There are [some ETFs](https://www.tcw.com/Products/ETFs/VOTE) that try to be somewhat progressive, but my bigger thing is voting with my money and presence. I won’t buy business goods from Koch Brothers subsidiaries. I avoid social media mostly, and I’ll generally avoid any business I have an inkling has some crappy behaviors. It gets tough to keep up with though as businesses change. I do my best.

What If: NOT POLITICAL I DON'T CARE WHAT PARTY YOU VOTE FOR SUCK DICK I WANT TO PROFIT I DON'T GIVE A SHIT The midterm elections show an overwhelming support for democrats, this threatens 🥭 and Co. Which in response call for voting fraud, blocking the elected members to take seat. In response riots start in every big city, Martial law is enforced and a civil war begins. What is the probability of a Civil war in your opinion?  What is the probability of a similar turmoil already priced in?

Absolutely. From the Snohomish County, Washington voter FAQ page (just the first one that popped up in the internet search): "Do I have to prove U.S. citizenship to register to vote? To register to vote in Washington state, you must attest in a signed statement that you are a U.S. citizen and eligible to vote. You must also provide a form of identification. Common identification includes a Washington state driver’s license or state-issued ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. Voting requirements are stated in plain language on registration forms and ballot envelopes. Voters affirm their eligibility by signing the ballot declaration during each election." And before you ask, yes, in Washington state you can obtain a drivers license even if you're not a citizen, so the ID requirement doesn't prove citizenship. Also, there is a bill that was passed in the House last month, the SAVE Act, that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote. It's not expected to pass the Senate because the Democrats are expected to filibuster it. THEY DON'T WANT A PROOF OF CITIZENSHIIP REQUIREMENT TO REGISTER TO VOTE. [How the SAVE Act could affect voting in the US | AP News](https://apnews.com/article/congress-save-act-citizenship-republicans-women-0c0ba9fd8e6a01cf144736490c71df21)

I have terrible news for you - Jerome Powell's term expires on May 15th, 2026, and Trump gets to nominate the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and his dipshit cronies in the Senate have to confirm him. The **ONLY** way for us to avoid having a Trump loyalist in charge of economic policy is to **VOTE IN THE MID-TERMS** and try to win control of the Senate. To make sure I'm not mincing words here, if Trump is allowed to install his own pick as the Chair of the Federal Reserve, we are completely and utterly fucked.

Everyone : vote against Trump, DON’T VOTE FOR THE CONSERVATIVES ! Canadians are not stupid. PP’s rhetoric has winded down a little but I remember 6months ago when he was on a crusade against « wokism » and spewing hateful and divisive rhetoric on identity politics. He is fear mongering like Trump, over exaggerating everything to make ppl scared and divide us even further. His campaign manager is a known MAGA sympathizer and lobbyist for Loblaws (yes who made record profits despite covid and kept increasing their prices …) Every politician sucks but in this election I’ll vote for the one who sucks less , who is an experienced economist, who’s got valuable contacts and networks in the UK and Europe to diversify our partnerships as the US is unstable, and who doesn’t create divisions with stupid identity politics when there’s more important issues to tackle.

Beardgardens

For the Americans and fellow Canadians: Trump was praising Carney after their chat. Trump wants Carney to win because he knows Carney would be easier to fold over, look at Carney's investments (hint: NY office real estate, they're already in bed together). Just because PP and Trump both run as Conservative (Trump is hardly that considering his wild ass actions tho, literally the opposite of fiscal conservativism), doesnt mean they'll have "no spine". Everyone: Vote against Trump, DONT VOTE CARNEY.

