The GOP/MAGA's policies are so unpopular that they depend on stealing elections to stay in power. This week, Andrea is joined by Leah Greenberg, co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, to discuss ways to safeguard our vote in a time of Jim Crow 2.0.
Gaslit Nation opens this week's show with Ukraine's response to Trump/Putin trying to force Ukraine to surrender and blaming Zelensky for all of America's crises under Trump: by bombing three data centers/bot farms in Russia weeks before the midterms. Russian-powered MAGA bots have fallen silent on social media, right when the GOP depends on them to rot brains and manipulate our elections. We also must point out: this is a historic first of the United States and Russia joining together to try to force regime change and oust a democratically elected leader in violation of that nation's constitution. You're under Russian occupation, America. We warned you!
What's the best way to fight back against Trump/Putin' s global war of sadistic fascism against democracy?
Fight like hell in these midterms to take back Congress and demand that our new leadership hold Trump/Putin accountable:
-
Step 1: Make sure that you're registered – even if you've voted in the same place every year, year after year. Expect funny business. So be sure to double-check your own registration.
-
Step 2: Make a plan to vote and vote early if you can. Ask ten people among your family, friends, and neighbors to also make a plan to vote. Remind them that if their vote didn't matter, then the GOP/Russia wouldn't work so hard to steal it.
-
Step 3: Help get out the vote. Join our Indivisible phone bank for Angie Nixon for US Senate in Florida on October 28. Sign up here. Remember: phone banking is super easy, but it's a volume business. Meaning, you need to make a lot of calls – because most people don't pick up the phone – just to reach that one person who really needs your help in voting or deciding who to vote for. And, if they're tired of the phone calls, just remind them that their name gets taken off the call list as soon as they're marked as "voted." That's the best incentive to vote!
-
Step 4: In your phone, save this number for a voter protection: (866-OUR-VOTE) to report any funny business at the polls.
-
Step 5: Create a get-out-the-vote playlist for fighting the dark forces – which songs get you pumped up to punch Nazis by voting against them at the polls? Share it with us here at Gaslit Nation!
