VOICES FROM 2017 REMIND US HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO VOTE IN 2024!!!

In these 2017 interviews are the stories of people who attended the Women's March, which was held the day after Trump's inauguration. 

 Revisiting their thoughts and perspectives makes it alarmingly clear that Trump and MAGA present a clear and deadly threat NOW in 2024. 

 If you have not VOTED, Now Is the Time to VOTE on Nov. 5, 2024. Vote like your life depends on it because it probably does! 

 At the end of these videos, I have been doing Ask the AI.  

Here is the text for these last few videos that I am reposting and sharing with you before the 2024 election. 

 ASK THE AI 

What happens to democracies when people do not vote and/or do not vote based on facts but instead on trumped up feeling fed by lies, misinformation, and efforts to polarize a body of people? 

 AI ANSWER: 

When people do not vote or base their decisions on misinformation and emotions rather than facts, it can lead to several challenges for democracies: 

 1. Reduced Representation: Low voter turnout often skews representation, meaning that elected officials may not reflect the views and needs of the broader population. This can lead to policies that serve only a small segment of society. 

 2. Increased Polarization: When voters are influenced by emotional appeals and misinformation, it can exacerbate divisions within society. This polarization makes it difficult to find common ground and can result in a more adversarial political landscape. 

 3. Erosion of Trust: Misinformation can undermine trust in democratic institutions and processes. If people believe their electoral system is rigged or that their votes don’t matter, they may disengage further, creating a cycle of disillusionment. 

 4. Manipulation by Extremist Groups: In an environment where emotional responses dominate, extremist groups can more easily exploit fears and anxieties, pushing divisive agendas that may not align with democratic values. 

[LIKE THE ONES WEARING DIAPERS IN THE USA TODAY] 

 5. Policy Implications: Decisions made based on misinformation can lead to harmful policies that do not address actual societal issues. This misalignment can result in ineffective governance and increased public discontent. 

Overall, the health of a democracy relies on informed, engaged citizens who participate actively in the electoral process. When this is compromised, the foundations of democracy can weaken significantly.

#tbt to volunteering at the polls on Election Day with @surjboston, @wejointhefrontline and @election_protection! Still kinda sad I didn’t get to be a poll worker, but glad I and so many other volunteers showed up across the country to help ensure this was the fairest, safest election on record. So many multilingual volunteers and lawyers came to help every potential voter get their questions answered and ensure equitable access. It was a beautiful thing to see and be a part of. Luckily I knew enough Spanish to understand “could you watch my dog?” The answer will always be yes! #electionday #election2020 #electiondefenders #electionprotection #voting #votingrights #freedom #vote #votingmatters #yourvotematters #yourvoteisyourvoice #powertothepolls #throwbackthursday #surj #showingupforracialjustice https://www.instagram.com/p/CHxif9rgBzc/?igshid=1pebu2vigq3ie

Dear Millenials: Here is a piece of information you may not know. The number of millenials age 18 and over (i.e., of voting age), now exceeds the number of living baby boomers. To be clear: IF YOU VOTE, YOU WILL OUTNUMBER THEM. Love, Me (GenX).

Vote, VOTE, V O T E, Our country is desperately divided and so many people are scared. So many people are sad. So many people are counting on their voices being heard. Save your grievances and cries and rants and tell it to the polls. #vote #votethemout #voteordie #powertothepolls #lgbtq #liberal #lovetrumpshate https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp0pEjUnlYq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d8a05qh5zhyv

It's national voter registration day! Seriously, please please vote in the midterms. Our future as a free country hinges on who will dominate the House and Senate. I didn't realize how important midterms are until we ended up with Mango Musilini's election and a conservative majority in the House and Senate that are actively trying to strip many of our rights. VOTE. It really does matter, or the GOP would not be trying so hard to suppress the vote in liberal districts.

This midterm election year is so important. I hope that even if you didn't vote two years ago that you do not take the privilege for granted. Let your voice be heard. If you want a change you need to be the change. ✊🤜🤛 #latinx #vote #midtermelection #speakup #speakforyourself #powertothepolls #majorityrules #hope #rockthevote https://www.instagram.com/p/BnZ_ZqnhgSE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l53yg5r6qbow
