I want to remind everyone that there are going to be elections next year in the US.

Local elections are very important because they will have a direct impact on you because you are choosing the people who will run your community and the people around you. Anecdotally I’ve heard that on the Republican side in various local governments are sometimes even more crazy than the ones at the federal level so it’s really important that these people get voted out.

The process of finding out information on your local elections depends on where you live but typically you can Google/DuckDuckGo/whatever search engine you use your city name with the words 2025 election after it. Also do the same for your county and your state. Or you can checkout the article I linked for different instructions on how to find information about your local election.

Also please search for information on the primaries, these are very important because they will determine who is going to be on the ballot come election day. It could be the difference between a win or a lose in the election.

I know I’m going to be phone banking and knocking on doors. If you’re going to do that may I suggest telling your friends that you’re doing it and asking that they join you?

In addition when you find out information about your local election be sure to share that info with anyone like-minded and tell those people to pass the information on farther. You can post on local social media groups, make posters and signs, do whatever you can to spread awareness.

Let’s make 2025 blue! We can do it together, when we unite we are strong!

    I felt that one! The more sane people we can get into office the better chances we have of survival and making it through another year. I’m really worried too but I’m going to do whatever I can to make things better.

      I have so far gotten things I never had:

      ✅ passport

      ✅ hand gun, ammo

      ✅ bugout bag with 3 months of food, water, and supplies

      And I’m a left-as-fuck anti-gun software developer… fuck thiiis shit.

        That’s very wise! I wish you safety and peace and hope the only thing you’ll ever need in that list is the passport to visit somewhere nice but if you do need those things I’m sure you’ll be very grateful for all the preparations you did ahead of time.
