Vote 💙! Get the GOP out of our bedrooms and hands off our bodies! 👊👍😡 Who is with me? 🙋🏻♀️
I like the idea, don't like the slogans (lol)
1) GOP: does not work well with others.
2) I will listen to anybody unless you GOP away my rights.
3) GOP needs to ask permission. Too handsy.
We must vote blue AND make sure our vote is counted!
Lots of "Maggots" and Russians trying to stop us.
I AM IN😊
The slogans are 100% on the mark, and I am with you 100%!!
I'm voting all Blue 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸👍🌊
Electoral College MUST go!
You ladies please keep up the good work
"Freedom for me but not for thee" patriots...
I have a friend who is 72. She never voted. As a birthday present to me, she is registering to vote. She is voting blue 💙
😊😊😊😊😊
Well, that’s an incredible birthday present 🎁💙
💙💙💙
@@jeanneganrude8549 best one ever 💙
Thank you!! We need to persuade the persuadable! We must have more…
Voting is compulsory in Australia which this Aussie is grateful for
I am in Texas, super Tuesday will fall on my birthday and i'll be the 1st time voter 💃🙌 I am trying to educate myself on what I need to do in order for me to vote that day. Super excited
If you can, register to vote ahead of time. A lot of GOP led states and counties are very inconsistent with what they allow for same day registration, especially since it’ll be on your birthday. Make sure you have your ID with you too!
Do vote do vote blue please
Register to vote!!
🎯👏👏👏👏
If voting age is raised to 21, then military enlistment age should also be 21.
You need automatic voter registration for all eligible voters. And how the USA can call it self a democracy with the electoral college is totally mind numbing!!! 🇸🇪
As an outsider ( a Brit living in France) I am shocked by the continuing existence of the electoral college in your country.
Pennsylvania has automatic voter registration
We have the same automatic registration here in Portugal.
@@daydays12same!
We all know that there is one more word all Rethuglicons hate to say, "Democracy." That's because it sounds like what party? The Democratic party & God forbid, USA resembles those damn Liberals! You know that's exactly what Rethuglicons are doing here.
In that vein, Rethuglicons always knew that the less Americans vote, the better chances for the reichwing to win. A Rethuglicon party advisor back in the 1980s said this publicly, Paul Weyrich.
So from then on, Rethuglicons goal was to reduce voter turnout and suppress the vote as much as possible. With help from their own state legislatures to the rightwing majority on SCOTUS, they have done all they can to make this happen.
There are ppl, fighters like Mark Elias and Obama's AG, Eric Holder who have been aggressively doing all they can in the past decade to reverse all of that. But it takes work and money to legally reverse this reichwing fascist damage.
We all need to get involved to save our selves!
Ladies I cannot think of anything to add, you are 100% right! Vote blue! 💙💙💙
The large TX cities vote blue, are blue. Yet because of gerrymandering, the electoral college- you would never know that. I’m born, bred Texan - I’ve been all over this state- for work mostly. It baffles me that people think we’re a conglomerate of red voters. The red politicians from our state have ruined our rep.
East Texas here, and I too have been all over most of the state, and you are correct.
Arkansan here, and it's the EXACT same way in this state! All of our state's politicians pander to the Trump supporting crowd, and it just leaves me speechless! I sometimes feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone!
What fascinates me about Texas is that it’s the 2nd biggest state, with large cities and massive urban growth. The Dems always think they have a chance but they are always disappointed. Ted Cruz will win again🙄
I hope I’m wrong but history says otherwise.
Protests still work (in masse)! Let the Texas arrest 5 million or 10 million protesters. Let Texas feed 5 million or 10 million protesters!
Same with Kentucky.
National voting should be a holiday with full pay nationally! As well as in better weather months!
Ladies your spot-on as usual. Electoral college should have been changed when each state could PHONE in the results!! It's time to getter done! Our youngsters are our only hope.
Vote Blue 💙🔵
I need to thank you ladies, for helping me solve the recent “Connections” puzzle in the NYTimes. The puzzle gives you 16 words which you must divide into 4 groups of related words. A few days ago KITTEN appeared. I was confused until I remembered “Kitten Heals DeSantis. “ I paired it with “wedge, flat & stiletto” as types of heals. Thank you. And this gay man thinks you are groovilicious.
