With apologies to our many friends and posters outside the United States... it's time for another one of these! Culture war thread rules apply, and you are permitted to openly advocate for or against an issue or candidate on the ballot (if you clearly identify which ballot, and can do so without knocking down any strawmen along the way). "Small-scale" questions and answers are also permitted if you refrain from shitposting or being otherwise insulting to others here. Please keep the spirit of the law--this is a discussion forum!--carefully in mind.
If you're a U.S. citizen with voting rights, your polling place can reportedly be located here.
If you're still researching issues, Ballotpedia is usually reasonably helpful.
Any other reasonably neutral election resources you'd like me to add to this notification, I'm happy to add.

Social Justice.
Yes, yes, I know most people here refer to that movement as "woke". I don't like using that word. You can, indeed, search theMotte and find that it only shows up in my posts before now as direct quotes. As for why: part of it's that the time when I was semi-on-board with said movement was back when "social justice" was still the usual term. The greater part is that I'm an Australian linguistic snob, and "woke" is grammatically-incorrect African-American slang - i.e. a vulgar term from a demographic that doesn't even significantly exist in my country - so I consider it inherently cultural contamination and also beneath me. I suppose that makes me...
...a Grammar Nazi.
