Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Or it's saying "My vote was surpressed". They couldn't get time off, they're too tired from work, there aren't enough polling places, polling stations aren't open at the correct hours, they have more immediate problems to solve, the waiting times are too long, etc...
Don't forget "purged from the voter roles" "registration inexplicably changed/deleted" and other fun beurocratic nonsense also used to surpress votes
There is something to be said for disenfranchisement... but the solution to it isnt to give up, it's to fight back and demand the voice youre owed.
