Vote strategically to save the planet!

Your vote is your superpower! Use it to help save the world!

MID-TERM ELECTIONS 2026

This is the moment we can end MAGA domination of Congress and stop Trump in his tracks! But this is not the moment to give Democrats a blank check to simply go back to “business as usual.” It’s time for a new kind of politics to save ourselves and the planet. Vote strategically to stop MAGA Republicans AND Centrist Democrats from destroying our future!

Some of us can use our vote to make a difference with:

Crucial Democratic Primaries
(March – September 2026)

States colored light purple above, and congressional districts colored dark purple above, have more progressive candidates challenging (or being challenged by) more centrist candidates.

If your state has not yet held its primary election (click on your state on the sidebar if you are not sure), you may be in a good position to send a clear message to the Democrats: No more middle-of-the-road compromising with our future! We want Democrats in Congress who are going to stand up to MAGA nonsense, refuse corporate money and influence AND prioritize our future above all else!

Voting strategically in the Democratic primaries means, in most states (see sidebar), making sure you are registered to vote as a Democrat, and voting for the progressive challenger – or a write-in candidate – to the status quo Democrat. This is not the strategy when the status quo candidate is facing a more centrist challenger, but in most cases, Democratic senators and representatives running for re-election need to know that voters want a lot more than just more “business as usual.” We need many more progressive Democrats in Congress to challenge the position of the Party establishment.

More of us can use our vote to make a difference with:

Senate elections – November 3, 2026

States colored purple above are tight races between Democrat and Republican candidates. States colored red are solidly Republican and states colored blue are solidly Democratic. Gray states do not elect a Senator in 2026.

If you live in a critical “purple” state, voting strategically means voting for the Democratic Senate candidate. Whether you like that candidate or not, it is crucial to end MAGA control of the Senate and stop Trump from taking this country any further down the road to total destruction of the planet.

But if don’t like the idea of voting Democrat or you don’t like your particular Democratic candidate, you can swap your vote with someone in another state who will vote for your preferred party or candidate in exchange for you voting out the Republican. That way, you are still giving your preferred third party or independent an additional vote (in another state). And don’t just hold your nose while you vote, tell the Democrat why you are doing that!

If you live in a Red or Blue state where the outcome is already assured one way or the other, another vote for the Democrat is not going to change the outcome. But you can swap your vote to enable someone in a critical state to vote out the Republican and put a stop to Trump’s rampage. You are thereby increasing the chances of a Democrat-controlled Senate even though you are not voting Democrat in your own state.

And we can all use our vote to make a difference with:

House elections – November 3, 2026

Congressional districts colored purple above are tight races between Democrat and Republican candidates. Districts colored red are solidly Republican and districts colored blue are solidly Democratic.

If you live in a critical “purple” congressional district (see map or state page), you can also vote strategically by voting for the Democratic House candidate. Whether you like that candidate or not, it is also crucial to end MAGA control of the US House of Representatives in order to stop Trump from taking this country any further down the road to total destruction of the planet.

But if don’t like the idea of voting Democrat or you don’t like your particular Democratic candidate for the House, you can swap your vote with someone in another congressional district who will vote for your preferred party or candidate in exchange for you voting out the Republican. That way, you are still giving your preferred third party or independent an additional vote (in another district). And don’t just hold your nose while you vote, tell the Democrat why you are doing that!

If you live in a Red or Blue congressional district where the outcome is already assured one way or the other (see map or state page), another vote for the Democrat is not going to change the outcome. But you can swap your vote to enable someone in a critical “purple” district to vote out the Republican and put a stop to Trump’s rampage. You are thereby increasing the chances of a Democrat-controlled US House of Representatives even though you are not voting Democrat in your own district.

We’ve got to put a stop to this!

Trump said he wanted to be dictator for a day
so he can “drill, drill, drill.” He is now busy dismantling every effort that has ever been set up to address the climate crisis – as well as destroying every last vestige of arms control that might be able to prevent a nuclear war. He is literally bringing us to the very brink of a total collapse of human civilization, if not life on earth.

And it’s the Democratic Party establishment who got us into this mess! Biden was the most unpopular President in modern history, but the party insisted that he run against Trump. Harris took over at the very last minute, but insisted there was nothing she would do differently from Biden. That included “unwavering support” for Israel’s genocide against the Palestinians.

