Vote Blue No Matter Who They Kill - Tumblr Posts
Remember when Democrats kept insisting they didn’t understand how Republicans could keep voting for a guy who bragged about l sexually assaulting women? Remember when we said something that heinous ought to be disqualifying?
Remember when Democrats were proud to mask under Trump, who refused to institute a mandate for political reasons? Remember when we mocked the Republicans who refused to mask, and kept warning them that they were going to infect people because they didn’t give a shit?
Remember when we stood up for people who were accused of being criminals and terrorists because they were protesting injustice? When we shouted “this is what democracy looks like,” and called the Republicans fascists for trying to suppress us?
Remember when we all agreed the border wall was a stupid idea? When we mocked Trump for trying to put it up, and vowed to fight it until it fell?
When a liberal says "Project 2025 will become reality if Trump wins", what they mean is "Liberals are incapable of putting up meaningful resistance to conservative politics".
If the other guy winning is enough to make every far-right policy proposal a reality, then what does that say about your side, hm? Because either the Democrats have the capacity to fight the Republicans in Congress and in the courts, or they don't. If they don't, we shouldn't be acting like they're our only hope to stop the Republicans and we should be looking to other alternatives. If they do, then Biden losing the election isn't enough for them to achieve every single pie in the sky policy goal they have set for themselves.
Biden's low poll numbers are the fault of him and his campaign. The refusal of the Democrats to even entertain the idea of nominating someone else shows exactly where their priorities lie. They are perfectly comfortable with Trump winning so long as it means they don't have to capitulate to the demands of their base.
As an immunocompromised person, the second image hits me so goddamn hard. Like, how do you not remember mocking Trump’s policies that exacerbated Covid? How do you not remember being appalled that someone would politicize a fucking Pandemic? Did you mean anything you said about masking and social distancing, or were you just trying to virtue signal?
I’m sorry if it sounds like I’m trying to make this about me and not the Palestinians. It’s just a thing which has helped me understand the Democrats’ take on Palestine. They never actually cared. About anything. They just want to use pretending to care the way Republicans use pretending to be Christian.
Let me see the downfall of these psychopaths in my life
How’d that work out for us? Hmm, let’s see… Covid declared over for political reasons, Wall still going up, and, oh yeah, there’s a genocide.
I’m starting to think maybe you can’t push people while also swearing your unconditional support to them and attacking anyone who won’t do the same.
btw repeating 'trump is worse' over and over no matter what only incentivises the explicit dem strategy of intentionally boosting far right candidates so they have the worst people on earth to run against. it contributes to a state of politics in which the people on your side go out of their way to bring in candidates who want you dead. you cannot vote your way out of a corrupt electoral system.
First off, context matters, and the context here is a post about now telling Biden you’ll vote for him no matter what encourages a fucking psychotic strategy Democrats use to stay in power to the detriment of everyone relying on them. Which you’re trying to soften with ‘but don’t forget to vote for him even no matter what!’ Instead of attaching it to one of the fuckillion ‘vote blue no matter who they kill’ posts.
Second, I’m intensely pessimistic about the idea that Biden is someone who can be pushed left. Namely because I’ve been trying for four years and getting politely-worded fuck you letters back. And because he’s explicitly stated he doesn’t believe anyone actually has a problem with what he’s doing, or that it’ll affect their voting come November. And because even before the genocide, he was one flight deck away from doing a George W. Bush impression while declaring mission accomplished on Covid.
Oh, and because I’ve been watching leftists falling into line for the past four years instead of doing anything to push him left. And noticing the push him left rhetoric only comes out when it looks like Republicans might have a shot. Then fades away the moment it requires actual effort. And because I’ve also been watching the solidarity leftists were building over the Trump years collapse like a deck of cards the moment Biden got in power.

I take a step forward.
The democrat takes a step back. “You have to choose the lesser of two evils,” they remind me.

America's not so distant future:
Vote Blue 🔵 or We're All Screwed.
I’ve asked people over and over what their line is if genocide isn’t it. Pretty sure the answer is they don’t have one.
sexy US babes we are all voting blue this november right? we’re all gonna vote. we’re gonna, right?? right????? tell me we’re all gonna vote blue so that i can sleep at night. tell me you’re gonna vote blue so that we can all continue to sleep at night and continue like, idk, living life.
Case in point. You know, you can just say ‘I have no line and will just keep voting for my team no matter who they kill’ Trying to be sneaky about it just makes you look like a coward.

I want to vote for Harris. I really, really want to vote for Harris. I don’t want Trump to win the election. I don’t want to have to live with four more years of ‘what’s this sick fuck going to do to us next?’
But I can’t vote for the continued genocide of the Palestinian people.
I’m going to be contacting the Harris campaign regularly. I’m going to try and plead for them to see sense. But if they won’t, then come November, I’m going to have to vote for someone who has the basic humanity not to support a genocide because it’s politically expedient.
If you want to pick a fight with me, maybe you ought to use that effort on the Harris campaign instead.
If you want to engage with me about this post, please let me know when the last time you contacted the Harris campaign and demanded an end to the genocide. Mine was the 23rd of August.
Contact form is here: https://kamalaharris.com/contact-us/. I didn’t see a phone number, and can guess they probably won’t put one up because it’s much harder to ignore.
