US House candidate, CA-33
I’m going to keep shouting this: with conservative control of Supreme Court, WH & Senate, the House can’t stop voter suppression. That means we must prepare voters to overcome it. If you’re going to vote by mail, then vote early. If you’re voting on 11/3, then expect long lines.

“Something definitely changed at the post office,” President of the American Postal Workers Union Mark Diamondstein says. “A few weeks ago, the new postmaster general put in some policies that we don’t think can do anything but slow down mail.”

1. Reality is Painful....but necessary

2. When Democrats retake the WH and the Senate, they should not only undo all the GOP minority

voter suppression plans, they should also create a whole new raft of voter suppression schemes targeting white, rural Americans.

3. you think we should become them?

That's not what democracy looks like.

[sop]

4. Sure, why not? We could do stuff like demand white voters name three Tyler Perry movies or ask

them to explain the differences between mariachi, norteño, and ranchera music before they could get a ballot.

7. Making voting access equal to all would do it...

Since the group you suggest is actually a minority. Your suggestions are simply not appropriate.

[WePurrsevere]

5. In a word, no. We are Democrats and should work on laws that PROTECT...

The right and ability to vote, and to have that vote counted, for ALL eligible voters.

We must always work towards repairing, rebuilding and protecting democracy, not act like spoiled children who whine, "Well, 'They' did it so we should too."

10. Sarcasm I assume

Or at least hope

We are not Them.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. I hope that this is more sarcastic than truthful

We're not them. We should not aspire to be like them.

[sop]

16. I think we need a sarcasm font.

6. Don't rely on the post office.

If you can’t drop your ballot off locally at the elections office or another collection box, then mask up and vote IN PERSON.

This election is too important to risk it.

11. THIS!!!

9. Mai in

Postal workers deliver the mail and will keep doing it. The new Trumpaloonies in charge will be as ineffective as the Jared and will not be able to put the Sabot in the machinery as quickly as they want.

A vote mailed and postmarked at the first opportunity will be delivered before election day ; 7 weeks id enough time to mail an elephant.

That leaves theft of mail as the only Republican recourse and serious jail time accompanies that .

[Thekaspervote]

12. Postal workers do their best, but there are already lots of reports of not receiving mail for days

Online tracking not working.

We shouldn’t take a chance with our ballots

[SoCalNative]

14. Not all of us will get ballots that early

My county won't begin sending mail-in ballots until October 5th. And that's L.A.

15. like i've said many, many times, fascists control 2/3rds of government, including states. nt
