Indivisible Ventura’s Voting Guide for the 2024 Presidential Election

Here are some great resources that can make this democracy-killing manifesto easy to understand and share.

• The People’s Guide to Project 2025 – Breaking down the far-right playbook to take our country backwards.
• Stop the Coup 2025 in English, Spanish and four other languages! Great site with short descriptions of each issue!!!
• Our collection of videos and articles to share: https://indivisibleventura.org/2024/01/20/join-in-were-translating-project-2025-the-gops-plan-to-destroy-democracy/
• 900 pages – That’s crazy! We’ve reduced Project 2025 to four, along with great short videos! Spanish translation at bottom. 
• What about Trump’s Agenda 47? Agenda 47 is Trump’s revenge-flavored frosting on the Project 2025 cake of Christofascism and corruption.  

(LATimes) “…In 2016, I published an article urging Never Trump conservatives to consider casting their ballot for a third-party candidate. In the election that year, I did just that.

I regret writing that column. I regret casting that vote. Voting for neither Trump nor Clinton seemed to be a “safe” way to express disapproval of both. Most polls at the time showed her on track to win comfortably. It seemed reasonable to argue that a significant tally for a third-party candidate might check her liberal ambitions. After all, the number of votes for independent candidate Ross Perot in 1992 may have nudged Bill Clinton to accept bigger budget cuts than he wanted.

But the 2016 election did not go according to expectations. Despite losing the national popular vote, Trump squeaked into office by edging out Hillary Clinton in key states where polls were way off the mark….Trump turned out to be a catastrophe for our country. Hillary Clinton just was a candidate with whom I disagreed. I wish I had voted for her and encouraged others to do the same.

Voters in…states [like California] might think it is OK to skip the election or vote for somebody who can’t win, thinking: “What the heck, it won’t make any difference in the electoral count, right?”

That attitude is wrong in two ways. First, “likely” does not mean “certain.” As we have already seen, the polls can err…

Second, the popular vote matters. Under any circumstance, Trump will almost certainly refuse to accept defeat. But if he loses big in the popular vote, as well as losing the electoral vote, it will be harder for him to claim that he is the people’s choice. The larger the margin, the weaker his claim...”

(LA Progressive) “I believe that this year’s presidential election does not present the average American voter, nor Socialists and leftists, with that same old “lesser evil” dilemma, the dilemma American voters always face when presented with a choice between the candidates of the two capitalist parties, the two parties that Ralph Nadar once famously said are really only one party. The one capitalist party though which Corporate America runs our nation. This is, I argue, because on November 5^th, what is clearly on the ballot is the fundamental question of whether we will preserve what precious little democracy we have left or, instead, vote so as to advance the fascism that has already taken root in America…

...I believe that even if the election of Harris does nothing more than slow down the solidification of the growing American fascism, it will, at least, give us time to continue to build on the renewed militancy and recent successes of the U.S. labor movement, of the anti-racist/anti-xenophobic movement, the women’s and environmental movement, and the anti-war and gender freedom movements…”

It’s OK to include a little self-love in your voting equation!

“None of gets out of here alive!”: But somewhere on the way to the inevitable, our bodies that will need medical care, either due to age, illness, or accident. Whether or not you can find the care you need, and whether you can afford it without going bankrupt or needing a gofundme account, is on the ballot as well.

We’ve included an explainer of the two parties intentions for healthcare in this voting guide. Yeah, it is actually reasonable to vote on this one issue alone.
