      A portion of that is on all of us.

      Vote! But first, make sure that you’re registered to vote for your current address, Republicans are notorious for throwing people off voter rolls. It’s especially important if you’ve moved recently, or graduated from college and changed states. Look into if your state offers early voting, or a mail-in ballot, both of which you may be able to do weeks ahead of time.

      Once you’re set, like with Oxygen masks, check on others. Especially people in swing states, and those who are infrequent voters. You don’t need to tell them who to vote for, just to vote.

        I couldn’t agree more. When Biden was still running it really felt to a large degree like it was his thing and his blame to shoulder if he loses. But his selfless act after so many liberals calling for it kind of puts it on all of us now. It’s our thing now and we’re all to blame if we don’t get Kamala over the line.

    This is great, but maybe there should be some campaign finance reform against things like citizens united etc. It’s very worrying that a handful of ceos can out do all of this if they want one particular candidate

    Whatever the case, corporations should back Harris, even if some of her platform or party policies don’t immediately benefit some corporation. Long term national stability isn’t a guarantee when there’s political or international turmoil, and historically there’s been more national or global turmoil under one US party vs another
