I'm not a popular name here on DU

[tavernier]

But for all of us who aren't, like me, can I just ask you for one favor...

VOTE.

VOTE like your life depends on it.

VOTE because it doesn't matter who the POTUS is, but who is tying his hands!!

VOTE to help him to help us.

PLEASE VOTE!!!!!!!

1. I voted today!

[riderinthestorm]

3. I love you for this! ((Hug)). Nt

[FSogol]

4. Awesome post. K&R. n/t

[PasadenaTrudy]

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

6. Anybody here is voting.

I think I've seen exactly one post claiming the person wasn't going to vote.

Activists vote. Liberals vote.

But I've got to say, by all the polls, it's looking like a really scary early November, possibly followed by some really sucky next few years.

I certainly hope the polls are enough wrong that we can at least pull a 50-50 senate with Joe the decider.

[Doctor_J]

54. Yeah, this OP is kind of silly

and you're right, our party doesn't seem to have a message. This is the problem with trying to place yourself a tiny bit less extreme than the rwnj's.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

55. This would be a good thing to put on twitter or facebook, though.

Where it would get out to an audience of people who aren't automatically oriented towards voting.

[arcane1]

7. I would add: if you can, but don't vote, please kindly go fuck yourselves.

On second thought, forget the word "kindly".

[pkdu]

9. Hey , some of us can't vote...pls remember that. I know you probably meant "if you can vote..."

But some of us are prevented , legally , from voting.

[arcane1]

11. Thanks! Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry about that oversight!

Edited

[pkdu]

14. Thanks!

[Lancero]

10. And what do you say to those who had their right to vote stripped away by the GOP's

efforts against so called 'voter fraud'?

[arcane1]

13. I edited my post; I was a little hasty in the wording.

To those people I would suggest never keeping quiet about it!

[Scuba]

8. I voted today, straight Democratic.

[kentuck]

12. I seem to remember this name from a long time ago?

Are you sure ?

[pinboy3niner]

38. I remember some username confusion between tavernier and Taverner, who was PPR'd a year ago

Taverner was here for 9 years and logged more than 55,000 posts:

[babylonsister]

15. I think you meant familiar. And you are now! :) nt

[Lex]

16. And TAKE SOMEONE TO VOTE if

you can. I was able to. It felt good.

[ChiciB1]

44. My Whole Family Voted...

and made sure my son and his wife had absentee's sent to them. Told them to fill them out, bring them to me so I could verify they voted and gave them the stamp. Walked them down my driveway and said put them in!

Told them I rarely asked any of them for favors... NOW I was. Have one more to go, My 18 yr. old grand daughter, texted her today and I'm going with her Friday! If I have to hold hands... I hold hands. no fraud, just giving them DIRECTION!

[Lex]

59. Excellent!

Great work.

[femmocrat]

17. K & R

I will vote on Tuesday to oust the worst PA governor ever.

[bullwinkle428]

18. Did it a week ago, but thanks for lighting a fire under the stragglers!

K&R.

[Callmecrazy]

19. Voted last Monday...

YES ON 2!!!

[bigwillq]

20. VOTE!

[Fred Sanders]

21. I do not know why you think yourself not popular, better to be right than popular.

[marym625]

22. my registration was purged

Luckily, Illinois has a grace period to register. Also, very lucky I checked for my early polling place or I wouldn't have known. Had I just gone to vote on election day, I would have been turned away

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. I voted last week

Washington is a vote by mail state so I received my ballot then. It's nice to get this out of the way.

[billhicks76]

24. For Gods Sake Vote Even If...

The executive level has been corrupted. Senate and House seats have a lesser degree of corruption and matter more and don't forget in many places we have direct say with ballot initiatives. I'm pretty sure everyone on DU votes. When people talk about a loss of interest in voting they are referring to the general populace who isn't politically savvy or involved. And we need their interest and shouldn't be doing stupid, pompous things to alienate them like electing people who don't even try to keep their promises or politicians who are clearly working for the banks and military/surveillance/mass incarceration complex.

[shenmue]

25. Amen

You're fine with me.

[RKP5637]

26. I did, earlier, mailed in ballot. Couldn't be easier. n/t

[RKP5637]

27. K&R!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

28. Well, tavernier

you're popular with ME! You are right - our lives DO depend on it. My household of 3 mailed in our ballots last week - very easy and felt soooo good.

[JimDandy]

29. Got my ballot in 2 hrs ago. KnR for those who haven't yet. n/t

[msanthrope]

30. You're likeable enough.....

[mountain grammy]

31. I voted last week.

[Kalidurga]

32. I have to wait til Tuesday

Cuz Minnesota is lagging behind the cool kids yet again. But at least we are Blue, yay Blue.

[Auggie]

33. Done

[BlueJazz]

34. I've read your posts, quite often, and have not seen anything to cause me to not like you.

[Ash_F]

35. I will. And I will be canvassing next week. BUT....

Democrats need to rethink their long hard slide to the right, if they want to win.

[Skittles]

36. you want I should kick your unpopular ass, taverier?

after I vote, of course

(I voted last week)

[still_one]

37. The problem won't be with DU

[mopinko]

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

70. I voted for Burke and Pocan. I hope people know how important these elections are!

[herding cats]

40. You're popular with me.

As is your post.

Vote as if your very existence depends on it, because it does.

[freshwest]

81. Agreed. Voted last week by mail.

[OnyxCollie]

41. Your name is similar to one who got posting privileges revoked.

Unfortunate choice.

[treestar]

42. Will be doing so

[ChiciB1]

43. YOU BET! And That Means All Of You In Florida!

I'm a long time liberal, probably to the left of many. Did what had to be done! SHOW the Repukes we CAN hold our noses and play their game! No backing down, might start a trend and eventually find Democrats who will fight for "we the people!"

BOTTOM LINE, VOTE! Kick the crooks out!

[HockeyMom]

58. Voted by mail last week

for Crist.

[lady lib]

45. Hubby and I voted today! n/t

[airplaneman]

46. I am in - I have never not voted. n/t.

[Beartracks]

47. And remember: NOT voting is a choice, and CHOICES have consequences, too.

Not voting is NOT the same as not participating.



================

[ZombieHorde]

48. I almost didn't rec this because

the rec total before I pressed rec was 123. I sometimes feel weird recing when I like the current number of recs, but I always resist the urge to leave the number alone. Just a quirk of mine.

I'm not popular either. At least not on DU. In my flesh life most people seem to like me very much, which can be bothersome since I suffer from social anxiety. I sometimes find this odd because I am stranger in my flesh life than I am on DU. I have an easier time hiding my weirdness online.

[Enthusiast]

49. Done

[Omaha Steve]

50. Any true blue DUer is popular

Etched in stone!

[Doctor_J]

57. ALMOST any

[Feral Child]

Voting early to avoid standing in line with a bunch of stank-ass Republicans.

Georgia has quiver-fulls of them...

[Andy823]

52. Mailed ballot on Tuesday nt

[raouldukelives]

53. K&R

And whom is tying his hands? Obstructionist Republicans and the major corporate donors & lobbyists who back them.
Who funds the corporations and lobbyists? That is the root of our problems.
Please vote, and please, don't feed the bullies turning our country and our world into a cesspool. We have little time to be playing footsie anymore.

[Atman]

67. Wanna come join my Pity Party?

We have to have more members than the Tea Party. I can never say anything right (correct) on DU. I think I have more people who block me than who read my posts. So let's dance!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

72. That's a classic!

[Peacetrain]

68. Excellent OP!
