Leftists - Tumblr Posts
who said u had to be liberal or conservative? Just be u and let the crumbs land where they fall.
I believe in trans rights but I just want to be a housewife. I don't think that a house caretaker is what every woman should be nor do I think that every man has to be rich and working. That's just what I want for myself. And I let everyone else worry about what they want. #actually happy with my life and proud
I asked cryptotheism if they thought whoever was in charge of the project 2025 camp would maybe let them put on little skits, and they blocked me.
Being on this site is such fuckin torture lately
Every other post is some smug piece of shit anti-electoralist "dunking on" someone correctly pointing out harm reduction is an important thing
If trump wins again it's all your fault, you fucking idiot huge-follower-count blogs, spreading the idea that voting doesn't matter and the dems are just as bad to your massive following who further disseminate it
You have to recognise that democrats are at least possible to make incremental progress with, while the republicans want you fucking dead or dying
it's so fucked that all these super popular blogs on here have this political stance that is actually more likely to lead to a republican victory, despite calling themselves "leftists". they are either too stupid to know that, deliberately ignorant, or they actually want the republicans to win, because in their mind it leads easier to their fantasy of a "revolution"
M.ostly S.ocialist N.ews B.roadcasting C.ompany. They're a Credit to their profession. NOT.
Democrat Propaganda Network MSNBC Receives $30 Million Dollar Lawsuit From Dr. Mahendra Amin Over False 2019 "Womb Collector" Report.
Broad-strokes of the case -Theres a medical facility that works for ICE -A nurse, Dawn Wooten, made allegations that she was told by migrant women that they received hysterectomies that were medically unnecessary -Dr. Amin was libeled as "The Womb Collector" by the migrant women at the ICE facility -Turns out that Nurse Wooten has no direct knowledge of what she claims -Also also turns out, there is no documentation of anymore than 2 hysterectomies being performed by Dr, Amin - Also also also turns out that both hysterectomies were performed due to cancer diagnosis -Also also turns out that MSNBC knew that was the case according to E-Mail correspondents -MSNBC even acknowledges in E-mails that the story couldn't be verified and that there was a malicious political bias in the story and ran it anyways because they wanted another scandal to attack, then president, Trump over. MSNBC are actually lying scum, but thats par for the course for Democrat mouthpieces.
HAMAS STARTED THIS???? Fuck all the way off. Israel was created as a puppet state in the Middle East. Joe Biden called it the “best investment we (the USA) made”. Israelis started the mass killing of Palestinians as soon as they arrived. This did not start on October 7th. Anyone who thinks so is a fool, uneducated on the subject, and should not speak on it. Hamas has tried to negotiate for a ceasefire, for the release of the hostages. Guess who refused? Israel. Israel has killed more hostages than it has saved. It is not conducting “self defense” it is carpet bombing an innocent population while committing war crimes against its people.
Vote if you want to. But more importantly, ORGANIZE. Fun fuckin fact, career politicians don’t give a SHIT about you. They will say whatever puts them in office. They are not your friend. The democrats don’t give a shit about fascism beyond how it will affect their success.
Do not shame those who find Kamala Harris, the woman who has always supported Israel, abhorrent. do not be baffled at the idea that she supports genocide. Watch the videos of people at the dnc convention closing their ears when faced with the reality of Palestine. Her government is supporting the genocide. Voting for her in some way contributes to it. I understand why people are voting for her, but voting will not save us. It never will. Organizing is the most important. Continuing to learn, and grow in your political journey, with an emphasis on intersectionality and nuance is nearly as important as organizing. This country’s governance is simply the infighting of capitalists. It will never help those in need unless it is profitable or advantageous.
It’s wild the number of posts I come across where people act like voting for or supporting Harris and Walz in the election is tantamount to implicitly supporting genocide. You know what actually helps genocide? Doing nothing while pretending you have the moral high ground. America is deeply tied to Israel and there will be no candidate who is as critical of their actions as we want them to be. We as private citizens do not have the power to make the USA suddenly cease all activity with Israel and demand an uncompromising ceasefire deal. Instead, we have to get our hands dirty and decide what path forward will mitigate as much harm as possible. You have one presidential candidate saying Israel needs to finish the job and another saying that we can’t ignore the tragedies in Gaza while vocally supporting a temporary ceasefire. These are your two picks. Thinking any third party candidate has a shot when none have any wide-reaching name recognition less than 100 days before the election is a fever dream.