These are not your only choices! You can

SWAP YOUR VOTE

To make your vote count in this election…

Another term for Donald Trump would be an unmitigated disaster for this country and the world. But the Biden Administration has failed to deliver when it comes to most serious existential threats facing this planet right now -and continues to push the world towards World War III with Russia and/or China. We can do better than this – and we must!

It all depends on which state you live (vote) in, because in this great “democracy” of ours, your vote only really counts if you live in one of the so-called “battleground,” “swing,” or PURPLE states. These are the states where every vote matters because the vote is so close – too close to call.

In 2016, Trump won the election by just 10,704 votes in Michigan (0.2% of total votes cast), 22,748 votes in Wisconsin (0.8% of total votes), and 44,292 votes in Pennsylvania (0.8% of votes). Without those 77,744 votes in those three states, he would have lost to Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College (even though, nationally, she received almost 3 million more votes than Trump).

In 2020, Joe Biden won the election by just 10,457 votes in Arizona (0.3% of total votes cast), 11,779 votes in Georgia (0.2% of total votes), 20,682 votes in Wisconsin (0.6% of votes), and 33,596 votes in Nevada (2.4% of votes). Without those 76,514 votes in those four states, Biden would have lost to Trump in 2020 (even though Biden received a total of 7 million more votes than Trump overall).

Most recent polling in the key “battleground” states:

state	STATUS	Trump	Harris	other/DK	% gap	date
Arizona	PURPLE	48.7%	47%	4.3%	1.7%	Oct-27
Georgia	PURPLE	48.2%	47.3%	4.5%	0.9%	Oct-27
Michigan	PURPLE	47%	47.8%	5.2%	0.8%	Oct-25
Nevada	PURPLE	48%	47.7%	4.3%	0.3%	Oct-25
North Carolina	PURPLE	49%	47.9%	3.1%	1.1%	oct-25

Of course many things can change by November 5th, but Harris must win in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, to beat Trump in the Electoral College, and so far, the polls in those states are still very, very close – and well within the margin of polling error. If she loses Michigan or Wisconsin, we would have to win in Georgia to win in the Electoral College. If she loses Pennsylvania, she would have to win in Georgia and Nevada to win the election. And if she lost all three northern states, she would need to additionally win in Arizona and North Carolina. Again the polls in these states are very, very close – and too close to call at this stage. Other combinations of states are possible for a Harris win, but highly unlikely.

A few other states are also potentially in play, and we are calling these the “marginal” states (colored light red or light blue on the map below). But the reality is that this election comes down to a few thousand voters in just 7 PURPLE states. For the rest of the country, the outcome is already pretty well decided. But if you live in one of these solid RED or BLUE state, your vote can still make a difference if you SWAP YOUR VOTE!

In order to encourage people who are on the fence in PURPLE states to vote for Kamala Harris rather than for a third party or not at all, we need people in RED and BLUE states to be willing to vote for their preferred candidate in your state, in exchange for them voting for Harris in their state. (People in the marginal states can choose one or the other)

Are you willing to swap your vote?

Click on your state on the map below for details on how best to use your vote on November 5th, 2024 if you want your vote to count as a Vote to Survive!

Your vote can still make a difference!

Red and Blue States (Nov 5, 2024): In most states, you have an opportunity to vote for third-party candidates like Cornel West (Independent), Claudia de la Cruz (Socialist), Chase Oliver (Libertarian) or Jill Stein (Green), without any risk of helping Trump get elected, since in Red States Trump is going to win no matter how you vote, and in Blue States Harris is going to win no matter how you vote. But you help prevent Trump from winning with swap your vote.

Purple States (Nov 5, 2024): It is only in the so-called “battleground” purple states that your vote really does determine who will end up in the White House. If you live in one of these states, you can swap your vote with someone in a red or blue state in order to add a vote to a survival candidate while still making sure that you are not helping Trump get elected.

“Marginal” Light Red and Light Blue States: In these states, either Trump or Harris is highly likely to win – and they are not critical to the final result. So you can choose to vote for a third party and swap your vote as if it were a solid RED or solid BLUE state. BUT, if you want to ensure a Harris victory and don’t like taking chances, you can choose to vote for Harris and swap your vote as if you are in a PURPLE state.

Net result: We will end up with President Harris, but you have a chance to make clear to her that you want to see some changes – and especially in addressing the existential threats to humanity!
