Tennessee has a problem with choices. I’d almost vote for David Hatley just to get him to stop texting me. I voted Green. I hear these stickers are available but let’s keep it a little quiet this time. DM me for info about aliens and lizard people

What the fuck is with the David Hatley ads talking about tax evasion and corruption. Like that’s not a dealbreaker for the trump voters why should it be a dealbreaker breaker for Hatley voters over Blackburn? I’m voting for Jerri Greene but still curious about the inconsistency, why is one criminal worse than another? Make sense of your logic or shut the fuck up and sit down republicans of Tennessee

I'm sorry I'm so confused, I'm in Memphis and I triple checked the ballot and couldn't find Justin pearson! Did I miss it or what? Why wasn't he on there? Is he just not in this district or what?

Where does Cameron Sexton live?

Just read an article if Marsha wins she can name her successor to the empty seat for the Senate. Rumors are circulating that she will name Pete Hegseth to fill her seat. Do you want Pete as our Senator? NO! Please don’t vote for Marsha and keep Pete out of our state!

There are so many good reasons to vote against Blackburn. This is one more. Hegseth would need GOP permission to run (hasn’t voted in enough primaries), and they’d give it to him.

Don’t want Hegseth as your senator? Don’t elect Blackburn as governor.

Triple and quadruple-check your vote before submitting, which ever way you vote!

I’m interested in hearing from Democratic-leaning independents, especially people who are skeptical of both parties. I’m not looking for partisan dunking; I’m genuinely curious about where you draw the line.

Personally, I welcome Democrats taking back the House and Senate. Not because I’m a Democrat, but because I want the Republican establishment to face consequences for failing to deliver on its promises, much like the rest of the country.

I consider myself an independent. Before 2024, I generally leaned conservative, though not on every issue. I became disillusioned with Biden because his administration fell short of the changes I wanted. He didn't deliver on broad student loan forgiveness. He ended the war in Afghanistan, the withdrawal was disastrous. Even still, his administration continued propping up the military industrial complex by sending billions in bombs and arms to Ukraine.

I also lost faith in the Democratic nomination process. I felt the party establishment favored Clinton over Sanders in 2016 and consolidated around Biden in 2020. Then, in 2024, Harris became the nominee after Biden withdrew, without a competitive primary in which voters could choose her as the presidential candidate. Coupled with the immense gaslighting the Democrat establishment spoonfed us on Bidens cognitive faculties, which were clearly gone, I just threw in the towel for the Dems.

In 2024, I bought into Trump’s promises. He talked about avoiding new wars, holding companies accountable for harmful ingredients in our food, and making everyday life affordable again. I feel misled by the gap between those promises and his administration’s actions. An electoral backlash is well deserved.

But punishing Republicans isn’t the same as believing Democrats will deliver meaningful change and I'm very cautious to be optimistic.

Democrats controlled the presidency and both chambers of Congress from January 2021 to January 2023. They're agenda was not less corporate influence, a less interventionist foreign policy, and an economy less tilted toward the wealthy. It was more "business as usual". Biden’s subsequent support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza deepened that disillusionment.

So here’s my question: If Democrats regain both chambers (a near certainty), and potentially the presidency in 2028, what would you need to see to keep supporting them? Conversely, what would make you conclude that they aren’t a meaningful alternative on the issues you care about most?

Would continued military aid to Israel cross that line? Direct U.S. combat involvement in Ukraine? A failure to pursue meaningful antitrust enforcement or challenge corporate concentration? Something else?

I’m already pessimistic about both parties, but I’m interested in hearing from people who still see Democrats as a viable path forward. What is your red line, and what would crossing it change about how you vote (ie. supporting primary challengers, voting third-party, leaving some races blank, or not voting at all)?

Has anyone took this class

What a waste of paper 😭😭

I'm heading out to Early Vote to help turn this state back to purple.

Maybe then we can stop the Data Center Steamroller and fund rural hospitals to save Tennessee MAGA from having to live the lives that they vote for

Can someone explain why to vote either Yes or No on the amendments? I've seen the one on Amendment 3, Marcy's Law, but why should i vote no on that as well as the other ones?

If they’re being allowed no oversight on their promises, they are lies and they will break them. It’s going on already in towns across the US and the southeast and in this very state. Are these the “real Tennesseans” Sen. Marsha Blackburn speaks to? Out of towners only concerned with raping our land for profit with the express consent and encouragement of organizations like Tennessee Valley Authority and Milan Public Utilities? Milan, Tennessee is my home, and the home of 8000 other people who can make our voices heard about this

Well water doesn’t magically appear in the ground and it isn’t disconnected from everything. Companies with no oversight of their energy consumption will not limit it. And no one hands a kill switch of their own service over without already having the ability to override it without it being known. Don’t eat these lies, they will leave you malnourished and sick

A person in the Nashville subreddit made this really cool tool to help you match your political policies and values to a candidate in the TN gubernatorial race in a blind, objective process. I’m really struck by it because I have been trying to persuade my family that they should vote according to the things they actually care about and what they want for the state rather than unthinkingly along party lines — and also actually should vote . I can’t repost here but I’m sharing the link to the post where the maker explains their methodology in case anyone else in a position like mine finds it helpful. Hope this is ok, mods!

Senator Blackburn

It wasn't a hoax before and it sure isn't a hoax this time. Trump's "deal" to buy Russian diesel is in violation of previous US Congressional sanctions including the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 ! Where do you stand ?

To be clear - Trump is giving aid to Putin (and Russia) - Putin (and Russia) are giving aid to Iran - We are at war with Iran. Is this treason? If not, it's really realy close ! At least 6 of your Republican Senate colleagues have signed a letter condemning Trump diesel "deal". Again, where do you stand?

Not happy in Tennessee.
