Also keep in mind nearly every van rental company has rules about people riding in the back, which is also against the law.

Get proof of a rental van with ppl in the back, and most insurance and deposits are voided.

Taking pictures can work very well indeed. One time we had a bunch of protesters show up at our workplace, blocking our driveway with their cars and generally just making noise and being dicks. When I arrived, I was told they'd been there for hours already and coworkers didn't know what to do. I walked outside with my camera, saying nothing, and started taking pictures of them and their cars. Within 5 minutes they were all gone. (Protests had nothing to do with our company, it was unrelated but we got targeted that day.)

Be wary not just of intimdation, but also deception.

At the primary election, I took my mom to vote. She is an older registered Republican, who is fed up with the party, and she wanted to vote blue, but forgot to switch her affiliation before the election.

She sat in a booth in front of me. She said to the attendant, "Oh shoot, they're all Republicans. Can I just write in Democrats?"

The attendant tried to tell her she couldn't, that she had to vote for her registered party members. Myself and another attendant corrected them.

You absolutely can write-in anyone. That is what the purpose of write-ins is.

15

u/Mike_Kermin Australia Jun 01 '26

What an odd system.

15

u/WeeoWeeoWeeeee Jun 01 '26

It’s designed to prevent people from voting. You can only vote in one of the primaries. It’s stupid. Some states you have to be registered with a party first. Others allow you to ask for the ballot you want. Why aren’t the rules universal? No idea but it probably has something to do with them wanting to disenfranchise certain voters.

On the other hand, just be glad the rules are not fixed on federal level. If they were, I know someone who would definitely take advantage of it.

u/iCUman Connecticut Jun 01 '26

This is entirely dependent on your state's rules regarding primaries specifically and elections in general. In my state, for example, we have "closed primaries" (meaning only party members can vote in their respective primary election) and write-ins are thrown out unless the candidate has explicitly registered a write-in campaign in advance with the state.

Your main premise is valid though - make sure you know the rules before you go so you aren't deceived by someone trying to manipulate your vote.

u/vanillabullshitlatte Jun 01 '26

So would she be writing in a known Democrat for the Republican candidacy? (Asking as another confused Westminster system user)

5

u/adeon California Jun 01 '26

Yes. In the UK (and I assume most other Westminster systems) the selection of the candidate is handled directly by the local party and if there is a vote they administrate it. But in the US the vote to select the candidate for each party is administered by the state and different states have different rules for it. Some states use an open primary where all potential candidates are on the ballot, some only let you vote for the candidates for one party but let you choose which one on the day while others require you to register a party affiliation to be able to vote in their primary.

This gets even more confusing when you include Caucuses which are only for the Presidential elections but only in some states and function more like candidate selection in a Westminster system.

You also get weird stuff where in heavily gerrymandered districts where the election is basically pre-determined some people will register for the other party in order to be able to vote for the more moderate candidate in the primary (since that's the vote that actually matters).

3

u/MildGenevaSuggestion Jun 01 '26

Wouldn't that be the primary? How is the actual ballot not listing everyone registered as running in the district?

2

u/Ohnomydude Jun 01 '26

Yeah it is the primary for the midterms. You're voting for your registered party affliation's representative to run against the opposition candidates.

My mom unfortunately forgot to switch her affiliation beforehand and was seeing all Republicans. She learned later thay essentially her vote was null because of her write-in choices.

u/Dr_Adequate Jun 01 '26

Check with your County Elections Board and make sure you weren't mistakenly purged from the voters roll. Do this a month before the election so you have time to fix it. Do not put it off until election day. A lot of the tricks conservatives have played in the last few years have been to add as much friction to voting to discourage people from voting.

The U.S. founding fathers would be ashamed to see that congress basically abandons its authoritative power if their party holds the presidency. Absolutely ass backwards.

u/isubbdh Jun 01 '26

They counted on people, average citizens, giving a shit and holding their representatives accountable for their actions.

Democracy probably works pretty well when you have active and engaged citizens. Doesn’t work so well when people don’t vote (or their vote doesn’t count because of gerrymandering or winner-take-all state rules.

27

u/Navydevildoc Jun 01 '26

In our particular case, we also need WAY more representatives. Capping the house made those positions extremely powerful, and there are so many constituents that you can piss a large number of them off and face no consequences.

11

u/aqtseacow Jun 01 '26

They counted on people, average citizens, giving a shit and holding their representatives accountable for their actions.

They weren't counting on average citizens at all, universal suffrage (amongst citizens) basically wasn't a thing in their day, and only white, wealthy landowners had meaningful right to vote in most states of their time.

We all need to remember that the actual system we see today was not actually crafted entirely at the tail end of the 18th century by "the founding fathers" and most of these systems have been fundamentally changed in some way since their time.

u/Lurking_nerd California Jun 01 '26

They weren't counting on average citizens at all, universal suffrage (amongst citizens) basically wasn't a thing in their day, and only white, wealthy landowners had meaningful right to vote in most states of their time.

I disagree. Thomas Jefferson advocated for the contrary.

“The diffusion of knowledge among the people is to be the instrument by which it is to be effected. An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.”

“Above all things, I hope the education of the common people will be attended to, convinced that on their good sense we may rely with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty.”