brandbaard

The president can't do anything on his own. At level one, he has a whole cabinet of morons writing the executive orders for him, because he's too dumb to write them himself and I'm like 50% sure he can't actually read or write. They are all either complicit, compromised or incompetent Then there's a whole congress who could've and should've stopped every one of these damaging actions. They are all either complicit, compromised or incompetent. There's a whole organisation, the GOP, that could've and should've stopped him long before he even became president. They are all either complicit, compromised or incompetent. Then, there's a whole ass country of voters who could've and should've stopped him, but they either wanted him or were too damn lazy to take one hour out of their day to go vote for someone else. They are all either complicit, compromised or incompetent. Even the Democrats (the organization), first they insisted on running someone wildly unpopular over the incredibly popular guy that would have run Trump into the ground, because they were high on having the first black president and also wanted to have the first female president. Then, after clawing back support, they insisted on running the most "the institution" guy of all time when the tide was flowing against the institution, got lucky and won once, then decided "let's do that again" but then gave up halfway through, and forced in someone that was once again, wildly unpopular. So no. It's not one guy's fault. It is the fault of every cabinet member, Republican Congressman, senator & party leader, elector, every citizen who voted Republican, every citizen who DIDNT VOTE, every Democrat party leader and every billionaire who funded this bullshit. The list of culpability goes all the way up and all they down and reaches well over 50% of the population of the USA.

A lot of us DID VOTE! Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but r/somethingiswrong2024

ItzGello

yea so once again 49.8 % of americans who DID VOTE, voted for trump. no, 50% of americans didn't vote for trump, but 50% chose trump when given 2 options (50/50) between trump and harris. in which, 49.8 % of americans who DID VOTE, voted for trump. 64% were eligible...cool...no one fucking cares they didnt go to the ballot and therfore their voice literally doesnt matter in this case and is not at all taken into consideration when VOTES are counted. in which case, out of everyone who DID go and participate, 49.8% voted for trump. So lemme clarify, 49.8% of american voters are dumb, and about 22.6% of the total american population is dumb. for IQ bell curves, the average IQ is about 99 or 100 depending on what u wanna round to for maths sake. 95% of the population have an IQ score somewhere between 70 and 130. 34% score between 85 and 100, and 14% score between 70 and 85. Meaning 48% are scored UNDER the AVERAGE of 100 (2 point deviation), ranging between 70 and 100 (the average). So yes, in terms of IQ, about 50% of the population is dumber than the average american, and of that 50% being stupid, about 22.6% of them are EVEN dumber than the other 25.4% of people in their group. Once again, think about how stupid the average American is (100 IQ Being the average in this case with 2 point deviation) and theres still 50% of the population dumber than that. (in reality its 48% with 2% deviation but deducted from each side its still 50%). and of that 50% that full under the average US IQ level of 100, 22.6% of them are even DUMBER than the other 25.4% in their group.

ItzGello

hey so 49.8 % of americans who DID VOTE, voted for trump...hope this helps!

johnny_51N5

They are actually the majority if you count them as a seperate party. 35% or something DIDNT VOTE. 31% for Harris vs 32% for Trump It's just insane how only 32% of the electorate and 23% of all people in the US voted for this shitshow.

Far-9947

I voted, and everyone in my immediate family did as well, but if I'm being honest it's stupid to leave it up to the electorate to not vote for a dictator. "HEY GUYS, TODAY WE ARE GONNA LET YOU GUYS VOTE TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN A RESPECTED DEMOCRACY OR BECOME AN AUTOCRATIC NATION!! YAY!!" It's honestly the stupidest shit ever. Nearly every day since election day, I ask myself how the fuck did this happen.  He should have NEVER been aloud to run again. You don't allow a person who tried to overthrow a fair and free election to just run for president again. That isn't right. It will never be okay. All the people in power who failed to stop him from running are mostly to blame. Simple as.

