Presidential Primary – May 14th, 2024

(PARTIALLY) CLOSED PRIMARY – You must normally be registered as a Democrat in order to vote in the Democratic primary. However, Independents may also cast a vote on the Democratic ballot.

If you want your vote to count as a vote to survive, vote for Marianne Williamson on May 14th! Marianne has suspended her campaign, and is not on the ballot in this state, but you can still vote for her as a “write-in” candidate! She stands for a ceasefire in Gaza, negotiations in Ukraine, an end to warmongering with China, the abolition of nuclear weapons and a full-scale mobilization to address the climate emergency.

This is a primary election solely for the purpose of choosing the Democratic nominee for President. Your vote does not in any way support or enable Trump to get back in! But neither should it be merely a coronation for Joe Biden. He needs to earn our vote. And he needs to get a clear message from the citizens of this country who do not accept the status quo and want to see the changes that Marianne Williamson stands for. Vote to survive!

Presidential Election – Nov 5th, 2024

Nebraska is a solid RED state that Trump won in 2016 and in 2020. Biden has no chance of winning this state in 2024, although he could potentially win in District 2. Nebraska and Maine are the only two states that split their electoral college votes by district.

In Nebraska, it is safe to vote for a third-party candidate in the general election, without fear that this will help get Trump back into the White House. He will win this state anyway, and if he loses District 2 to Biden, he will have already lost the election.

If you want your vote to count as a vote to survive, vote for Jill Stein on November 5th! Jill stands for a ceasefire in Gaza, negotiations in Ukraine, an end to warmongering with China, the abolition of nuclear weapons and a full-scale mobilization to address the climate emergency.

Senate Race

Former Presidential candidate, Gov. Steve Bullock is running as the Democratic challenger to Republican incumbent, Steve Daines. This is a key Senate seat for Democrats to win in order to re-take control of the Senate and enable a Biden administration to pass legislation opposed by current Republican Senate Leader, Mitch McConnell.

Steve Daines easily won this seat in 2014, after the retirement of long-serving Democratic senator, Max Baucus. Since 2016, Gardner has voted in line with President Trump’s position 86.1% of the time, according to the Congressional voting tracker, FiveThirtyFive.

A vote for Steve Bullock is a vote for survival!
