If we can’t be bothered to vote in the primaries, wjy would anyone believe us that a progressive candidate would somehow lure millions more to vote?
As I know the comments will be, uhhh, fun, I’ve turned off reply notifications.

It’s an open-book test. You don’t have to memorize anything. Everyone else has this figured out.

You’re giving excuses that make no sense. No one is saying to vote a straight party ticket. Do your research, take notes on the candidates, go vote. Why are you inventing this memorization nonsense?
You’ll find that, while each candidate can have positions that you agree with and that you don’t, but you probably have a pretty good idea which issues matter most to you, so you can focus on those issues. If they say things you agree with about things you care about, and they don’t seem like liars, vote for them. You’ll probably find one party’s platform aligns with your preferences, and you only need to keep track of the ones not in that party if you really want to memorize the candidates. Or, find an organization you agree with and start from their recommendations.
But just bring your notes to vote, if you’re allowed. My state is 100% mail-in voting, so I can fill out the ballot as I research. How many candidates are in your elections that is causing you to panic like this?

They’re on the ballot, that’s not secret information, you literally just have to google it
Okay, I’ve been searching, and found this site…
https://myelectionday.sos.state.ms.us/VoterOutreach/Pages/VOSearch.aspx
“The address you entered cannot be found”
My literal home address. Cannot be found…!?
Yes I’ve checked other sites such as https://vote411.gov/, I get squat, no list of candidates or anything.
Or not. Not Google anyways…
It your search engine of choice, holy shit, you’ve spent more time coming up with idiotic excuses to not do something than the time it would take to have done it
This site says my literal home address cannot be found…
https://myelectionday.sos.state.ms.us/VoterOutreach/Pages/VOSearch.aspx
And yes, I’m checking other sites as well, but any which way I go, I’m getting either errors or nothing.
Name me one search engine that isn’t tainted and slap full of AI slop for answers anymore. My goto is DuckDuckGo, and even they’ve done incorporated AI now. ☹️
Is it that hard to understand, especially in these times, why I’d prefer to ask questions and hopefully get a few answers from actual humans, beyond ‘jUsT goOgLE iT’…?
That is the answer though unless you want to tell random internet strangers where you live.
Election systems are run locally so we can’t even really direct you to what type of local office to contract without knowing that
You’re not listening to the answers though, only making more idiotic excuses.
How many candidates? How the fuck am I supposed to know?
I’m from Mississippi, and literally signed up for our Congressman Mike Ezell, he’s literally too busy patting himself on the back to bother with voters opinions…
“I was honored to join Admiral Lunday, the Austal USA team, and our Coast Guard partners in Mobile this week for the keel laying of the USCGC Pickering, the first Heritage-class Offshore Patrol Cutter to be built at Austal. A keel laying is more than a shipyard ceremony — it marks the beginning of a vessel that will help defend our nation, protect our waters, and support Coast Guard missions for decades to come.”
Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to keep the wildlife habitat sustainable, but how the fuck am I supposed to answer how many candidates we have? Beyond Mike Ezell and Tate Reeves, I don’t know who is running for what…
Edit: Mobile is in Alabama, not Mississippi
Apparently Ezell is more for war I guess 🤷
There should be a free voters guide that gets mailed to all registered voters, and is available at the library.
Oh cool, that sounds fun. Ever been to South Mississippi?
Guess not, as our library literally kicked like ~200 people out of the voting line for the 2016 elections…
I’ve been to the Mississippi League of Women Voters website. Vote 411. Maybe stop bitching and actually try.
Oh, so Vote 411 was actually a link? Well you coulda saved me digging through AI slop and just posted the link https://www.vote411.org/
Anyways, that site is useless for giving a list of the potential candidates or anything, it can’t even name our Secretary of State. Matter of fact it doesn’t give any names at all.
I searched further and ran across this site. Seems perfectly legit and all, but the goddamn site says my literal registered home address cannot be found.

Isn’t the internet/AI slop wonderful?
I’m so glad that experienced voters are like just go google it, fucking useless.
Are you capable of wiping your own ass? Honest question. Cause it seems like you are too incompetent to manage anything.
Vote 411 gives you literally everything you need. You don’t even try.
Ballotpedia. Doesn’t do local elections everywhere but still.
