"Hey, Bernie Bros and Black Women, I'm going to hacksplain to everyone why your two selfish groups were foremost examples of why Trump got elected his first go around." And align "perfectly" my ass! I was there...

Please STOP taking all blue voters for granted! Clinton characterized Bernie as do-nothing and, like you, expected everyone to simply vote for her and in MUCH the same fashion that Conservatives simply fall in line...

Biden did a MUCH better job with his messaging to ALL voters not already firmly committed to him...

Stop lecturing like Hilary. Be more welcoming like Joe. You win WITH people!

You’re seriously still blaming Trump on “Bernie Bros”? Time for democrats to start taking responsibility for putting up shitty candidates and deflecting blame toward everyone else, for once

Trump was elected by a very narrow margin. And there was a ton of polling and data crunching and statistical modeling going on during and after the election, so we actually know what the factors that tipped the needle Trump's direction are.

One of the biggies is leftists who thought Hilary was insufficiently far left. If every leftist who loved Bernie and disliked Hilary because she wasn't perfect enough had held their nose and voted for Hilary, Trump would have lost. They're not the only demographic that's true of; there are a number of others who, if they had turned out in force, would have turned the tide of the election. For example, if a higher percentage of Black women had voted, Trump would also have lost. You know what the difference is between your average Bernie Bro and your average Black woman? Your average Bernie Bro is white and thus a hell of a lot less likely to have his vote suppressed. He is a hell of a lot more likely to find it easy to vote. This is not me saying this because I don't like them, or because I think Hillary was a perfect candidate. This is me saying that when you look at the actual numbers, leftist ideologues who refused to vote for a candidate who was not their perfect choice was one of the main reasons Trump got four years in the White House.

In general, regardless of the candidates involved, if 55% of American adults vote in a national election, the Republican wins in a landslide. If 60% of American adults vote, the Republican wins by a bare margin. If 65% of American adults vote, the Democrat wins by a bare margin. If 70% of American adults vote, the Democrat wins by a landslide. If 75% of American adults voted--and voted regularly in every election--the Republican party would cease to be a significant force in American politics.

This has been known for decades. Republicans will show up and vote no matter what; a very high percentage of Democrats and left-leaning voters will only show up if the candidate in question is perfectly in line with their views. That's why we have a Congress that is dominated by Republicans despite most of the country not liking them, and that's why we have most of the political problems that they do. By waiting for a political candidate who is good enough, you are directly ceding power to the people who are making the world worse.

Elections are decided by the people who show up. If you do not show up to vote, your vote does not get counted. If politicians want to get re-elected, they have to listen to the people who will vote for them. If they try to listen to the people who don't regularly vote, they are far more likely to lose re-election than if they listen to the people who show up every election. And conservatives show up every election. If liberals and leftists changed our voting habits and voted in every single election--voted for the furthest left candidate in the primary, and whoever got the Democratic nomination in the general election--we would prove ourselves to be a voting bloc worth listening to and the party would move left in response.

You want a candidate who perfectly fits your vision and ideals for what America should be? That doesn't happen in a vacuum. That takes work, and the most basic level of that work is showing up to vote now and every time there's an election to vote in.

Just finished watching godzilla x kong the new empire. Tell me why I was more entertained by nonhumans who couldn’t speak than the actual humans with boring ass, lame ass, predictable dialogue.

The only exceptions being Bernie and Trapper who were my favourites.

anyway, make a two hour film with just Godzilla and Kong fighting each other like frenemies who are unwilling to admit they lowkey like one another.

can’t forget skar king, bro had that whole anime villain pose during his introduction. Lowkey loved his character, wish he had more screen time to commit more crimes.

anyway, was much more enjoyable than I expected. 10/10 with the exception of getting face blasted by weed as soon as I walked outta the cinema (I vibe with those that do it, but not around kids)

And I will never admit to remembering every godzilla thirst edit bc than I have to admit the unbearable truth (I’m a monsterfu-)

Also maybe bc it’s been a good minute but I did not understand the plot point with the girl from skull island. I don’t understand why she was able to do what she did. Was confused and they rlly didn’t touch into that. So unless it was revealed in the previous movies and I just don’t remember. 1/10 for writing

Can I go down to the DMV and get eight years taken off my age, because APPARENTLY it's FUCKING 2016 ALL OVER AGAIN.

I'm FUCKING sorry the Democratic candidate isn't FUCKING perfect enough for you fucking, FUCKING CRYBABIES.

If there was another viable candidate with the delegates and the numbers to take Trump down, don't you FUCKING think they would have come forward by now? Don't you think Joe would RATHER spend the next four FUCKING years relaxing in his backyard? Here's a hint for you fuckers: that candidate DOES NOT EXIST! And even if they did, it's too late to switch horses! WE ARE MIDSTREAM, BITCHES! Crank up the Tammy Wynette and STAND BY YOUR FUCKING MAN!