I am a queer woman and my wife & I live in WI.
I mean I don't need to say more lol. I so needed to hear this today, in regards to not losing hope about our country and its future.
I'm saudi.
but I feel compelled to watch them discussing whatever!
Thank you for watching! How cool!
Like 2A, the Electoral College has outlived its original purpose. Both should be repealed.
You ladies are so right about the constitution being
able to update as the country and world changes.
The logic of the GOP is the keep things the same.
With that logic, OUTHOUSES were used in the
past, so we should still be using them.
Either the same, or go back several steps/years. Always.
I live in Washington state where everyone votes by mail. I've been voting this way for over 15 years, it's so convenient to sit at my table to do it and then use drop boxes placed at many libraries and community centers. It's the 21st century and nobody want to wait in a line if they don't have to.
Ex- Oklahoman in Oregon now. We have automatic registration and all mail voting. It's awesome! You get your ballot a few weeks beforehand, and you have time to sit down at your computer and look up all the candidates in all the races. After you've made informed decisions, you just sign the envelope and mail it back or drop it off at a public drop box. The envelope also has a barcode associated with each voter to verify the legitimacy of the ballot. Secure and easy.
Wow I love this!
See, Republicans just vote down the ballot R. They don't actually really care about what the politicians are going to do for their constituents. It's weird and backwards.
Same here in New Mexico!
Brilliant...it should not be a time and access challenge to vote.
We also have auto mail in voting too in Nevada but...Dejoy is messed up our USPS and closing down our main facility in Reno here and moving it to Sacramento of all places. WTF? How in the world does that make our mail processing more efficient in Reno??
President Biden is doing absolutely nothing to replace Dejoy! Remember when he destroyed all those mail sorting machines around election time??
Why aren't Americans all up in arms over Dejoy & privatization of our mail system???
Screw putting the ballot in the mail in Nov.. We need to go into town and put it in city halls election box directly.
Fair Warning Oregon!
As an Aussie I am such a huge proponent of compulsory voting. Our electoral system at both the state and federal levels is top notch.
As a Brazilian I agree
Do Aussies also teach about the function of their government in your schools?
US use to, when our public schools were once prized for their quality of educating our youth.
Now, corporations own most of our schools and public schools are being defunded.
The goal besides picking taxpayers pockets clean is to dumb down The People.
Look at the cultists here.
Don't let the greedy billionaires take over your government. You'll never get it back.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT IHIP NEWS SPOT. KEEP THEM COMING
Thanks for broadcasting from behind the “iron buckle” / iron curtain of the Bible Belt.
Such intelligent women!! great points! VOTE BLUE PLEASE!!
This is an important conversation but how am I supposed to pay attention when Pumps is wearing those knee high boots 😍
The GOP is becoming the Christian Taliban.
Thats not an exaggeration by any means.
The Afghan Taliban have literally removed women from the public space, from society.
The GOP would love to do the same in the US.
On another note - love the boots Pumps !
Totally agree.
Republican apartheid.
This speaks my feelings exactly! I am in OR, vote by mail, I get a voter handbook with information on each candidate. We get those ballots about 30 days before Election Day. Super easy. I love your podcast. THANK YOU. Yes, “Crazy train has already left the station.” Thanks for explaining this sh.t.
You ladies are lovely. Thank you for straight talk about craziness.
I live in Washington state and we have vote by mail, which I have been doing since 1990. 👍🏼🇺🇸
One thing that would help would be to remove districts for the House. If we voted for House representatives like we do for the Senate, without districts, there could be no gerrymandering and the House representatives could be voted for by all people in the state.
We have to vote here 🇦🇺
We truly get the government we deserve.
Not always a happy outcome - but it makes us drill down to issues rather than presentation and spin.
How appreciative are we that we are required to vote. Until I saw the shit show in the US it annoyed me especially as I live overseas and can be removed from the roll but I vote in every election here in London for back home. I refuse to let me right to vote be taken away
Keith Olbermann says that Biden should announce that he is going to complete the wall. MAGA wouldn’t know what to do.
Keith has balls. Biden, not so much.
