Vote because your down ballot races and initiatives need it.

Here in Colorado, I am fairly certain that Hickenlooper and Biden will win.

But I’m less sure that @BriannaForCO, my amazing house rep, will prevail. I don’t know about the income tax measures on the ballot that would gut state funding in the middle of a massive budget crisis.
There’s an abortion ban on the ballot. I’m not taking chances with that.
And, you know, it felt GOOD to vote against Trump and Gardner. My vote did more good than the many, many phone messages I left for Gardner’s office, which I suspect were just tossed in the bin.
Vote because the DA and the sheriff will directly impact the lives of minorities in your community. Vote because your county coroner could determine whether your trans loved ones are treated with dignity at death.
Vote because your state and local government will help determine how your house districts are divided after the census comes in, and will help determine how easy it will be for you to vote *next* time.
Vote because every vote for Biden is an arrow in Trump’s egomaniac soul, and the larger the margin, the worse he is going to feel on election night.
Is he going to lose to Sleepy Joe Biden? He very well might.

Is he going to get CRUSHED by Sleep Joe Biden?

Make it so.
Vote as a message to the Republican party that the time for fascism and not caring about each other is over, and they had better get their shit on the line or end up being relegated to history with the Whigs.
Vote.

And then go find your local GOTV operation and volunteer in whatever way they think necessary. And if they think they need your help virtually in another state, do that.

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