Don't you FUCKING ASSHOLES do this to me again, because my FUCKING heart can't take it. And I'm not talking any Romantic-era metaphor for sadness here; I'm talking about my LITERAL circulatory system and stress-induced myocardial ischemia, and I don't know if the treatment for that will be covered under a second Trump administration.

in the 2024 election alpha rose wrote in oglogoth & alpha dave wrote in marianne williamson. unfortunately they split the democratic vote, resulting in icp presidency

stan was a bernie bro but only in theory. he would put bernie’s posts on his instagram story and caption them with “✊❤️” which is basically nothing but his fans loved it so much that he went through a phase of really caring about voting like he posted pictures of himself at the polls during the primaries with the sticker on his forehead with a whole paragraph about how voting is, like, super important to do. but he got bored of this by the time the generals rolled around and didn’t show up to the polls because he once again no longer believed in voting.

I thought Indech was more similar to Bernie?

I know Seteth mentions it to Bernie in their support but -

We're talking about someone who welcomes people in his abode by playing a "game" where he throws infinite ghost reinforcements at them in a fog of war map - and calls this "having fun meddling with humans".

Also, while Seteth says Indech hid in the bottom of a Lake, the Indech we meet isn't hiding at all, but plays and welcomes humans so for his supposed shyness, well, maybe he got better in 1k years, or the devs forgot what they wrote...

In a way, Indech's excentricities remind me of Hanneman while he is also (even if we only have 8 lines about him) his own character.

So, hc wise, Indech is the brother who threw young!Rhea in a pond to teach her how to swim (Sothis had to fetch after a few hours since Indech forgot to pick her up) and the brother whose idea of training was "playing catch", aka shooting arrows at his students and expecting them to catch them, to work on their reflexes.

Needless to say, early adrestians ditched his training to follow Saint Cichol's classes instead.

Whew, apparently I lucked out and dipped in time since both of my shitheel exes have become rabid q-anon nutcases in the last year. I'm happy to say they, in turn, have lost the vast majority of their friends since they could only tolerate the hate they vomit all over the place so much.

Why do I never see anybody talk about Bernie??

Like where are my fellow fans of this massive fucking beetle

[butchlifeguard]

i do have to say that that one post really hurt tumblrs perception of what a redneck is. most of them are not 'left leaning to some degree.' and we have to acknowledge thats fine they still deserve basic human rights

[ileftherbackhome]

like how do you read a post talking about how "voting to save your own life is not privilege and anyone claiming otherwise is emotionally manipulating you to shame you away from voting" and come away from it thinking i am talking to white liberals who would not be affected by a second trump term????

i think that is my biggest issue with that response because if they had been genuine in their reading of my post, they would clearly see it as me talking to people who are certain that they would *die* under a second trump term. you know who i have personally seen be the most concerned about that? black leftists and frankly, black americans in general.

also, trans people because of the whole ACTIVE trans genocide trump started and wants to finish.

i am not talking to "white liberals" who are certain they would survive a second trump term and so to read it as if i am talking to you as a white liberal who is certain they would survive a second trump term to only then claim that "the majority" of "poc leftists" on tumblr (source fucking needed for that one and also who the fuck cares the majority of black or even palestinian americans are not on tumblr) are in favor of a second trump term is like.... peak... what did they say... "false promises and allyship" bro... how do you not fucking see that.

why is it that white "allies" always uplift the "poc" voices that agree with them on the "right" course of action being the most harmful one available? it's fucking wild to me.

i cannot even articulate it fully but it feels so blatantly anti-black and racist to me like genuinely, im sorry, but i dont really give a fuck what the majority of tumblr blogs thinks about anything in any real meaningful way to the point where i am going to base my real life actions on what they are advocating for??????? sorry bro but the opinions of my real life black friends and colleagues are always going to mean more than what some random blog i dont even follow or know the existence of on tumblr thinks i should do with my vote.

tumblr is the reason trump got elected the first time around, y'all are not going to convince me you're on the right side of history by claiming trump is the answer to any of america's problems. sorry, I've been on tumblr for FOURTEEN FUCKING YEARS now, I've already seen this horse and pony show. try it on the next bitch. not me byeeeeee.

we’ve been trying to figure out if the new asst manager is gay and the gay bookkeeper was like “give me one of the brooms not the ugly one” so i give him this black broom and we’re like ‘shes giving morticia’ ‘shes skinnyyyyy’ ‘shes serving cunt’ and the manager is like “ok i cant be here for this conversation” so the data point is moving towards “potentially still gay but maybe just boring”
