As I am convinced that KamalaWalz will win the election [at least the popular vote]; it is now up to the population of the USA to defend the outcome.
As a European I will, from this day, silence myself for at least a week.

#USpoliticsFinal #VoterTurnOut

"Popular things happen when you vote. Here’s the proof." [1:48 min]

"Nov 3, 2024
What changes if more people showed up to vote? ‪@GarrisonHayes‬ dug into the numbers.
One answer emerges by comparing Minnesota and Tennessee—two states with vastly different voter turnout rates. Minnesota leads the nation, with nearly 80 percent of eligible voters participating in the 2020 election. With that, Minnesotans have elected leaders who have advanced a popular agenda: universal school meals, free public college tuition, paid family and medical leave, and the restoration of voting rights for formerly incarcerated people. According to polling, each of these proposals is broadly popular nationwide.
By contrast, in Tennessee, voter turnout in 2020 was only 59 percent—enabling a very unpopular Republican supermajority to ignore calls for stricter gun control despite widespread support. Instead, they’ve focused on banning diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and enacting some of the country’s harshest abortion laws. Tennessee once had abortion protections, but a historically low turnout election in 2014 paved the way for today’s restrictive policies.
The differences between Minnesota and Tennessee make it clear: Turnout has sweeping consequences. Go vote.

"Fox News Dudes Are Freaking Out Over Wives Voting" [2:30 min]
by Mother Jones

youtube.com/watch?v=j2du5cGOb2

Quote by MJ
" Nov 1, 2024 #FoxNews #Voting #Women
Dear Jesse Watters: Why would your wife be afraid to tell you what she really thinks? What does that say about you?
The idea that women might vote differently from their husbands made the Fox News star's brain melt live on air this week. Referring to his current wife, Watters, with his trademark smirk, told his colleagues on The Five, “If I found out Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that's the same thing as having an affair.” This comes from a man who admitted to his employer in 2017 that he was in a relationship with a colleague 14 years his junior—reportedly leading to his divorce from his first wife. “What else is she keeping from me?” Jesse mused, prompting guffaws from his fellow panelists.
Beyond hypocrisy, Mother Jones creator ‪@katmabu‬ argues that Watters’ reaction reveals the undercurrent of sexist resentment coursing through this year’s campaign, typified by Donald Trump, who just this week ominously vowed to protect women, “whether the women like it or not.”
It’s an issue that Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans alike have been eager to highlight, including former congresswoman and top Harris campaigner Liz Cheney, who told CBS’ Face the Nation on Wednesday, “I think you're going to have, frankly, a lot of men and women who will go into the voting booth and will vote their conscience, will vote for Vice President Harris.”
“They may not ever say anything publicly,” she added, “But the results will speak for themselves.”
Top Democrats are seizing on this dynamic. “Just remember that your vote is a private matter,” Michelle Obama told a Michigan rally last weekend. Soon, that private decision could have very public ramifications—for the entire country.