We have to do more than just tell people to go vote. We have to get out and help those that can, and want to, but have no way to get there, need help while there,... We have to make an active, physical effort to get the votes cast. The fate of democracy as we WANT it to remain needs more that lip service.
This is so strange. Every voting/election day, we have a public holiday. Just last week it was announced that the 29th Of May will be a public holiday to ensure everyone are able to vote.
Jenny you’re so well spoken. I live. Jenny for president 😅
Well said Ladies. Big thumbs up from across the pound 👍🙌🙌🙌
The only time voting has been hard for me is when i lived in the south for a decade. On the west coast we've been happily voting by mail for decades. I appreciated what i left when i came back to it.
It’s not the Senate, it’s the cap put on the House in the 1920’s. It also caps the number of electoral college votes each state has. So, more urban states have less representation than rural states. Check it out. That’s what is skewing the elections.
Never stop standing together for OUR DEMOCRATIC society, we are real people who matter more!
I live in Missouri. I agree, there is 🦇 💩 crazy stuff going on in the MO assembly right now!
True in every red-ruled state. 😮
I'm in WNY and when I vote I'm in and out in ten minutes or less.
I am in Canada, about a 15 minute drive from the Washington state border and I have never been so obsessed/dishearted by U.S. politics until Trump came down that escalator way back when. When Trump won the Presidency I was actually so depressed and I didn't even live in your country but I just knew the damage he would be able to do. It's good to see that there really are so many good and rational people in the States, because it's hard to see on the news sometimes. I had the same wish when Trump was leaving that he would leave the White House in handcuffs. I wish your country so mush luck in the upcoming election.
On the note of voting, South Africans please go and vote on the 29th of May 🫵🏾
when you Know you can't win.....you change the rules so you can....g.o.p. playbook.
Great conversation and insights!
As for big government goes, we are no longer a 13 state country! As well as owning most of North America we are a world power! This all requires big government! Like it or not!
Good point! The problem isn't "big government" as Rethuglicons love to phrase it.
The problem is what our government--our politicians in this government plan to do with their powers.
They could chose to help more ppl by staffing IRS with the educated agents to go after big earners that are deadbeats & haven't paid their taxes in years or the government can chose to harass young pregnant women who are running out of their state to get an abortion--and then waste more taxpayer $$$ to convict and jail them.
Rethuglicon misuse and abuse their powers. That's the only downside to big government. The very thing Rethuglicons all bitch about is what they all want to do to us; use government to control our lives. Take away all our privacy and rights.
Great podcast! Thanks so much, ladies 😊
Thank you, Pumps!
I screamed “But they’re already CRAZY” when Jelissa was talking about numbers
You 2 guys are doeing a GREAT job! Respect! 🙂
I love IHIP News!
At least Wisconsin got their gerrymandered maps thrown out so democrats have a better chance their now.
We’ll see!
Good to know. Thanks for the good news
Another baby step towards progress in fascist country is still a good thing!
So love listening to you 2 ladies ✨👠✨💖
PERMANENT RECORD!! BIG government!!
Love you ladies!! Keep fighting!!💙💛🌻😘🇦🇺
Love you girls! Keep these coming ! The country needs you!!
Gals, thanks for your thoughtful insight and pep talk! 💯 vote for the ideas that will help EVERYONE and make our lives better.
V💙TE BLUE!
We definitely need go from Constitution v1.27 to version 2.0. Roll all the amendments into a new document and make appropriate modifications to reflect modern times.
**Be careful what you wish for**
It just so happens that we have another tribe that is extremely paranoid and controlling and extremely regressive in US today: Rethugliconism and those ppl, though they are a minority, are the ones with big money--the greedy rich billionaires that mostly own our media, control what we read & hear about our government. That means Americans are more apt to listen to those pro-fascist, anti-democracy voices and NOT DO what Americans--the vast majority of us need to get done when composing that new Constitution & enacting it.
Just to change that document is an uphill battle. Democrats and leftwing voters are very disorganized!!! "Herding a roomful of cats" ..as Pelosi use to say.
There is danger ahead when making any change and we have to include these anti-democracy reichwing voices.
More Americans need to wake up to all that's at stake before any changes are made. When will that happen???
