Exactly. Read international newspapers, go to council meetings, write letters to the editor and to your various electeds, participate in townhall meetings, attend marches and rallies, join local civics organizations working toward the goals you share... #DemocracyIsNotASpectatorSport #DoYourDuty

Tricky Dick #Nixon is turning over in his grave (or looking up from Hell, shaking his fist). The people of #Whittier understood the assignment. #DemocracyIsNotASpectatorSport #DoYourDuty #VoteBlue #PeopleOverMoney #DemocracyPrevails #ThePeopleHavePower #HopeWins #VoteOutRepublicans #GOPAreFascists

And this is the crux of the issue: voter apathy. We've done this to ourselves. I spent more than a decade of my youth trying to get people off their asses and paying attention--all the time, not just the weeks leading up to an election. #DemocracyIsNotASpectatorSport #DoYourDuty #Vote #PayAttention

Another example of why it's vital to pay attention to what your local officials are doing. We have more power over local, county, and regional electeds and must use that power to thwart corruption. #DueProcess #RuleOfLaw #ElectionIntegrity #KnowYourRights #DemocracyIsNotASpectatorSport #DoYourDuty
This! #DemocracyIsNotASpectatorSport. It requires that each of us spend time to evaluate all the candidates and ballot measures, using a variety of trusted sources. #Project25 was widely available before the '24 election. His reputation and actions were well documented. #GOP = #GuardiansOfPedophiles
I wish the trailing Dem candidates would just drop out already. #California #JunglePrimary #Election #DemocracyIsNotASpectatorSport #DoYourDuty #Vote
The reality is, to avoid the "choice" between two #rightwing Repugnicans in Nov., voters *must* choose whichever candidate is leading the Democratic pack come June. #California #JunglePrimary #Election #DemocracyIsNotASpectatorSport #DoYourDuty #Vote

Ah, sorry, I see this is specifically for Michiganders. Thanks and LFG, #DemocracyIsNotASpectatorSport ⚖️🇺🇲🗳️
Take a good long look folks. This is what our gov't has been doing in our name for more than 120 years.
This has been our so-called "Manifest Destiny."
And here we are, ready to take over the world and fulfill it.

They're opposition party alright.
The controlled opposition party.
Understand that and everything makes sense.
They have absolutely zero interest in doing anything to save us.
It's up to us now - and always has been.
May we never forget.