Ihavepurpleshoes

Serious suggestion: write to your representatives and point out that trump is insane and that they should be discussing the 25th Amendment. I know they won't invoke it. But imagine if they started getting thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of constituent letters demanding it. That would become new worthy, and once it became common knowledge, it might lead to change. Regardless, write to them. Call them. Protest. Don't let up. _And for god's sake, vote every chance you get._ No election is too small to care about. Find out who's running for school board, and ask them about their stance on book banning. Who's on your city council? The county board of commissioners? **_VOTE!_**

milosh_the_spicy

They don't. I heard a stat the other day that 11% of the population are MAGA. I'm not a data scientist, but my anecdotal understanding is \~30% of the populations DIDN'T EVEN VOTE. Yet they don't support MAGA. Hopefully this circus will be enough to motivate the self-proclaimed "apoliticals" to get off their behinds . . . .

l008com

We easily could have NOT put him back in power in November. But this is the guy we picked, and now we're stuck with him. They're not going to impeach him. If they didn't impeach him for trying to overthrow the government, they're not going to impeach him. There is no easy way out of this. The way out of this is that we need to VOTE BETTER NEXT TIME.

We tried to tell people he was not competent. We tried to tell people he has the Dark Triad Personality Disorder and literally is incapable of caring about anyone but himself. He hates America for putting him on trial twice and finding him guilty. He’s feeling sadistic pleasure in all of this because he’s making us all suffer while he golfs. THIS IS WHY WE TOLD YOU NOT TO VOTE FOR HIM!!! We knew via Project 2025 that he was going to fill his cabinet with Yes-Men and would be completely untethered from reality. But some people thought it would be more fun to “Own the Libs” and didn’t take him at is word. I literally met a business owner last Nov at an airport and he laughed off the Tariff threats saying he’s not going to really do it. OH REALLY???! I often wonder how that guy is feeling now knowing his business which relies on imports is doing. I’m not happy about any of this but like, I feel vindicated.

Thanks for being more specific, but YOU ARE NOT PART OF THIS CONVERSATION. My message was to the OP who neglected to share what they were even talking about. YOUR problem is that you are using LABELS, you are applying STEREOTYPES and you’re not even bothering to check. Well, news flash Buddy, but it’s what YOU JUST DID that is destroying America and is what led to Trump. Stereotypes divide and they push people to other camps. There is a massive divide between Democrats and republicans atm which WAS EXPLOITED BY TRUMP. And here you are pushing that deivide making it bigger with every breath you take. Did you FORGET THAT EVERYONE CAN VOTE? Exactly how are you turning things around by marginalizing, stereotyping, labelling, insulting people? Are you going to address the fundamental cause of all of this BS that is happening atm or are you going to simply continue to call people names and complain about loosing money? HOW DID YOU THINK THIS ALL STARTED? It’s may be weird, but it’s hard to write hate, WHILE being specific. So whenever I see hate, in ANY form, I’ll ask for details. and know what? You should as well, if you want to the Dems to impeach Trump after midterms. They’ll need to grab a lot of seats and it’s not possible until you stop insulting the people you need to win over.

TheADHDAdvantage

His supporters aren’t to blame. The 90,000,000 Americans who DIDN’T EVEN VOTE shoulder the blame. Fuck each and every one of them.

So trump is a genius for causing a depression. You people have no beliefs, “biden crashed the market and inflation, VOTE HIM OUT!” Trump sending us into juche “dear leader trump brilliantly destroying the market and higher prices are patriotism” Id tell you that somehow the value of the dollar decreased in response to the tariffs or that gas is crashing but you’d just repeat another mantra “oh boy cheap gas!”. Really just going to have to live with 30% of the population eternally brainbroken aren’t we 

cptahab36

That's reductive and unhelpful advice to future campaigns. If you enjoy losing and being high and mighty about your righteous failure, do it quietly lol. The campaign has a responsibility to convince people to vote for them. If a campaign fails, it is on the campaign. Blaming nonvoters or protest voters is useless, running a better campaign next time isn't. Also, protest voters VOTE for 3rd party candidates with no shot of winning, but at best can improve election structure at the local and state level, which can be good. Non-voters are people who DID NOT VOTE. Notice how that's a different thing, so there we would use =\= to symbolise not equal, rather than the = sign. Fun math tip!

PM_Me_Lewd_Tomboys

If the democrats didn't lose the moderate voters, Trump wouldn't be in office right now. That's not my opinion, that's objective reality. The average person doesn't believe: 'criminals should go unpunished', and 'pretending sexual dimorphism doesn't exist' are human rights. Again, go check the polls. I don't understand how you people are still burying your head in the sand after Trump won the POPULAR VOTE.

