fuck I can’t believe I have to say this but you know it’s not stupid or even immoral to have hope even when things are objectively bad right?? you do know that finding fault in literally everything and never permitting yourself to ever relax or be positive or hope for the best is ACTIVELY BAD FOR YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH, RIGHT?? PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME YOU KNOW THIS!!!

#I know this is the ‘nuance is illegal and makes you a bootlicker’ website but PLEASE #I’ve already seen so many posts and memes being like ‘who cares that we could have a female president when the us is still evil??’#like??? it’s been 24 hours and everyone’s already doing the thing they promised they wouldn’t #the us has been complicit in the situation with Israel and Palestine for decades now #every president you’ve voted for every president I’ve voted for every president we haven’t voted for has been complicit #I know it comforts you to think there’s some alternative that allows you to distance yourself from that suffering #But there isn’t #Your tax dollars have contributed to it as have mine #That sucks and we’re right to hate it and be mad about it #but we have a binary choice in November #both sides of which are Not Great on the Palestine issue but one of which is Much Worse #people are allowed to be multi-issue voters #It is in fact the only way the us system will allow it to work #people are allowed to say my vote will maybe make a difference in abortion access; trans and gay rights; student loans; inflation #minimum wage; healthcare access and costs; and the supreme court and whatever else they care about #it’s not wrong to think that way #it’s the only way we’re not going to worry ourselves down into little nubs by November #I’m sorry I know it’s bleak but I need yall to be adults about this #I need yall to show yourselves and your fellow citizens (not just in the us but everywhere) some damn compassion #If hope isn’t a weapon that you wield easily I’m going to need you to practice okay?#things will get better #there’s no other choice