10s of millions of Americans still don't even vote!😢😮
Thank you
Both of my favorite ladies .....so RIGHT
Thank you ladies ❗🤩Keep speaking out❗😎🙌🏾
We should be helping our fellow man against dictators, feeding and housing the homeless, figuring out wage gaps and the constant mental health crisis. We're living longer and there are more of us then ever. We should pull together and save each other. Republicans that stand with Maga and the extremists need to be voted out. Once that happens we can finally heal as a country
As a Floridian, I 100% concur about the big government Republicans. It's exhausting and disheartening just trying to keep up with all of the authoritarian things they're doing, and I actually specialize in public policy. Republicans are the party of authoritarian big government now. White Christian nationalist authoritarian big government.
It's gotten to where I find crucifixes oppressive. Those big a** crosses outside churches make me nervous.
Literally same, I'm at the point that I shy away from people who bare the cross bc I just assume they're a lost cause and don't want to waste my time or even be associated with them.
Ladies, any chance you would run for office? I would vote for you!!
Pumps dressed like she's the President. Only President Pumps can save America.
30 minutes? Voting is compulsory in Australia and it usually takes 10 mins tops. But because everyone has to vote, the powers that be are very invested in what people tbink and have a stranglehold on all popular media. Murdoch owns something like 70% of our newspapers
I know all these things but it's good to hear someone else say it so I know I'm not just screaming into the void.
In Canada we are registered to vote when we file our tax returns. We check a box on the form allowing Revenue Canada to share our basic information with Elections Canada. Granted Canada's population is only 38 ? million. So each State tax department could offer a simular option .
They always have said that the reason people left England and came here was because religious freedom, wasn't England Christian too? There are probably as many reasons as there were people making the journey. The real reason "separation of church and state" was put into the constitution was because of Salem, Mass. 1692. This is the "Great America" they want to go back too?
England was Christian, but has no separation of church and state. The Pilgrims’ extremist religious beliefs put the at odds with the Church of England. They were politically subversive. Their choices were to shut up about their beliefs, be executes or leave the country. It’s easy to see why the founders espoused both religious freedom and separation of church and state.
Fantastic idea!! Don't forget "nanny state"!
voting blue
I can't remember when I voted at a poling place. I have voted by mail for decades. I don't understand why the vote by mail option is not available to everyone!
I used to only vote during presidential elections, but now my ass is out there for every single damn election! I never dreamed that the country I grew up in during the 80s would regress and go BACKWARDS concerning rights and freedoms. SMH
I HATED living in the Midwest BUT i made excellent friends living there. They were just like these ladies!
I found that since everything was so oppressively RED that we BLUES really stood out.
That actually made it easier to find people like me! We all had to be loud, atheist, gay, str8 not narrow, etc- because we were under fire everyday.
I love all my Midwest friends!
And i hate everyone else.
Amazing! Love this!
If they cannot manage to pass a budget, how are they going to pass a new law changing the voting age?
Pumps looking fierce ..
In Brazil, voting is mandatory, however you can still abstain by paying a small (very small) fee. Voting is incredibly easy, it’s just one day, a Sunday; if you work Sundays your employer is obligated to allow you to leave; your voting location is a school near you, we use voting machines, lines are short as there are plenty of voting rooms; you walk in, press the buttons, get your “receipt” and leave. You can also walk into the voting room and press blank on the machine. We have a direct democracy so same day results. I truly don’t understand why in America it’s so complicated to vote, why the electoral college is still a thing and how there hasn’t been a massive public outrage at this lol!
Everyday I am grateful for your sanity. Please everyday emphasize that everyone needs to register to vote and hold each other as a united front that we vote, get everyone to vote. This is more than Trump, he has made an army of these butt heads ..they all need to go in the LOCAL STATE and Federal....and judges....that's how we got here...mlets get the goods guys back
Americans have to stop voting like they are voting for a football team… When I hear someone say they are for example a third generation republican voter all I can think is how the hell has that helped? Give me a break😢 Everyone should be a swinging voter and vote for the party that’s is best for the country at that time …. Wake up people
The thing is, that's subjective. Every reichwing voter would disagree with you and claim they have been doing that. 😮Ugh.
