2024 Election - Tumblr Posts

Gonna go Google search "How do I immigrate to Canada." for no particular reason. Maybe with a side of "Political asy1um requirements." Just in case.

Oh man please let Trump loose to a lady president that would be so fuckin funny

I know this is not going to be a popular take online but honestly Kamala Harris is the first politician to ever make me feel even a little sliver of hope in my entire adult life.

I think that a Harris-Walz administration could do wonderful things for women's rights, and I think they could do a better job of bridging pay gaps and providing housing aid to people across the US. She's already proposed to a) build more homes and b) increase affordable housing stock. That's great.

Also, queer rights wise, Walz has already a) banned conversion therapy in MN and b) made trans-affirming healthcare more accessible. This is a stark contrast with Trump's proposal to essentially make being queer publicly illegal, take away trans healthcare, and eliminate queer media stories that we can see ourselves in.

And let's talk about education! Student debt relief, free school lunches for K-12 students, greater accessibility to resources that make teaching all subjects easier.

Medical care will certainly become more accessible. Even if it isn't free, she has said she wants to offer reduced rates on necessary medications. And you know what Trump is going to do? Jack up the prices. Like, cancer treatments and insulin will be unaffordable and tons of sick and disabled people will DIE. Also, abortion! That's health care! Women are going to die under Trump, especially when he wants to TRACK PREGNANCIES!

I'm getting really frustrated by the narrative that Harris specifically is simply "the lesser of two evils" in the same way that Biden was. She has outlined actual actionable steps to improve rights across the US. Both she and Walz have demonstrated that they can and will make things better than they currently are.

"Kamala the cop" is doing nothing when she has literally argued for defunding the police recently.

"But Palestine-" She's already calling for ceasefires, and she's going to be better than Trump no matter what. Also don't throw other minorities under the bus and literally let us die under the Trump administration for a single issue. Queer, disabled people, and people of colour in the US do not deserve to die for a moral stance. It's incredibly important, but not the only important thing.

"But I don't like two party politics-" no one does babydoll, but it's what we've got. We can take action and protest this system in the future, just as we can and should continue to protest for Palestine. But like, we are not dismantling a deeply ingrained system in the next three months, and it's short-sighted and idealistic to pretend we can.

IN CONCLUSION I actually think Harris-Walz can do a LOT of good and I'm sick of pretending that they're just a non-Trump placeholder in the same way that Biden was.

Funny how the leftists who brag about reading theory and have enormous superiority complexes are constantly demonstrating they don’t have any functional knowledge about civics in the US

You don’t have to like Kamala Harris, but by saying “if she really cared about Palestine she would’ve started an arms embargo or demanded a ceasefire by now” you’re blatantly advertising how completely uneducated and uninformed you are. You’re at the same level as the dumb redneck conservatives you love to complain about.

If you’re under the impression the vice president has control of the military, can pass legislation, can sign things into law, can bypass the Presidents’ actions etc etc, you sincerely need to go back to Schoolhouse Rock instead of spending your time embarrassing yourself online for moral superiority points.

Additionally, it would be nice for everyone to stop using the genocide of Palestinians as a gotcha buzzword to shut down any type of conversation about the realities of the choices for president. Stop leveraging other people’s suffering and deaths to feel good about your political stances.

American elections have very rarely been voting for who you want. It's almost always been both against who you don't want.

Hell, the last election between Biden and Trump had many people biting for Biden because they didn't want Trump to have another 4 years.

A vote is not necessarily an endorsement of a candidate. It can be, but not necessarily.

If you don't vote, then your complicit in whatever comes next, good or bad.

I'm sorry this is the hand we've been dealt, but folding has never been an option, and never will be an option.

NEVER THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY!

(captions added by me)

Holy shit...

An actually civil discussion? OP willing to admit where he misworded something? The responder willing to continue the conversation?

Maybe there is hope in the world after all.

1. I want to know the election that has ever stopped a fascist from taking power, genuinely I'm actually curious!

2. If the only choices you have that could be presented as "perfect" when you are given two presidents who both choose to facilitate a genocide doesn't voting in that instance become useless?

3. What exactly is Biden doing differently than Trump that would be worse for Palestinians?

DESTIEL CONFESSION MEME GO

no, i don't think political violence is a good thing.

i didn't start supporting it when trump was shot.

it would've been poetic justice for all of the political violence he started.

(some,) democrats already supported political violence when we shot and beat up college students for peacefully protesting

political violence and facism already haunts us

it is not something new to america

the lynchings were political violence

the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband was political violence

it already haunts us

it will continue to

and it will never stop.

i am not a hypocrite, you just don't realise you are one yourself.

you already support political violence when you turn a blind eye to Palestine, Myanmar, China, Darfur, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Syria, Iraq, The Central African Republic, Syria, Yemen.

