Turn-out for primaries is minuscule. If you’re in a deep red state that has fully open primaries, you can request a republican primary ballot. I guarantee if you fully look into every primary candidate there will be a reasonable person who is at least open to impeaching or otherwise opposing Trump.
If it’s a partially-open primary state you will have to switch to independent to vote strategically in primaries.
If you’re in a deep-red state with closed primaries, it’s worth considering switching affiliations just so you can have some say in who represents you.
I know it’s like sifting through shit to find an edible kernel of corn, but it’s what has to be done to stop this in deep-red states.
I am utterly convinced that it won't matter, but damnit we still have to fucking try.
I honestly quite afraid they are gonna rig the fuck outta the mid-terms somehow. I realize I have little to no evidence to support that, but doesn't mean it couldn't still happen under this regime.
2024 seemed to be rigged at the top only. That's how we ended up with so many people voting a straight Democratic ticket, except for HitlerPig at the top, which Dems have been trying to convince us is perfectly normal, which it isn't.
Its one thing to rig the vote in one race in seven swing states, it's another to rig 435 Congressional races around the country. That would be nearly impossible. It would take multiple operatives in every district, and at some point, somebody would squeal.
The Senate races pose other challenges, although they only really have to identify a handful of close races, and make sure those fall to MAGA.
The MAGA Nazis can't afford to let either chamber flip, or the Democrats will have control of investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers. If that starts, it will end with prison terms for many.
So I'm convinced that they will "suspend" elections using Martial Law, or the Insurrection Act, or some other legal atrocity.

"33 Senate Seats are on the ballot"
LMFAO.
Let me introduce you to Staggered Elections
Only Maine's seat is even winnable, the other ones up for relection in 2026 are all safe Blue or Safe Red states
Currently its 53-47. Highly doubt that Dems can win 3 in Red States. (Unless we get a White Boi Hillbilly Revolution?)
The House cannot block juidicial nominations.
Judicial nominations are not subject to Filibuster.
So...
Not to be a pessimist, but...
Looks like an uphill battle...
😕
Edit:
Ask yourselves: Which of the red seats can Dems flip in 2026? (Grey ones are not up for election, only one seat is up for election per state due to staggered elections)
Despite this, you should still go vote! But don't get too excited. Its not safe until fascists are out of executive power.
It's not enough to just elect Democrats. Ok technically Democrats would have 67 votes in the Senate if they flipped every single Republican seat, which would be just enough to convict. But that's not happening.
Instead, there needs to be a movement by anti Trump forces from across the spectrum to primary Republicans and replace them with anti Trump candidates. That effort needs to start now.
Tfw electing Democrats is “not happening” but flipping a cult against it’s demented, corrupt, rapist leader makes way more sense.
Which will never happen because Trump has support of like 95% of Republicans. Still.
It will happen when the fae right start starving from the economic crash. But then it might be too late.
B-but what if I just want to be like 90% of Lemmies and bitch about bOtH sIDeS and how the "Democrats are 98% Hitler" but literally not want do the bare minimum (voting) so that Republicans can win again and I get to keep bitching?
It’s a bold stance but we have to dig deep and find the fucks to give.

We've been doing this shit for a decade now. It's not working, the system is broken, we should try something else. Yelling VOTED HARDER has failed.
Also, don't put status quo Democrats on those ballots, especially ones who voted to table impeachment earlier this week.
Ah yes, impeach the already twice impeached, 34 time convicted felon
These cunts don't care about law so stop taking the high road, when they go low, kick them in the fucking teeth
Literally if possible
Well with a bulletproof majority we could do that.
Not counting fucking piece of shit Sinemas/Manchins. Actual Democratic leaders. People younger than 65 who want to break this fascist headlock.
Which party do I vote for to get him impeached? Democrats just overwhelmingly struck down a motion to impeach.
True, true. Go with the party that impeached him twice the first time around.
So just ignore what's going on right now? That's like saying I should vote republican if I care about black rights because they abolished slavery.
Understand what’s going on right now.
Could you help me out with that? Between this, the Laken Riley act, the support of the bombing of Iran, the support of the genocide, and the opposition to Zohran, the dems look like they quite like Trump, so I guess I just don't understand. Or should we buckle up for more performative whine ins like Corey Booker did?

your last chance was Nov 2024
vote like it in checks notes a year and a half.. we need to be acting now and not waiting for elections.
Nothing stopping us.
But a bunch of people around here have no intention of voting Democrat and so finding their person, getting the signatures, raising some money, getting on the ballot, it’s all going to take time.
If you can’t be arsed to change your local party, find a new one or GTFO. Last August we had a truckload of people just proud as a pig in shit that they weren’t going to vote. Fuck that.
