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.

    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.

            https://myelectionday.sos.state.ms.us/VoterOutreach/Pages/VOSearch.aspx

            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.