Political violence will always haunt us, we are hurling towards becoming a facist country. Trump being killed would've helped us not be in that position.

We have 90 seconds to midnight.

make them count.

It's so inspiring to see people standing up against the evils of fascism, anger, vanity, hatred, contempt and offence! It's so encouraging to see that everyone with a little sense is coming together to say that the red-haired old excited man belongs on the golf course, rather than in the White House.

Well, we would send him to therapy, but it would be a waste of money, an open institution called a golf club would suffice.

He Can See The End

The things we will never (and shouldn’t) know.

I'm angry enough about what I *do* know.

If Biden does indeed get replaced by Kamala Harris, does this change my attitude about voting?

Fuck no.

My goal is to get anyone and everyone to vote blue, regardless of who is at the top of the ballot; at minimum, we need to fucking stop Trump from EVER getting back into the White House and implementing Project 2025.

We need to fucking hit the polls as hard as we can to tell MAGA to piss off and lose as many positions of power as possible and fix SCOTUS so it is no longer an arm of Christian Fascism

Kamala Harris' career is a perfect guide for how to infiltrate a corrupt system and slowly change it from within.

She played the long game and made strategic compromises. She followed the rules, even the ones she didn't agree with, knowing that doing so would enable her to rise in the ranks and secure a position of power. And then whenever she managed to achieve a greater position power, she used her new power to change the rules for the better.

And I think it bothers certain leftists that Kamala Harris exists, because she challenges the story they've been telling themselves and everyone who will listen to them, that it is impossible to change the system from within, and the only solution is violent revolution.

Kamala Harris is living proof that there is a more humane, more deliberate, and more effective way to improve a broken system than simply waiting for it to destroy itself and hoping something better replaces it.

Her existence challenges the worldview of certain extreme leftists who would rather punish the system for its sins than try to improve it. They have become so resistant to having this worldview challenged that they are participating in a smear campaign against Kamala Harris. They are now promoting a false narrative that she's totally corrupt and morally bankrupt and she hasn't accomplished anything, just so they can continue evangelizing their false doctrine that corrupt systems are irredeemable, and the only solution is violent revolution.

I don't know what it will take to de-radicalize the leftists who've fallen into this ideological pit where they value ideological purity over actual real-world progress.

Kamala Harris is not perfect, and that's actually a point in her favor.

Because perfect is the enemy of good.

We don't need our political leaders to be perfect. We need them to do good.

ppl r so based it pisses me off

sick of people saying kamala would make a bad president js because she's african american and a woman, like no stfu I know DAMN well u wouldn't be saying allat if trump said it now would you? project 2025 is sick. people who support trump and support everything he's doing and what he plans to do are sick.

when i see people express sentiments like this, my thought is pretty much “who exactly are you trying to prove a point to?” the democrats? if trump gets elected, they’re going to be completely sidelined if not worse and will be entirely focused on trying to get back in power and i can tell you they will NOT be moving further left. netanyahu? it’s a BETTER outcome for him if trump wins since trump is SIGNIFICANTLY more pro-israel than biden has ever been. the people in gaza? they need a ceasefire which has been rejected by both the israel and the hamas sides multiple times and a trump win WILL NOT make that a stronger possibility.

biden dropping out and oscar piastri getting his maiden win. today is a good day

people with PDA, you are not a horrible person for not voting this year. Voting is important, but it doesn't make you terrible for literally being unable to vote. I'm old enough to register, have been for a year, but haven't been able to bring myself to do it. Why? It's a demand. I don't realize how much my PDA affects me until it does, in which case I find myself wanting to scream and cry at the thought of doing something, especially something so important. This makes me feel like a hypocrite, a failure, a traitor to the multiple communities I'm a part of whose lives are at stake this year. But I'm not any of these fucking things, and neither are you.

I try to urge people who are in the space to vote to do so when I can, because that's something I can do. All that matters for me is that I do what I can, when I'm able. People seem to forget about those of us with PDA when telling those who are old enough to vote, and I'm frankly tired of feeling like I'm personally responsible for the downfall of America because of how my brain works. I'm not, and you're not either.

in case you're wondering what it's like to be in the us right now. we're terrified of trump becoming president. please vote.

I'm curious about what you Americans will say

Hey y'all so the last poll said ppl would mostly be voting 3rd party and Democrats who saw the poll shit themselves about it, but it was still kinda close!

Now that it's a lot closer to election time and people are getting serious about it I wanna see what's changed so new poll~

Have the recent debates and criticisms changed anything? I wanna know!

So, tumblr

(I know it's just Tumblr but work with me here)

Pls reblog for a bigger sample size!

People who follow me are mostly leftist and this will certainly skew results otherwise! I wanna reach more Americans!!
