"He's gonna use this to his advantage." "Nothing could be worse for Biden's campaign" "his supporters are going to rally around him" shut. UP.
Y'all need to stop moping and put your money where your mouth is and vote.

I hope all the young people in law school or with plans to get into politics are watching how the judicial and political institutions of America are absolutely failing to stop christofascists and insurrectionists from abusing and subverting them.
I hope these young people will work to change or replace these institutions in order to stop and prevent this subversion from happening ever again. I hope they do what the current aging politicians are too cowardly, blind, or complicit to do.

side note, but i'm honestly appalled at the way people ask questions for the AMA. rude language, aggressive tones, and general impatience with the team are all super common and it genuinely makes me feel bad for TNT despite my issues with the way the site is run and updated.
people don't know how to speak to others and have no manners and respect istg. would y'all behave this way if it was a face to face AMA and you didn't have the veil of anonymity?

Who do you ship with....
Let's see what the rarepair/multi-ship side of this fandom has to say.... 👀
NO SHIP BASHING ALLOWED ON THIS POLL. This is for fun, not to be taken seriously. I tried to include as many "popular" options as possible (using AO3 as a reference), but obviously, with limited slots, there's only so many I could squeeze in lol.
With that out of the way, happy voting! ❤

I started reading Fear Itself: The Causes and Consequences of Fear in America by a team who has done a broad survey of fears in the US since like 2016 and I'm very early into the book (though it's not long) and it is already WILD seeing some of their findings—iirc you can see a lot of the raw data online for the study, but I'd used some of their data as a citation last quarter and even just the introduction is WILD to me.

« If Trump wins, I’m sure he will cut off aid and sell out Ukraine. If Biden wins, and if two-thirds of Congress remains supportive of Ukraine, the aid can keep flowing — and Vladimir Putin will gradually realize that he can’t prevail. That, in turn, might galvanize Russia into serious peace negotiations. »
— Columnist Max Boot at the Washington Post.
Max Boot was born in Russia and came to the United States at an early age with his family. He understands the mindset of authoritarians and oligarchs there.
Right now Putin isn't interested in negotiation – just surrender or crippling concessions from Ukraine. Sadly, the only way to end the war is to raise the price for Russia continuing it.
And the only way to push back against Russia is to continue the flow of Western aid – a plurality of it coming from the US.
A vote for Trump or for Congressional Republicans is a vote for Russia.
Liberal democracy cannot survive in the US if it is under assault around the world. Voting Democratic helps protect both.

heyyy, not sure if you were aware, but the op of that "girlhood isn't walks of shame" post is like. ACTUALLY a terf :x
Worm, i checked through the account a bit now and it does seem to be radfemmy, but like. I hope this won't get misunderstood, but i feel like it'd be a bit dishonest for me to delete a rb of a post i agreed with with the reasoning being "i don't agree with everything the op has said" yknow? If that makes sense. A post criticising tiktok bimbocore feminism is a post i agree with, regardless of who made it
