Kamala, hold the DNCs feet to the fire, and continue to vote for more progressive candidates, and the best part is we wouldn’t have a fascist xenophobic pedophile tearing our country down for the next 4 years. But you didn’t

  23. If only they’d be motivated before the bad stuff happens.

  24. Why weren’t they extremely motivated to vote last year? Did they really forget Trumps first term?

  25. Y’all are annoying with your defeatist attitude. Yeah, it would have been nice last year. It’s also nice next year. 

  26. I don’t have faith the current regime will hold, let alone honor, an election. I assume he will just say no, and when the courts say otherwise,  he will have ICE (which has more money than the Marines) step in and seal the deal. 

  27. Now if they just come out in the primaries it would be great.

  28. If only the incumbents for the Democratic Party were more serious on their platform and didn’t participate in rhetoric as well. It became a contest of agendas, let’s be honest…one side won, and we are reeling off the consequences at light speed

  29. Can’t relate, have been highly motivated to vote for almost 20 years.

  30. The idea that there are democratic voters who are ever not motivated to vote is pretty fucking shameful.

    Anyone who is willing to let their country go to shit because they can’t be bothered to get off their ass and vote is pretty reprehensible and should lose their right to complain, when they’ve done absolutely nothing to affect change.

  32. /cheech Better late than never 

    But yeah let’s hope we have some. 

  34. Former republicans who are now registered independent are also motivated to vote now to send a message to TACO at the mid terms

  37. Who really cares. We have trump for 3 and a half more years and he is done. Damage is done.

  38. Now that my house is on fire, I’m thinking about getting a smoke alarm and extinguisher…..

  39. Wow, if only someone could have predicted what another Trump presidency would look like and warned them a year ago.
