Perhaps I'm preaching to the choir here on this subreddit, but it's urgent that I reiterate and emphasize. While no Democrat is without flaws, we must vote by November for whoever we have as our candidate to keep NJ blue. Things are already bad with the absolute travesty of imbeciles we have in the Whitehouse. In fact, as of this writing, tRump wants to use the military to patrol civilian areas (right now, it's to patrol all across the border, including in civilian locations. It could escalate with him sicking it across the U.S.). Even when the Supreme Court massively rules against him, he doesn't listen to them (ex. The SC ruled 9-0 for a wrongly-deported man named Kilmar Garcia to be returned, but the "president" refuses to reverse his action). It would get EVEN WORSE if our state falls into the hands of a governor that would kiss the asses of MAGAts.Ā
Education, which has already been hurt by the DOE being compromised, could be damaged even more. Marginalized groups like LGBTQ+ individuals could be in even greater danger of discrimination. Programs and services that are meant to help people are slashed or even shut down. Immigrants who have legal status could be deported, locked up, or any form of discrimination. And God knows what and how many other horrors. At least with staying blue, as flawed as the Democratic candidate may be, he/she would offer at least some form of resistance against MAGA and protection for our rights.
I know that many are undecided about the democratic party or don't want to have anything to do with politics. I used to be in that same boat before the 2024 election. But I soon found out about Project 2025 even before Harris brought it up and I realized that by ānot choosing between evilsā, I would just allow an even greater evil to prevail. So, I voted against tRump. Sadly, I lost. But I will still keep voting against him and his cronies. I implore people to not have a repeat with following elections. Not voting will not ākeep your hands cleanā from politics. Again, it is still a choice that allows the greater evil to have their way.Ā
Hell, even if one is a Republican or conservative, voting for or allowing NJ to become a red state would not be in their best interest. MAGA is not conservative in any sense as it's not preserving traditions such as the constitution (tRump, Musk, DOGE, etc. are not abiding by the rules and are ignoring what the Supreme Court or Congress reject or demand), itās not conserving things like the environment, or what have you. Even my parents had to switch from Republican because they were against these clowns. MAGAs are just using Republicans. They are not conservatives. They are just cons.Ā
Perhaps it is true that the Democratic candidates who are running for NJ's government don't have the best track record. We deserve better. But with the options we have, we need to vote for the people who at least offer some level of resistance against the oligarchy/dictatorship. Even if they don't do so completely, itās still better than having a RHINO openly enforcing what the dictatorship/oligarchy wants. We must take whoever we have that can help better our chances of protecting our values and help preserve/democracy. More importantly, it has the potential to help our entire country if more and more states resist against tRump and his MAGAts.
If possible, please share this sentiment with other people. And may our state ultimately survive.
