Thing to keep in mind:
1) someone is gonna be in the White House next year, and it is going to be someone who supports us imperial interests abroad
2) both the main party candidates suck in their own ways
3) for everything you (reasonably) criticize Harris for, trump is demonstrably worse (very much including Palestine)
4) we are still feeling the continued impacts of trumpβs presidency, in terms of everything from the makeup of the Supreme Court ending safe abortion access and the lessening of safety regulations causing mass food outbreaks
5) a second trump presidency would be worse, for literally every possible issue you could think of
6) there is no scenario in which we could exchange our domestic issues for an end to genocide. We canβt trade reproductive justice for Palestinian statehood
7) the Biden-Harris admin had accomplished a lot of good things
8) good things the Biden administration has done do not excuse his continued funding of Israel committing genocide
9) Choosing not to vote or voting third party will not change any of the above facts. There is nothing to be gained by abstaining from voting, or by voting for a third party that has no chance of winning.
10) yes, this is supremely unfair. But there is no option b right now. This is the choice we have, and if the choice isnβt obvious to you Iβm not sure what to say
11) voting doesnβt mean youβre supporting this person, you like them, agree with them, or that you cannot protest against them, criticize them, or try to hold their feet to the fire
12) voting will not fix everything. but not voting will not fix anything. Voting is a tool, itβs not the only tool, but itβs foolish to refuse to use it on principle
13) if voting makes you complicit, so does paying taxes or using public services like roads or schools. I am complicit by virtue of living in this country and being a citizen. Refusing to vote will not demonstrate my disagreement with this country, only my complacency in how it is run

the homura and mami fight in rebellion is so good cause they throw away like 500 guns in that ordeal and one of them is a teenage girl magically pulling dolled-up muskets from thin air and trying to use them in close combat while the other is a teenage girl also pulling guns from seemingly thin air but theyre all normal guns stolen from the japanese military that she just had on her person and im not sure which is funnier
Happy 21st of September!

btw βactual feminismβ is trans inclusive and op of this tweet agrees :)
hot take apparently but i think it's good for white people to relate to poc's art. i think it's good for straight people to relate to queer art. stop acting like we're different species who could never possibly understand each other what the fuck is wrong with you
Seeing people decide to watch Breaking Bad based on the Tumblr memes is especially funny when they do it specifically for the memes about Jesse, because... well, let's put it this way. Aaron Paul, the guy who played Jesse, was nominated for a Primetime Emmy award for best supporting actor in a drama series for his work on Breaking Bad on five separate occasions, including twice in one season, and won three of those nominations. He was the first person ever to win that award three times for the same role. Like, Jesse's storyline is so viscerally unpleasant that it set industry records.
Jesse Pinkman is basically the prototypical Poor Little Meow Meow in that yes, he does objectively terrible things, but literally everything about his life seems calculated to maximise his suffering while he's doing it. It gets so bad that the show's producers ended up making an entire spin-off movie about Jesse in which he kills two men in order to obtain money to purchase a fake identity and go into exile in Alaska, and this is framed as his happy ending.
they put him in a hole and yelled at him

Youβre right and you should say it
No citizens of any country are somehow inherently bad or evil because of their government. Full stop. That includes Russia citizens, Israeli citizens, Palestinian citizens, Chinese citizens, Iranian citizens, North Korean citizens, etc.
Everyone in this world is just living their lives, each with their own complex needs and desires and interests and emotions. They all have hobbies and friends and families and favorite foods. They all have their own motivations and varying political opinions and views on their governments. They all weigh the risks of standing out or speaking up and they all make their own decisions about that.
They all fear the same in times of danger. They all feel grief and pain and terror the same. They all love and hate and bleed the same.
They are people. They are no different from anyone else, they are not monsters or caricatures or nameless bodies in videos. Complexity and humanity are not exclusive to your country, to people like you.

