    I want to know, too. And specifically, I want suggestions beyond just “vote.”

      Save up enough to bus/fly/train to the capital in case of a need to have people to oppose shenanigans.

      If you’re in a swing state get involved in vote counting.

      Hope?

      Is there a lemmy version of r/votedem? There is a large linked spreadsheet with volunteer opportunities (phonebank, textbank, postcards, data entry, etc.) - especially needed in the (unfortunately) few critical states that can tip the balance one way or the other.

        Okay, I need you (and everyone else reading this) to understand something: all those normal campaigning things only matter if the resulting votes actually get counted and certified in a timely fashion. The entire MAGA cult strategy this election is to stop that from happening.

        What I’m asking for are suggestions on how to counter that. It is time to stop pretending that this is democratic-norms business as usual, because it’s fucking not!

          I get it, the gop/maga will try to cheat and steal their way to a victory. They have already laid the legal framework and put sycophants in key positions in battleground states. The only way we can respond is to make sure the victory is undeniable in favor of Harris.

          Now, if you are in one of those battleground states, you can be an election worker, including a vote counter to help maintain normalcy and call out problems to the media immediately.

          Honestly, I don’t know (having not been more involved in the past with the election process) what else we can do. Sorry.
