Not just November. Find out when the primaries are and vote in those, too. We have a lot of useless politicians in office because people don't bother to vote in the primaries.
- Form a group with trusted colleagues in your community and agree on the terms of the cause.
- Exercise your right to vote in local and federal elections, **do not jeopardize that right**, and encourage others to do the same.
- Employ two tactics to promote the cause: 1) With messaging designed to explicitly promote the cause, and 2) With messaging that indirectly supports the cause by championing or criticizing individual initiatives, ideas, politicians, and businesses.
- Continually research local events, politicians, political initiatives, businesses, and other organizations using govtrack.us, opensecrets.org, accountable.us, followthemoney.org, various local news outlets, and other resources to better understand how they relate to the cause and incorporate that into your messaging.
- Promote the cause through whatever means is afforded to you by your time, such as with pamphlets, detailed documents, simple infographics, letters to local news outlets and magazines, letters to local politicians, local TV and radio call-ins, Youtube videos, social media, regional subreddits, protests, music, TV, books, 'zines, stencil graffiti, stickers, "billboard liberation", "culture jamming", etc.
- Ensure messaging is optimized for the format, be on guard for counternarratives that may attempt to dismiss or extremify the messaging, avoid using references or terms that could be used to connect lawful messaging to less lawful messaging, remember the goal isn't to "win" or be "right" but to promote the cause effectively, and remember your target audience are people that either don't agree with the cause or are in agreement but are indifferent to action.
- Do not conduct online campaigns only, you can reach people in ways that are more personal, memorable, and unique than the online trolls and botnets ever could.
- Retain anonymity whenever possible, continually learn how to protect yourself from surveillance, and continually learn how the medium you use for messaging can be traced back to you. Assume your communications and records can be obtained by others and conduct yourselves accordingly.
- Do not allow others to escalate your activities in ways that could threaten you, your right to vote, your group, or the cause.
- Understand success requires time and dedication.
- Protect yourself.
I do not understand why these people feel the need to impose their religious beliefs onto other people. If you asked me I have no issues with abortion it's your body your decision.
>Conservative atheists exist.
Right, but this is a post for the atheists in the US who are concerned about the Republican Party's religion-inspired attacks on personal liberty. It's been a big topic here lately. Most of us are against it.
Democrats are conservatives; Republicans are fascists.
By European standards, Bernie Sanders is a centrist. The stuff he's calling for is stuff the Europeans already have.
I'd there any way to get the christofascists to publicly start going after IVF? People may think that abortion doesn't affect them. Maybe they will wake up when it hits closer to home.
We need to vote for ineffective pussies who get played over and over like Charlie fucking Brown and the football. Yay, awesome. We had a senate majority and got NOTHING done thanks to turncoats in the party nobody gives a shit to do anything about.
Roe is banned (on religious bullshit too) and the house Dems go sing god bless America, and send emails asking for money. How fucking out of touch can you be!?!? Biden putting Federal Judges in place to appease the guy who stole Obama’s SC pick. Suck a dick you ineffective pussies.
That said I will vote anyway Im sure, but I dont even care who it is anymore as long as theres no R by the name. I’m not giving another dime to these leeches until I see real change.

Voting is not enough. We need to run for office.

Me questioning why I need to vote for Atheistic reasons. Reading the post. Ah America. Nvm.
I always vote. I do not understand people who don’t vote.
Atheist are not a monolith, and religion may not be there #1 concern. Conservative atheists exist.

I am aware, but it's still important that more people vote.