As well as the big Govt GOP(tm) being a brilliant idea I love your quick thinking turn of phrase, one after the other, quick fire..
`there going to loose their mind... that train has long left the station... '
Made me laugh mighty heartedly.
The overwhelming amount of the government, and social services provided by the government are not paid by Nebraska or Wyoming, or even North and South Dakota combined. They are paid for mostly by the powerhouse blue states that the right really loves criticising for their policies that "spend too much of government money." This is effectively taxation without representation, and it's the major conduit as to why America was founded. Republicans almost always get their way in halting or impeding our spending on policies the senators that the majority of our country voted for try to put forth, especially in the supreme court now.
It's ridiculous to think they're a majority. Frankly, the majority of people aren't political at all, and when our rights are effectively taken away do apolitical people start voting. I don't think there's ever been a republican policy that has given us more rights in my lifetime.
VOTE BLUE FOR HUMANITY 🩵🇺🇸
I have had it with Whoopi. I am 45 and I watch the View. The way that she has been boomering lately has me very upset. Lol, love you all! 🤓
The second amendment is talking about MUSKETS, single shot two minute reload. BTW Utah has been mail-in voting for 15 years.
Exhausting the population to habituate it to accepting authoritarianism is a tool used throughout history. I know it’s hard, but please stay engaged.
his circle told him they'll use the 25th amendment section 4 on him if he won't leave the white house.
how did everyone forget this?!?!?!
I still don't understand why in the USA you are not automatically registered to vote when you reach 18, like here in Portugal.
And you still don't have an ID card for every citizen.
It's mind boggling from the ""greatest democracy in the world""
Was there not a law passed that the electoral college has to vote for who won the popular vote of the state?
The U.N. has declared the United States is a “flawed democracy.” In other words not a true democracy. That tells me a lot about our current political situation.
Three reasons we Aussies get voting right...we vote on a Saturday, you can buy a sausage sandwich on exit with onions and tomato sauce (ketchup) and we dont need voter ID. Just rock up to your local voting place usually a school, give your name, DOB and address, get handed forms big enough to wall paper your house and vote away. You can go rouge and vote for the marijuana party for the House of Reps or legalise koala same sex marriage we dont judge 😅😅😅. But the person that wins receives rent free accommodation at Kirribilli House located on Sydney Harbour. This is how Australian we get it, the official residence is in Canberra at The Lodge but living on Sydney Harbour is way better. We agreed fair enough.
WHY CAN'T WE VOTE THRU OUR COMPUTERS.?
THEY ARE SECURE ENOUGH FOR BANKING, BILL PAY,
AND MAKING PURCHASES. THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T
HAVE A COMPUTER COULD VOTE ON THE COMPUTERS
IN LIBRARIES. SURELY THIS IS A DOABLE THING.
Do you seriously believe that the computers couldn't .be hacked? The Russians are salivating at the idea. And there are more polling places than libraries. This would make voting even more difficult. I vote by mail, have for many years. Early voting by ballot drop box is also convenient. By the way, your caps lock is stuck on.
Russian hackers are salivating at that idea.
We need to address that the LOUD right is also including billionaires, CEOs, execs, I.e. the people who run a capitalistic country. So ofc we look crazy and anti rights too non-U.S. residents, the people with the loudest voice are the enemy.
2020 was the first time I voted since I was 18 in 1988. Being a lifelong republican, it felt weird voting for Biden, but I didn't want to vote "for Biden". I voted for the person that wasn't trump.
So you were lifelong republican and you never voted for it. That's good as they are evil.
So you were lifelong republican and you never voted for it. That's good as they are e*v*i*l
So you were lifelong republican and you never voted for it. That's good as they are vile.
So you were lifelong republican and you never voted for it. That's good as they are a disgrace
So you were lifelong republican and you never voted for them. Good!
We need an independent commission to appoint judges, not politicians.
That "sounds" lovely but who judges who is "independent"??
We are such a divided nation today!! Good luck with that idea now.
I would so love to hang out with you two.
Third party babes.
There is no historical period I know of-going back to Athens 480BC- when the republican correlate has not been in the wrong. The “what about me” rather than “what about us” people are always in the wrong.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
