They are designed to look like bikes. They have “bike” in their name. But to be clear, these are powered scooters.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Voter turnout amongst young people is traditionally abysmal. That more are voting this time is great, but it’s still going to below 50%. Well, except for conservatives. They show up.

Please, people, voting takes less effort than a pub crawl. Just vote.

That’s why we ALL need to vote. No excuses, just do your minimum civic duty and vote, if only to cover the margin of shenanigans that the GOP is counting on to cause trouble.

And even more women need to vote, particularly young women. And hey, young men who have an interest in human rights should vote too. In droves.

There are vast political differences between elected officials within each of the two main parties. That’s how the nation compensates for the two party system. Change a party from within -it’s absolutely possible and has been done before- instead of pissing and moaning that your little boutique clique “party” isn’t popular.

Whoever is selling you your narrative is lying to you. I firmly believe that a Harris loss will pave the way for a Trump hotel and luxury condos in Gaza. And the U.S. will become a dictatorship. But believe whatever you want. Just know that the people handling the anti-Harris narrative never talk about the Republican view on Gaza or the fact it’s Congress that votes on the aid, not the President.

Don’t forget to vote third party to teach the Democrats a lesson about genocide….

Seriously the American Gaza protests are 100% about disenfranchising Democrats. They absolutely never go after Republicans. Ever. Ask them about this and they get suuuuper defensive and angry.
