A lot of what needs to be done is making sure that the Harris win is large enough that you can't easily claim that a handful of ballots should be tossed and change the outcome. That means:

  • Check your voter registration — part of the Republican strategy has long been invalidating registrations so people can't vote
  • Volunteer — nothing in the world quite like talking to people.
  • Donate — money is used for everything from ads to voter turnout operations
  • Organize; be prepared to turn out with others in your community to actively object to any effort to ignore your votes

Over noticed that peiple dont really fear the social consequences of their actions, especially sinve scammers and con men keep getting chamce after chance to steal money. Cant help but feel that coincided with the decline of a good ol' tar and feathering.

Applying autocorrect for you: Why the duck not?

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Believe it or not, that's with autocorrect on. I haven't been able to find a sywpe keyboard that's worth a damn in the last 10 years

The new Futo Keyboard is phenomenal. All the features of Google keyboard/swiftkey but completely local and open source with on-device speech to text if you use voice typing (with models you can swap out yourself if you want).

Just make sure to download the latest pre-release version as it fixes a bunch of bugs and adds missing stuff compared to the 'stable' release.
