U.S. politics: elections, Democrats
Dems wrapping up election-day eve on a "democracy is on the ballot" note is probably gonna cost them a lot of seats in Congress. Republicans are undeniably proposing and implementing changes that will erode democratic institutions, but average voters care more about the economy right now. They should've zeroed in on how they stanched economic meltdown, citing the grim circumstances in Europe, and how Republicans are floating massive cuts to social security and health care. I can't help but think dems have, more often than not, so much disconnect with the average voter

Hey Americans do NOT let someone disenfranchise you. Vote has been a very hard fought RIGHT and DO NOT SQUANDER it. The country, democracy and fellow citizens NEED YOU. MAKE A POINT TO GO OUT THERE AND BE COUNTED.

So the choice is between approving of the killing of a million Americans, or abandoning democracy...
That sucks.
Here's my take...

The rules and customs vary from instance to instance. Here on qoto, CW's are only required for certian content. (See: https://qoto.org/about/more#rules)
If someone from another instance is looking at the federated timeline, they're going to see all kinds of stuff anyway.
Also, when did civic participation become offensive?
@Pat you have a point. I’ll perhaps stop using CW for political toots
@Pat I heard that’s a standard practice here on Mastodon and I intend to respect it—although I don’t quite understand if it actually really matters that much
