Announcing BreakingMom's "Go Vote November" Initiative

It's like No Nut November, except more positive, and not focused on guys' obsession with their dicks.

We have had an explosion in subscribers over the last several months, and with that has come an explosion in... other things. There's also kind of an important election happening stateside in like a week, so we're taking this opportunity to take a two-pronged approach to making a positive difference in the lives of our fellow BrMos.

GO VOTE NOVEMBER GOALS​


1. Register & vote in your local & state midterm elections! Google your state's voter registration deadlines and requirements, get registered (if allowed), and go vote! Recent polling shows upwards of 70% of all Americans agree that democracy is literally on the line but less than 10% feel like it's a priority to actually, you know, fucking do anything about. So please help save democracy and go vote!

2. Remember to UPvote your fellow breaking moms! Upvote moms who are having a hard time. Upvote moms who are freaking the fuck out about their kids' wellbeing. Upvote moms who have the courage to talk about all the shit that sucks ass about this gig. Remember: DOWNVOTES ARE THE TOOL OF THE SANCTIMOMMY. IF IT BREAKS A RULE, REPORT IT. If it doesn't break a rule and it just rustles your jimmies, mind your own business and back the fuck out of the thread.

Example 1: OP hasn't slept in 3 weeks and after the 4th straight hour of tantrums demanding more Cocomelon, she screamed "SHUT THE FUCK UP" at her toddler and now feels terrible. Do you:

❌ Downvote this terrible failure of a mother

❌ Report this post for promoting child abuse

✔️ Upvote OP & leave a kind, reassuring comment

❌ Leave a comment yelling at OP for being such a terrible mother

Example 2: OP is having a "help me not to kill my husband/neighbor/this bitch" moment. Do you:

✔️ Upvote OP in solidarity

✔️ Commiserate with OP in the comments

✔️ Report comments being nasty to OP

❌ Downvote all of OP's comments

Example 3: OP's saying some shit so crazy you're almost certain she's trolling. Do you:

✔️ Report the post

❌ Downvote OP

❌ Leave a comment ripping OP a new asshole

❌ Publicly call OP out as a troll

And so on and so forth. If you're not sure what to report and what to upvote, we have LINKS TO OUR RULES WIKI all over the place, as well as A WHOLE FUCKING WIKI on how we define support, and let's just throw in another link to OUR BAN BOT WIKI while we're on the path to enlightenment. If you're still not sure, go ahead and report it anyway. We would much rather have to approve a bunch of mistaken reports than walk into a thread 12 hours into a merciless dogpile on OP.

So please, help us help you to make this community a better, safer, more supportive space for the moms who need it most. And also go vote IRL because democracy is pretty cool and I'd like to have some more of it.
