Ignorance is frustrating.
But we must remember anger does not encourage curiosity. We need people to lean into education. Seek and encourage seekers.

@elonmusk , you have the platform to address the confusion. Even if unintended, it should be clear that your action was reasonably interpreted as a sign that carries a lot of weight. Would you please offer an apology and explanation?

You're more suspectable to misinformation—and more likely to share it—when you're mad!
Don't let bad political actors take advantage of your frustration. Make sure to double check your information, even when you're upset! Read more:

@Holden_Culotta @NewToneProducer @AndrewYang Every chance I get I remind people “Diversity is not only welcome, it’s required”. I continue to work with Forward because I believe the 2 party system is rigged and silences the voices of dissent.I view it as a coalition. And you have firsthand knowledge of how powerful that is.

I hope he’ll push a more populist vision for Forward through 2028. I think it’s taken a more centrist/return to ‘status quo’ approach than populist, and an insurgent grassroots movement kind of has to be populist by definition. Will keep watching with hope for the party. I do love that it’s is so focused on local elections, I just find myself disagreeing pretty strongly with most of the candidates.

@AndrewYang There was an opportunity for things to go differently this time.
English
We should try to do things differently next time.

With Election Day around the corner, have you thought about how you’ll respond when the results are announced? Let’s prepare for both the outcomes we hope for and those we may not. Approach the results with grace, hope, and a commitment to peace, so we can move forward together.

“It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger@Schwarzenegger
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California. That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people. Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime. It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand. I want to tune out. But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious. For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing. The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed! But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems. It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger. That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us. And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org

@FairDistrictsPA This chart does a great job of highlighting what is wrong. Thank you @FairDistrictsPA for the work you do to contribute to the solution.
English
Whatever the outcome of #Election2024, PA needs better guardrails against partisan division & better ways to make sure voters' voices matter. Decades of extreme #gerrymandering created an unaccountable state government unable to enact even simple bipartisan solutions.

@piper4missouri You do not have to tell your husband or boyfriend who you voted for. He will not and cannot find out who you voted for, unless you tell him. It’s your vote!

Infighting in the independent political space - democracy reform, third parties and more - is incredibly dumb. Find common ground and figure out a way through.
We build power with each other, not over each other.