The first order of business is to take back the majority in both houses of Congress after the Mid-Term. That is the only way Democrats will have a voice and relative power. Trump currently gets everything he wants (including this fake "national emergency" he declared) because Republicans in Congress refuse to intervene. Republicans are so unwilling to stop Trump that they voted to voluntarily cede their power (given to them as a check and balance by the constitution) to Trump. If this last election hasn't awaken voters and lit a fire under their asses to change thing back to normal we will have a real existential problem to deal with. VOTE BLUE!

WHY DID PEOPLE VOTE FOR THIS 

ChristUnfoldedIs

I KNOW that warm bullshit like this is calming, but please don’t let this person’s bad advice slow you down. What actually happened just yesterday is that the SC rules that congress still has power by ONE VOTE. “Do we have an American king two months into Trump’s term” was 5-4. Trump’s approval rating is still over 50%. We are completely fucked. You will see the military deployed domestically soon, and he will never give up power willingly.

Ignore people hating on your question. You can make money while investing more ethically. VOTE is an option. It is similar to VOO in that it seeks to track to SP500. It doesn’t exclude any companies but seeks to transform companies practices through board-level advocacy. ESGV is a whole US market fund so similar to VTI but screening for poor ESG performers. VSGX is a similar thing for the International Markets excluding US (VXUS).

Anybody here with me in the $GNPX LETS UP VOTE THIS

Homefree_4eva

Yes $10k of real returns would be roughly the long term market average. Put it in an index fund. I like VOTE.

Homefree_4eva

It’s unfortunately a very low priority for many US investors. For myself, I have spent most of my 20 years of investing with pretty poorly performing green mutual funds. However I have more recently found a compromise. VOTE is a passively managed fund that provides exposure to large-cap US stocks (like SPY and VOO). The fund encourages transformational change in the public companies it holds by applying proxy voting guidelines and engaging in dialogue with management. VOTE does not promote socially responsible investing by excluding companies based on ESG criteria. Instead, the fund favors actions that encourage companies to invest in their employees, communities, customers, and the environment through its equity stake. If more people moved their index money to there, it could actually make a difference.

The market-cap-weighted index is composed of 500 of the largest stocks from a universe composed of US companies from any sector.

Homefree_4eva

Also consider moving any large cap index funds (e.g. SPY or VOO) to VOTE. It has only a marginally higher expense ratio (0.05%) but you’re paying for the fund managers to work on “encouraging transformational change in the public companies it holds by applying proxy voting guidelines and engaging in dialogue with management.

Homefree_4eva

Right, one small thing that helps me feel ok with investing in a general large cap index fund is to do it via VOTE which has a slightly higher expense rate (0.05%) vs VOO (0.03%) but it “encourages transformational change in the public companies it holds by applying proxy voting guidelines and engaging in dialogue with management. VOTE does not promote socially responsible investing by excluding companies based on any ESG criteria.

On at least certain types of "ethical" there is an S&P 500 ETF, VOTE is the symbol, that while it invests in everything it uses its voting power to try and make the companies "better." At an 0.05% ER, it isn't all that far off from other popular S&P 500 funds.

This needs to be at the front page of wsb because I don’t know if you guys know this, but most states have laws that betting on the outcome of the election makes you ineligible to vote. For example, here are the requirements for Wisconsin, an important swing state. To register in Wisconsin you must: - be a United States citizen - be a resident of Wisconsin and have resided at the registration address for at least 28 days prior to the election - be 18 years old on or before Election Day - not have been convicted of treason, felony or bribery, or if you have, your civil rights have been restored after completion of your sentence or a pardon - not have been found by a court to be incapable of understanding the objective of the electoral process - not make or benefit from a bet or wage depending on the result of an election - not have voted at any other location, if registering on Election Day DO NOT GAMBLE ON THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION. YOUR VOTE WILL BE THROWN OUT.