The question then becomes, are you willing to say you voted “correctly” by voting for someone who has no shot of winning but is most closely aligned to you? Or are you going to vote for who will do the least harm? The idea that voting for a president involves liking them is a fairy tale. The establishment will always be the enemy of civil rights and safety. You’re voting for which opponent you want in office. The writing is on the wall about which candidate will be less of an uphill battle to fight against, and sidestepping the responsibility of making that decision by throwing away a vote isn’t moral or intellectually groundbreaking - it’s cowardly.

You know... It's quite funny how an ultra common thing among leftism is basic empathy. Like, I've seen some people get pointed at and called communist for simply saying “everyone should get free housing, education and healthcare”, or some shit like that...
debunking a capitalist thing
"people will only work if u pay them" holds true when the worker doesn't actually like what they're doing, and when they live in a society where they cannot live without being paid decently. it's all well and good for some ppl to work for free, but that is not a reality for many. they rely on an income to survive; their family may not have money, they may be completely financially independent. it's nice that some ppl (w/ privilege no doubt) are using to do good, but we shouldn't berate others in less fortunate circumstances for not following suit. if u were in their position, would u work for free?? hell nah. bc iN tHis eCoNoMy working for free without financial stability is unsustainable and frankly impossible for so so many. and this causes them to demand, no- deserve, payment for their work- whether they enjoy it or not. but i'm pretty sure ppl are willing to work for less pay when they enjoy the job, it's not exactly a revelation :// and as great as 'doing what u love' is, we can't let capitalists exploit our passions by providing our free labour to them- at least, not until something changes. they will spout all this "passion for your work" talk, and it's bullshit and irrelevant rn, bc that's idealistic and not realistic. they know this and are trying to appear progressive but actually they're benefiting from the current system, so keep that in mind. don't give them what they want.
(passionately written after seeing post fr @bravecrab, raised some very good points here. so good that i had to make an account pronto)
Listen, I'm not saying that not liking either candidate in an election and believing "both parties are the same" is grounds to not vote at all. I'm aware that harm reduction is a very serious issue and that throwing caution to the wind conveys a sort of privilege-driven apathy towards society.
That being said, the response of leftists towards people who believe that both parties are the same attempting to shame them for feeling this way is always so funny to me, because they'll say something akin to:
"Saying both parties are the same would've been profound 30 years ago, but now it just shows that you're out of touch."
not realizing the incredibly fitting irony in the fact that in the same way those who don't vote maintain the status quo by not taking action, they themselves are also contributing to it by actively playing into a system that always makes you choose the "lesser of two evils" rather than completely dismantling it and starting from scratch.
What's even more is the fact that these same leftists will always use the argument of:
"Politicians wouldn't try to take away voting rights if voting didn't do anything" as if the Electoral College and gerrymandering don't exist which stand squarely in the way of actual democracy, and as if both of these aren't just different forms of control that they've been duped into believing have any legitimate purpose behind them.
Fittingly, you'll find that their passion towards abolishing the Electoral College seems to be much quieter as well as their focus on participating and spreading awareness of local and state elections. Instances in which voting has a more immediate effect.
At the end of the day, while marginalized people will not be placed in immediate danger by choosing the "lesser of two evils", they will never truly be protected. Their fates will forever be hanging in the balance as if it were purgatory, never truly feeling secure because there will always be a potential countdown to when your existence expires.
The so-called "lesser of two evils" will not given them protection as much as it will continue to use them as a means of promoting an inauthentic message of progression and acceptance that the public overtime will come to accept as reality.
Oh, and for those leftists who are going to inevitably tell me:
"If you don't see the difference between either party then I don't know what to tell you."
Let it be known, not once did I ever say they stood for the same things, nor that you shouldn't fight against the worse reality. All I'm simply asking is, why have you become complacent with only two options, and if you are in fact not content with this, what are you doing to fix this?
