Questions: Society & Politics

I was nervous voting today, it wasn’t busy but the ballot was so long & a bunch of names I didn’t recognize. When it was time to put my ballot through the machine to process, I don't know why but my hands were trembling. These two older people were handling the machines and when one of the women were giving directions, the other guy points out “she seems kind of nervous”. No one was behind me but I don’t see the need to point it out, I’m a 30 yr old woman but I get nervous for the stupidest shit

I'm just curious. I always had a feeling this site leans conservative.

Do you like having less rights than your mother had? Do you like the government being in your personal business? Or the idea that if you have a problem with your pregnancy, you might just die or nearly die before a doctor will be willing to help you? How about all of that happening to your friends a family too?

I figure most of you don't like any of that, so if you don't, I think it's a clear choice. The entire country is depending on women to show up and vote against the orange menace, because the men sure as hell aren't going to. The economy will ebb and flow as it always does, but for the folks who write Project 2025 and advise the orange menace, banning your reproductive rights is JUST the tip of the iceberg, of freedoms they want to roll back and abolish in this country. The next step is banning birth control. How does that sound? Just read what they've wrote down.

I just think it's so obvious that women need to put a stop to this now, and we have the power to do so. It's just a matter of the voter turnout. You can't stay home, you can't vote for a third party, you have to vote in a way that hurts the guy who overturned Roe and said he was "proud to have done it". You have to stop these people, before it gets out of control. You might not like Harris, or agree with her on everything. But you need to like yourself, and all of the women you care about, enough to show up on election day and send a message to the Republican party like they've never seen before. We've got the power to do it, we just have to actually do it.
