The 2022 midterm elections are Tuesday, November 8th –one week from today.

If you are eligible–18 years or older, and an American citizen–we urge you to exercise your constitutional right to vote.

Find out whether you’re registered to vote, where your polling place is, and what the ballot looks like here.

Then create a plan to get to your polling place. Drive or accompany other people if necessary. Spread the word.

With our ear to the social media grindstone, we have heard a lot of statements that sound like this:

1. “Why vote? I live in NYC. It’s going to be a Democrat whether I vote or not.”
2. “Voting is a waste of time. The two parties are both capitalist parties that support existing institutions and resist reform. It doesn’t matter.”
3. “I’m not voting until someone comes up with an idea worth getting off of my ass for.”

If you’ve ever made a statement like this, we strongly urge you to reconsider.

Voting will only remain a right as long as we avail of it. When you stop availing of your constitutional rights, they can begin to whither on the vine. In some states, so-called “poll watchers” are standing near polling places with loaded guns. We cannot be intimidated out of voting, even if the election in your district is close to a foregone conclusion.

The gubernatorial race (that’s for governor) in New York is closer than most people had predicted. Your vote DOES matter in this race. To learn about the candidates’ policy positions, click here.

This election is in large part a referendum on whether Democrats are on the right side of the investigation into the insurrection of 6 January 2021, which they have devoted a great deal of time to digging into, both in public and in private. Is this a good use of their time? Weigh in by voting!

A man named David DePape recently broke into the home of Speaker Pelosi attempting to kidnap her, meanwhile attacking her husband. Is political violence acceptable to you? Do you want it to become more widespread? Is it acceptable in certain circumstances? If people don’t vote or are disenfranchised, violence will become more widespread. Make your voice heard the American way: by voting!

What this election IS NOT:

A referendum on inflation. We all agree that inflation is out of control. The government has little to no control over it, despite what many pundits want you to think. The government has a few tools at its disposal to attempt to quell inflation and bring down gas prices, but this ability is limited at best.

Reject Election Disinformation:

1. Voting machines are trustworthy.
2. No one is “harvesting” ballots.
3. The notion that “Jews control the election” is antisemitic racism.
4. Democrats do not run a sex-trafficking ring, nor do they eat babies.
5. Joe Biden lawfully won the 2020 presidential election.
6. Critical Race Theory is not being taught to kindergarteners.
7. Bail reform does not lead to more crime.
