Make a voting plan.

The early voting for the Midterms is now available in many places. You can early vote at a polling place: https://www.eac.gov/voters/register-and-vote-in-your-state
Or you can use mail-in voting: https://www.eac.gov/voters/national-mail-voter-registration-form
It's highly recommended to avoid election day voting in person, and vote early.

Post office is federal government under administrative branch. Consider not mailing completed ballot and use ballot drop off instead.
Sadly, not an option for everyone.
I just mailed mine in
My voting plan is that I already took my absentee ballot to city hall for early drop-off. So from here on out my job is to encourage voters to turn out
Incidentally, if you are in wisconsin, you can still register to vote right up through election day, as long as you are a citizen, and are not currently serving time or on paper for a felony. Go to www.myvote.wi.gov to register, find your polling location, find what’s on your ballot,etc. you can also request absentee ballots for no reason, however its too late in the year for those requests to be honored.
I log in on new years day to register for absentees every year, and text everyone I know wishing them well and asking them to do the same, since we all vote that way now. Its my tradition. My birthday is right around the spring election, which has notoriously bad turnout and super high-stakes positions like supreme court, so I have them send me a photo of their voted sticker or at least send a text telling me they did it. Civic participarion is a gift that keeps on giving if we do it right!
Excellent post. Thank you for the assist.
Dropped my ballot off yesterday afternoon at the official ballot box at my local library.
You just know there will be shootings...
Not all states have early IN PERSON voting unfortunately.. only select ones
... Gee I wonder why
False. Almost all states have early voting. Here’s Florida as an example.

Don’t spread voter disinformation please. The links to register are literally in the linked crosspost.

Perhaps I should have been more specific with not all states have early IN PERSON voting.
I don't trust the USPS with my ballot
No need to start swearing. You posted a falsehood, got called on it, and now posted your own correction. Happens. Breathe.
You’re entitled to your opinion about USPS, but millions of Americans do trust it, and it is a valid avenue to vote for those who can’t vote in person.
lol. Pack heat to melt ice
Look it’s a 16 day old account on a non-US instance fear mongering people to not vote. How interesting
You are handsomely making the point people need to vote early and organise themselves.
Oh look it’s a 2.5 year old account who encourages status quo politics and can’t wait for yet another midterm!
I’m in debate mode, so bring it on. What’s your brilliant solution my friend?
You can't really debate people that are brainwashed, unfortunately. Use your energy somewhere that it will matter. Let people that spew shit eat shit, as they typically do.
Also, I encourage everyone on lemmy that run into pieces of brainwashed shit to block them. That way you cut down on the noise.
Don’t vote, collapse, the rest of the world benefits. Seriously. Enough with the USA. Fine by me. If you’re in debate mode answer me this: if the United States falls, why would the rest of the world care?
If you’re in Straya, which your instance suggests, you should care a very great deal.
Go type in Pine Gap somewhere.
Wait are you bringing Pine Gap as a point in favour to the US? "If the US falls so will global surveillance" should be something to be worried about? Lmao
It was a poor point on the assumption our friend was aussie.
Pine Gap illustrates the deep dependency of Australia on American military protection. If the US is further destabilised, then several former allies like Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan and others will have to find security partners with others, which incidentally is exactly what those type of accounts are rooting for.
I’m not in Australia regardless of the tld
Ok, well, let’s assume you’re here with us on earth –and let’s hope you’re not the obvious kiwi laughing at the demise of the world from a small couple of islands in the Pacific, that are actually giant dormant super volcanoes.
If you can see the US led destabilisation in just the last 18 months, which may be difficult, because there is so much news. And if you understand exponential curves, which is even harder, then you tell me how leaving trump in office is fun, entertaining, or healthy for the future of the human race?

You seriously can’t be getting paid to come drop this here? It’s is so ineffective. Daddy Vladdy really should respect your time more.
