Daily Discussion Thread: June 11, 2026
Welcome to the anti-GOP resistance on Reddit, and Happy Pride Month!
June is Pride Month, and we at VoteDEM will always welcome all parts of the LGBTQIA+ Community! We hope you'll join us in celebrating what makes each of us unique and incredible individuals- and in sharing stories of the local events and community-building activities happening all throughout the nation! We're sure you'll find your local Democratic party joining in whenever they can manage, and we hope you'll also support them.
Elections are still happening! And they're the only way to take away even more of Trump's power to hurt people. You can help win elections across the country from anywhere, right now!
If you want to take a bigger part in this and future elections, there's plenty of ways to do it!
Check out our weekly volunteer post - that's the other sticky post in this sub - to find opportunities to get involved.
Nothing near you? Volunteer from home by making calls or sending texts to turn out voters!
Join your local Democratic Party - none of us can do this alone.
Tell a friend about us!
Adopt a Candidate
It’s back! Want to take part in turning the midterms into a true blue tsunami? Adopt one of the candidates below, and commit to taking action every week to support their campaign!
Post your preference in the daily (or, to guarantee we see it, send the request via modmail) and we'll add you to the list!
With just how blue this year is looking to be, and just how many primaries are still to come, there's too many to list to kick off. It’s why we’re starting with select gubernatorial and Senate races.
Got someone who you want to adopt, but they're not on the list? Let us know, and we'll add them on!
As the year progresses and primaries come through, we'll be adding more ourselves, but the sky's the limit - we're excited to see who you want to support most!
