'Probably' and 'maybe' are hardly the level of rejection the world needs, but hopefully you'll step up! #midterms03 Nov 2026 13:31 +0000at://did:plc:xlobjhm6v4437kkqecaee2we/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzfx5dpu7c26https://bsky.app/profile/davidbird.bsky.social/post/3myoejx4rbs26A Green supportor, I voted Green. I expect to hear New Democrats blaming us for not wasting our votes on them. Reality check: they had a majority gov't & TWO YEARS left to their mandate. There was no reason for this election. None at all. The Conservative majority is entirely on them. #bcelection25 Oct 2026 04:26 +0000at://did:plc:xlobjhm6v4437kkqecaee2we/app.bsky.feed.post/3myoejx4rbs26https://bsky.app/profile/davidbird.bsky.social/post/3my4qgr4zl22gToday's voter turnout?

Are you going to vote? Polls indicate Democrats will probably take the House and may take the Senate. 'Probably' and 'may,' however, are hardly a resounding rejection of Trump. /1 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/us-midterms-democrat-surge-trump-republicans-9.7373368?cmp=newsletter_CBC+News+Morning+Brief_18425_220182008 Oct 2026 14:38 +0000at://did:plc:xlobjhm6v4437kkqecaee2we/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxeortxcxc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/davidbird.bsky.social/post/3mx45wzhan22oWith all the talk for #plague in Russia, its interesting to note that there are a half dozen or more cases of plague in the US each year and an occassional death.

And if you ever want to upset a Democrat, point this out to them. The reality is that voter turn out declined in the last election and most of that decline came from the Democrats. If they had stood up then, Trump wouldn't have won. It's too late now.
