It’s time that we stop staying home around election time because we think that our votes do not matter. They do!!!
We need to get out there every November and ever special election in between. We need to vote in everything from city council to county clerk to the state and federal levels. Staying home doesn’t give voice to our concerns. If you feel that your vote won’t make a difference; vote anyway and tell others in your community to do that same.
Also… Run for public office and raise your voice and your vote!
I think it’s very important to point out those that crossed party lines to vote for Moore (BELOW). Also, important to look at how the independents voted. And again, the split in ideology.
I said this after the presidential election… I’m speaking to liberals… we can’t hold claim to the Independents; there is this notion that when a person says they or Independent or have no party affiliation, then they must lean left. WRONG; we have no idea how far right or left any one person leans.
An independent very liberal white voter from Alabama that may have never worked with a black person probably is gonna vote for their best interests. If that means, voting for the accused molester and guy that believes that we should get rid of every amendment after 10th then that is how they going to vote.
Stop shaming and attacking people that vote and start getting people that normally stay home out to the polls.
I need to add…
They [racists] will not want another Alabama to happen… Black folks need to organize and get everyone registered to vote, and get everyone a state ID; hey, even a passport. If they pull that voter ID crap then organizer events where we help those that will need one get one.
Come election day, charter buses if we have to… Carpool… Get us to polls
