Offer rides to those that can’t get to voting booths on their own. Keep spreading the word to vote. If everyone votes, there would be no republikkklowns in office and we can progress as a country instead of regress.
Vote third party I guess, or not at all. Not sure if a third party is even allowed in the american voting system
you know there was an amendment that was created for dealing with unelected tyrants. uhhhhh one? three? hmmm, I can’t seem to remember…

I hear the French had good luck with guillotines.
Biden bombs wherever his campaign is located for suspected nuclear IEDs. In 25 years when congress is still investigating he’ll be dead too so the SC ruling that it wasn’t an “official act” will be moot as they can throw the bones in a jail cell for however long they want.
turning off voters is the biggest reason why we don’t vote imo in this environment and there’s nothing you can do about shitty choices that the democrats will give us; but there’s things you can do to overcome the other institutional part of it; aka gerrymandering:
setup free voting ride shares with free filling snacks in gerrymandered states that will pick each person up from home; drop them off at their polling station; pick them up from there; and then drop them off at home w/o having to wait for everyone to finish voting. the lines are VERY long and take hours in heavily gerrymandered places like houston texas and people hate voting already; so making them wait or skip dinner to vote is a non-starter.
setup free voting phone number and/or website that will help register you to vote (not just tell you what you need to do) on your behalf and include the option to mail you a pre-filled envelope and stamp if paper registration is required. advertise it HEAVILY on all forms of media everywhere and make it clear it’s not from the government.
then, assign a case worker to every client to ensure that the registration was completed and followup on the problems that gerrymandered places usually create to suppress votes. also get lawyers or people familiar with election laws to file inquiries on each voter’s behalf each time a gerrymandered place manages to find a reason to disqualify a voter or an employer refuses to let them off to vote and use that case worker to manage it.
expect it to fail the first few times because people hate talking about politics so they won’t listen for the first few cycles.
I could make a few effective suggestions, but I don’t want to end up on a list. My life sucks enough without getting in trouble for a joke.
Money. Donate. There isn’t a near term world where money won’t matter in giving you a voice, so you should use it.
Pretty sure the us parties have far too much money.
Don’t have Biden run for reelection. Pick any other half decent human and they should win.
Too late for that
The American way. See a problem, wait until it’s too late to fix said problem, point fingers at a scapegoat for why the problem wasn’t solved earlier, and repeat.
Convention hasn’t happened yet. It literally isn’t too late for that.
The problem is that the act of swapping candidates will seem to be so entirely clueless that whoever steps up to the plate is bound to lose.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. No one will spoil their chances for 2028 by being a late entry now. The democratic party is hunkering down for 4 more years of Trump is suspect.
They are not bound to lose.
That is a statement that is being pushed, along with the whole Biden “Over prepared” thing as a talking point to push why we have to stick with a dementia-addled genocidal asshole.
It’s simply not a true statement. You’re stating an opinion as fact, and it’s misleading as shit.
The second someone else gets picked is the second that they (Whoever they are) have name recognition and people will consider that person.
I hope you’re right. I want you to be right. And I agree at this point the Democratic Party ought to try - damn, they’re losing anyway so they might as well try.
My worry is that an alternative candidate that is worth their salt AND want to run against Trump can’t be found. I hope I’m wrong.
The convention hasn’t even happened yet? 🤔
Fairly successful strategy I’ve been using lately is to out-crazy the red team and feed em their own medicine. No one here needs to be told the libertarian party is just Far Right Lite™, but do you know their selling points? Cuz there is no chance in HELL I’ll be able to convince a Trumpanzee to vote for Biden, but I have been able to steer a handful of votes away from Trump and toward Chase Oliver - usually goes down like this: MAGAt will open the conversation by bitching about someone on the blue team - such as Hillary and her emails. I’ll AGREE with them, but lump her and Trump into the same category… “Idk how they get away with sending classified data on a private email server or printing it out and hauling boxes of it to their private residence. If I did hundredth of the crime Trump or Hillary committed, I’d spend the rest of my life in jail!”. Bitch about how both parties are doing the bare minimum just to stay in power etc; then start pitching 3rd as an alternative option.
‘Both sides’ em, and change their vote to “not trump” by pitching whichever 3rd most closely aligns with their impressionability (which is pretty much always the LP). Put the spoiler effect to good use.
And be weary of folks doing the same to you, especially here on Lemmy with all the ‘genocide Joe’ shit or encouraging apathy because of the shit debate.

I’m already quite weary of that!
(“Weary” means tired; you probably meant “wary” which means cautious)
I’m weary and wary of all this.
Don’t worry.
Came in to say this lol. Previous poster is right on my intent and correction, but god damn am I tired of this Nazi shit.
Move to a battleground state and vote there where your vote matters more.
Electoralist realism… lmao…
Long shot here: Donate to charities which help people in need in predominantly Trump held districts.
Less of a long shot: Volunteer for organizations like Vote Forward to try to reach folks. We’re all human beings at the end of the day, and appealing to people can’t hurt.
Maybe only Trump himself?
You can volunteer to text/call people. Donating will also help make a difference.