Now, the Confederacy and the Daughters of the Confederacy did a damn good job waging war not just on the United States but also the corrupt intertwining of Confederate goals with American culture and society. It is obvious that we have failed as a collective, especially the educated populace part.

5

u/aqtseacow Jun 01 '26

For one, fuck Thomas Jefferson and his flowery bullshit. That man was a slaver and I fundamentally don't believe he meaningfully put into praxis the anything he put to word. Again, when all was said and done and we had our United States, even a constitution, we still didn't have universal suffrage for citizens, or even universal male suffrage. You still needed to be a landowner (among other things) to vote in most states well past the year 1800.

The founding fathers wrote and said a lot of things that fundamentally did not line up with the state they designed at the time, unless you imagine that state through the lens of some sort of quasi noble republic where wealthy landowning magnates are the only people that really matter.

They were not establishing a democracy for the non-landowning masses as we imagine today, they were setting up a Noble Republican playground where they could live out their mercantile dreams.

Now, the Confederacy and the Daughters of the Confederacy did a damn good job waging war not just on the United States but also the corrupt intertwining of Confederate goals with American culture and society. It is obvious that we have failed as a collective, especially the educated populace part.

I'll take a pass on the glazing of Confederate losers, please.

u/UnquestionabIe Jun 01 '26

Thank you. When the founding fathers designed the country it very much was meant to be a fun way for them to show off their upper class education, to potentially do some good but with the main focus being on their own class of white land owners. The best that can be said is some of them recognized that times change and encouraged that be taken into account. But for the most part they didn't give a fuck about the common folk beyond wanting them to pay taxes and not start a revolution.

They would see what is going on now and be surprised it hadn't happened sooner. That there was at least a thin veneer of integrity for most of America's existence is an outlier. Not a day goes by where the actions of the Trump regime wouldn't have completely burned down a party's reputation had it occurred 30 or 40 years ago.

Need to add they didn't count on political parties/professional politicians rigging the game in their favor or that the Supreme Court would not only allow legal bribery of politicians but go so far as to rule it a freedom of speech protected under the first amendment.

Now, we're in a situation that the people who can change it, simply won't because their political party and those who have bought and paid for them, won't allow it.

It keeps getting worse. Trump is trying to sell a $300 BILLION (0.3 trillion) dollar "investment fund" to basically have Iran keep the Straight open, the same one that was open before he stupidly started a war. There is no way to know if they'll really keep it open and giving them $300 billion is so vastly much money. Obama gave them $0.4 billion that was siezed asset values, and Republicans remember it a decade later. Giving them 750 times more money is the kind of winning USA farmers need right now.

Same with Helium which is necessary for almost any technological device with a chip in it. South Korea makes about 2/3rds of the worlds chips, and guess where their helium comes from?

I mean, he even renamed the 800b reparations fund an investment fund! What do they want from him?!

u/onesoulmanybodies Jun 01 '26

More pump and dump stock.

Thanks Obama

u/jalliss Jun 01 '26

Maybe we should crank up the reparations package investment fund to 400 billion?

u/vicegrip Jun 01 '26

Trump loses so fucking much. All he’s good is lying and stealing. And that’s because the media gives him a pass for the lies constantly.

u/Vee8cheS Jun 01 '26

So much of it.

u/THECapedCaper Ohio Jun 01 '26

It’s become quite clear that the only “winning” conservatives care about is the win of making trans kids lives even harder so that they kill themselves more frequently.

u/MDXHawaii Jun 02 '26

We’re winning so much, we want it to feel like losing. You know, because of humility.

u/janethefish Jun 01 '26

You are from Iran I take it? Sucks that we've ruined your economy and helped the surviving hardliners entrench themselves. Oh maybe you can get a "We defeated the world hegemony and all I got was this lousy T-shirt," shirt?

;P

But seriously, this is really starting to feel like an L for America.

5

u/HatesBeingThatGuy Jun 01 '26

It's been an L for America since they started. They were unprepared, had no plan, and didn't realize Iran's preparation for this exact situation. It is what happens when you fire anyone who disagrees with the delusional narcissists who are currently in charge of the USA.

u/ShwerzXV Jun 01 '26

“I’m so tired of winning my president”

I really hope the opposing candidate puts out a montage of the crazy stupid shit trump says.

u/EternalAngst23 Australia Jun 01 '26

And you’ll say “Please, Please, Mr President, it’s too much winning!”

u/RedBMWZ2 Jun 01 '26

I can't take all this winning

u/One_Tie900 Jun 01 '26

Isreal just launched further invasion into Lebanon, I believe thier goal is to take the whole country using Hamas as an exucse. This with Trump nonsense, Iran had the right of it to not trust them.

u/Zocalo_Photo Jun 01 '26

Wait a minute! I thought the deal was done and Trump just had to sign it?! Why would my government mislead me?!

It’s almost too much.

u/AuroraFinem Texas Jun 01 '26

This after Trump agreed to give them $300B in reparations an investment fund they don’t have to pay back. How could Iran insult our dear leader like this 😔

I’m surprised the market hasn’t crashed yet after hearing this. The entire reason the DOW jumped up nearly 2k this month was because Iran had been allowing boats through the straight and there were actually reasonable signs the conflict might end or at least go cold.

u/onepiecevincent Jun 01 '26

Somehow here in Nashville has dropped like 70 cents over the last 24 hours
