It’s really unfortunate/frustrating/sad to see the apathy from some… members of our Society, who think that exercising their Right To Vote is somehow bad or otherwise fruitless. (Unless Russian/North Korean/Iranian bots have infiltrated this subreddit??? We already know how much damage they have wreaked havoc on our society.)
I welcome this DAILY reminders that YES—WE THE PEOPLE can affect Change. I get it—for far too long we’ve had a bunch of primarily out-of-touch Plutocrats/old white dudes who wish that their ancestors hadn’t lost “the war of Northern Aggression”(aka: Confederacy losing the ability to “own” their fellow Human Beings) and only care about hoarding all the money/resources away from the “common people”.
As much “weaker” Democracies around the world have shown us recently (SERBIA! BRAZIL!), that YES we have the POWER and there is strength in numbers.
Not sure where you stand on the current Candidates and proposed Amendments?
http://www.lwv.org (League of Women Voters)
https://ballotpedia.org/Florida_2026_ballot_measures
These 2 orgs are very reputable & will NOT lead you astray.
As far as candidates go:
—if you are tired of the Cost of Living continually going up (gas/diesel! food! rent/mortgage/insurance!);
—if you are tired of the Fat Cats in Washington NOT DOING THEIR JOB: where has Congress gone? specifically the GOP??? how is it they get paid >$100,00/year with excellent benefits/health care when it appears they have done jack 💩 and are allowing a Demented/Sundowning 80y/o start “wars that will be won on Day 1!” without Congressional Approval, literally steal from money from the American people/quadruple the Deficit to MORE THAN $2 TRILLION USD (per https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/ as of 09/30/2026), and otherwise do NOTHING to appropriate govern the USA;
—if you are tired of FAKE promises: I’m still waiting on the “$5,000 D.O.G.E. check”, the promise of “a Healthcare Plan on Day1!”, any numbers of empty words from a 💩 “businessman” who has been known for decades to stiff anyone/everyone;
—if you are tired of: the 0.001% Billionaire class making the decisions that suit their interests, rather than the other 99.9999999999999% of the American populace who actually pay for the bulk of all $$$ spent in this country (including family members & close associates of this regime pilfering your tax $$$ being used for their personal gain);
—if you are tired of: your military friends/family/neighbors who served with Pride & Dignity being dogged, and prefer that a raging Alcoholic (who is clearly NOT in recovery & the stress of that job clearly increasing his drinking & POOR decisions) bleeding Active Duty & Retired Vets dry so that he can bomb Iran, while he is killing Americans & innocent children overseas in a “war” that serves NO PURPOSE other than using up all of the U.S. Military’s heavy weaponry/bombs (and this administration’s bone-headed/amateur/laughable attempts at “taking over” Iran for their vast oil reserves);
—if you are tired of: a Demented/Sundowning 80y/o who is literally committing treason against US, the American citizen, all because he didn’t want to be HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR RAPING WOMEN, GIRLS, & BOYS;
—If you are upset that $10 MILLION of Florida Medicaid dollars for CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE went to political advertisements saying to Vote Against Recreational Marijuana;
—if you are tired of basic services traditionally handled on the State/Federal level, and this current administration (both State & Federal) attempts at selling them off to the highest bidder/made available only to those who can pay (i.e.: Governors attempt at meddling with both in the Public School Curriculum/banning discussion of slavery, taking over of a Liberal Arts school to make it “secondary education institution of conservative thought”, punishing Educated Public School Teachers {Hope McMath teaching an approved AP Art History class curriculum at DA} to attempt to silence teachers to allow teaching of his/GOP narrowly approved view points, etc, etc, etc, etc)
—if you are tired of ignorant white men who haven’t had a Biological Sciences class since high school thinking that it’s ok to dictate what an educated, qualified Medical Profession can do/perform/operate on, especially when it comes to Women’s’ care;
—if you plainly see that this is Treasonous behavior from the (Hate Group) Heritage Institute, and you see how their greed and lust for Power has made your life, your family’s life, your neighbor’s life WORSE instead of Better than your parents/grandparents;
—if you are tired of Law Enforcement being used as a personal security force, racially profiling your fellow American citizens (which some even being illegally deported to a country they’ve never lived in);
—If you are tired of 10+ years of verifiable LIES being shoved down your throat;
VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT! Why? because Your Life *literally* Depends on what the Founding white dudes of the Colonial Era enshrined 250 years ago—a life free of an oppressive, tyrannical maniac “king” (who only cared about extracting as much $$$/resources from the Plebs/common people, to pay for a war that we/they had no say in), without giving these Plebs/common people any say on how/what THEY wanted their community and society to run, and how their taxes were spent/used.
Clearly we are ALL going to need Trauma Therapy after the Demented Psychopath with Narcissistic Personality Disorder finally croaks & all of those enablers are Tried/Convicted of Treason however, WE DESERVE BETTER!

Opinion {DUH}: May I suggest you Vote NO on the ALL 3 Amendments? (especially #3: you would end up paying way more in Sales Tax/other county taxes while also losing services such as JSO, JFRD, Libraries, etc all the while City Council/the Mayor would have to beg Tallahassee for funds) The only people these Amendments help are the ultra wealthy/corporations/special interests in Tallahassee.
Feel like the GOP/Republican Party has lost its way as “the party of small government, keeping government out of our lives”???? VOTE for the Democratic ticket ALL THE WAY down the ballot. When someone tells you how they behave—believe them.
**Disclaimer: I’m a ‘No Party Affiliation’ Voter since the age of 18 y/o who has consistently voted (save a primary or 2, max) since this time and I think that EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A SAY IN HOW OUR SOCIETY IS RUN (whether I agree with you or not).