But I don't live in a swing state?!
every 4 years I see people talking about how they live in a red state (or more rarely a blue state) so their vote doesn't matter and I just want to briefly point out that I think nearly every state is either a swing state for the Presidential election, having a key Senate Race that will decide control of the Senate, has one or more key House races that'll decide control of the House, or is having an important Governor's race that'll could flip control of the state
Presidential Swing states:
Arizona
Georgia
Michigan
Nevada
North Carolina
Pennsylvania
Wisconsin
Key Senate Races:
Arizona
Florida
Maryland
Michigan
Montana
Nevada
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Texas
Wisconsin
States With Key House Races:
Alabama
Alaska
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Florida
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Maine
Maryland
Michigan
Minnesota
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
Ohio
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Texas
Virginia
Washington
Wisconsin
Swingable Governor Races:
New Hampshire
North Carolina
there are lots of local and state level races that are very important to, but my point was basically odds are very very good, you live somewhere where your vote will help decide what America looks like in 2025. Don't get tricked into thinking just because your state isn't one of the ones always mentioned in the news as a swing state that it doesn't matter what you do
And even if your state is not in any of those lists, and there is really and truly not a chance that it will go blue in any way in this election at any level, your vote still matters! Leaving aside local races (and your school board, sheriff, police chief, county commissioner, mayor, and other local offices have a huge impact on your community), your vote will change things in the 2026 and 2028 elections.
A district where the Democrat gets only 30% of the vote is very different from a district where the Democrat gets only 40% of the vote. In both cases they lose (unless the conservative votes are split). But! If the Democrat gets 30% of the vote, the Republicans know that next election cycle that district is safe. They don't need to put much money or effort in getting their guy elected, they could put up an inanimate object and it would probably win the race. So they can take all their money and put it into races that are competitive. Races that could go either way.
But if the Democrat gets 40% of the vote, that changes the calculus. Maybe it's still a safe district! ... but maybe it's trending purple-to-blue. If they want to keep it safe, they gotta pour resources into it. Which means they have fewer resources to spend on the swing states, which means that Democrats elsewhere have a greater chance of being re-elected.
Also, consider it from the Democrat perspective. If the Democrat gets 30% of the vote, they're not going to support the next candidate very well. They're going to use their resources elsewhere, and the chances of your district flipping or getting competitive are vanishingly small.
But if the Democrat gets 40% of the vote, then it's worth it to pay more attention to the local races, see if they can influence things and build up a voting base and flip the district.
Politics is a long game. You're not just voting to get someone elected this term. You're also voting to try and set things up so that things are possible further on down the line.
There's always going to be a next election (unless fascism wins). It's a tournament or a season of play, not a single game. Even if you don't win this time, you can set things up to put you in a better position next time.
Also, don't forget about ballot initiatives!
Missouri might be in a blood-red Republican headlock when it comes to office holders, but a constitutional amendment to restore abortion rights is on the ballot, too.
Florida also has an abortion access initiative, and in addition, you've got Amendment 3 up, which will legalize marijuana use and possession.
Ohio has a chance to change the way legislative districts are drawn, hitting back at gerrymandering.
Voting directly on issues is the purest expression of democracy, and one way even people in heavily suppressed states can get good policies around their shitty legislatures.
Also the "I didn't vote group" is the largest voting group by far.
Texas for example, if every Texan voted, would very likely be a purple/blue state but a lack of engagement (and aggressive voter suppression) makes it red.
The right engagement can push any state Blue or Red.
According to my brother, the camera operators are told in advance when they're going to be cut to or at least given a heads-up, so this guy assumed he was safe to use his camera basically as a pair of binoculars bc he wasn't supposed to get the focus. But the person who was switching between camera feeds accidentally cut to his camera by mistake instead of the one that was supposed to be filming, so they ended up televising what was supposed to be one man's private cockroach observation moment.
I'm so mad TikTok the app shares its name with Ke$ha's 2009 hit TiK ToK. Undeserving. Nauseating
I'm just saying, with Biden dropping out, this would be the best time possibly ever to have America's first female president.

Been mulling over the news today. But not about Biden, nor Harris. Not the breathless coverage of media-spinning-this-as-another-losing-move-for-Democrats.
I've been thinking about the right-wing in this country. The Republicans. You know, the group the coverage SHOULD be about. Especially as they've fallen into a fascistic cult of personality and vindictive cruelty-as-politics.
What is the Republican platform now? It used to be fiscal conservatism and 'business-interests' (at least on the surface), deregulation, less governmental power. Now it's, well. Trump. Sure. But what are they fighting for? "Get their guy in the White House"?
Well yes. But no. The Republicans are desperately trying to hold power. The power to dismantle the rights of every person in the country who isn't a white-male-Christian-business interest. One of Their Guys.
Why? Why so much now?
Because they're fucking UNPOPULAR. The country doesn't support them! If the entire country voted, the right wing would not meaningfully exist in the US political sphere.
Think about that for a second. REALLY internalize it: If everyone in the US voted, period, full stop. The right would be gone. The Republican party, as it is, now, would be a fucking joke.
So of COURSE they're swinging towards fascism. In a two-party system, a political party's only meaningful directive is survival of the power of their party. The very existence of Project 2025 is proof - it is the last, dying fucking breath a party that has TWO options to stay alive: Fascism and minority-rule, or change.
And they're sure not picking fucking change.
That is what we're up against.
If I could ask ONE thing of any person in the US who desperately wants to keep their human rights, who understands a loss in this election is likely the end of US-democracy as we know it - it would be to point the narrative towards the utterly vile platform of the right wing. Talk about it to everyone. Don't normalize it! Don't EVER say "That's just what Republicans do so it's normal". That's what they want.
If we win the branches of government - if we could make it 10% easier to vote. 5% easier to vote. That could swing elections and politics for a generation. We can even dream bigger: Ranked choice. Mandatory ballots. National holiday voting day.
And Republican strategists know this!! They're so terrified of it they're willing to dismantle the fundamental tenets of the United States of America to prevent it!
PART of why I'm so frustrated with the constant circling-on-Democratic-candidate is because it entirely misses the point. The choice is between a party trying to enshrine minority-Christian-Theocratic-rule in the country for generations - or, you know.
A middlingly-charismatic Democrat.
And, judgement-free - if you had a MOMENT of weighing the 'good' of those things, that's the fucking problem. These things are not remotely equal. The coverage of this political moment is like the coverage of climate change, and it gets into EVERYONE'S head - "The world is ending. But are hot summers REALLY that bad? Experts weigh in!"
The breathless both-sidesing of the current political moment is so appallingly, atrociously irresponsible I hardly have words for how fucking livid I am.
Vote.
i need people to understand that truly? things can get worse. you are not making a statement by not voting/voting third party, you are just letting people more vulnerable than you suffer. fucking vote
