Get Your Pagan Ass Into The Damn Voting Booth!

This is Ares. He likes war and all, but he's looking for a day off to go spend with his girlfriend(s). You can help by voting for candidates who are opposed to our engagements with nameless "terror organizations" which might include anyone. Really, literally, anyone. — This is Ares.

This is Thenea and her deific friends reminding you to GET YOUR ASS INTO THE DAMN VOTING BOOTH.

There is a 90% chance (since you are reading this) that you belong to a minority religion in a country careening towards a Theocracy.

There is a 60-70% chance that you are someone with a low-income job in a country careening towards a Plutocracy.

There is a 51% chance that you are a woman in a country that is looking to make your health and reproductive choices for you.

There is a 100% chance that you are a person in a country that wants to invade your privacy.

If you have been looking for ways to fix these problems online through online polls and “MoveOn.org” style organizations, good for you. The best and most powerful thing you can do is:

Know the political players in this election
Know who funds the candidates
Know the candidate’s voting record
Do research
Share research
VOTE!

These things are more effective than:

Doing a magical working “for the highest and the best”
Hexing the crap out of a politician you don’t agree with
Promising a perfect hecatomb to Athena or Zeus if they fix the problem
Sitting on your butt and watching Game of Thrones
Going to the SCA, and pretending that you live in Camelot (Though it may be tempting…)
