#VOTE REPUBLICAN

[mtnman451]

Y'all say Trump has an "Enemies list" and is "Vengeful." Thing such as this are why we voted against your Candidate.

Please share this far and wide.

Kamala ads say she's going to build 3,000,000 homes for the middle class.

The population of the United States in 2022 was 333,287,557. Of that, 52% consider themselves middle class or 173,309,529.64.

So under Kamala's 'plan' 0.0173100695 of middle class Americans would get a chance to own or rent (specifically says 'or rent' in ad 😡) one of her 3,000,000 homes. Great 'drop in the bucket' idea there Kamala...

I have a genuine question guys, why are y'all voting for Kamala? don't just say it's cuz she's not Trump because I'm sick of that answer lmao

I'm not trying to be a hater or anything because I don't like Trump, but Kamala genuinely appears to not comprehend how the government even works. And why is she pretending that Biden never existed? Her whole campaign is just so embarrassing, but I do not want to vote for Trump, so someone give me legitimate reasons for how/why she would benefit the country. Please I swear to god 😭😭

(also before yall go throwing Project 2025 in the comments, its been verified that Trump has nothing to do with it, doesn't know what it is, and does not plan on enacting anything against gay rights)

I suppose its to be expected with the sheer number of political bots on tumblr right now, but goddamn the anti-Harris crowd has been incredibly unconvincing. Whenever I try to ask for elaboration on the claims they make they either fail to understand that more claims does not amount to actual evidence or they call me lazy/stupid for not doing all the work to find evidence for their claims for them. Its like, bro, are you even trying to be persuasive? Do you even actually want me to change my mind? What reason do I have to believe you even know what you're talking about, let alone that its an opinion I should share?

"Kamala Harris is going to destroy America!!" Ok, how? What is she going to do? How is that thing going to cause damage? What kind of damage? How do you know that it will have that outcome? How do you know that she will do it? Why should I believe you?

"Kamala Harris is a communist!!" Ok, how do you know? Or better yet, what do you mean by communist? What is bad about being a communist and how has she done that? As the saying goes, "even a broken clock is right twice a day," something being present in communism/socialism does not make it inherently bad. So tell me why the things are bad. Tell me why the specific things that Kamala Harris has done are bad.

Name calling, labelling, and accusations are not going to convince me if I cannot see why the actual tangible things are actually tangibly bad. I don't believe that anything is pure evil to even be associated with, so don't tell me "she is X therefore she is bad." Tell me why her actions are bad. Tell me why the things she supports have negative impacts.

Do you understand what I am saying? Do you understand what I am asking for? Do you understand yet why y'all have failed to persuade?? Do you understand yet why I am unconvinced??? Is anyone willing to step up to the plate and give me actual reasons why I should agree with you instead of just insults and accusations!??

I'm fucking tired of being expected to believe things without evidence.

Looked at Project 2025... and oh no! It's a standard conservative platform! With gasp "Anti-Woke Language"! DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN

But seriously, this shit is nothing new, most of it is promises that Republicans have been making for a while and do nothing about, even Trump. There's nothing in this about turning Trump into a dictator with full power over the government and the people, there's no building camps for the gays, trans, and minorities, it's just the boring old normal. The blue train is fear mongering about it, the red train is fear mongering what would happen without it, but it's literally just bleh.

I'm still not voting and this hasn't convinced me of some necessity to do so. I'd rather continue on with counter-economic means than to touch the partyarchy.

actually so tired of hearing “i dont know any of the candidates” “they all suck” “ill just do a straight ticket” “im not voting bc i dont have enough info” FIND IT!! and im so serious.. this is my first time voting n this is basically all ive heard with little to no info on how to actually find resources and information about voting. mind you this is the presidental election so i can only image how state and local elections will go… so i made this canva infographic with multiple sites that can show you your ballots, upcoming elections and information on candidates. share to all those “i dont vote” “im not informed enough” people. albeit late but remember LOCAL ELECTIONS MATTER !! also voting for upcoming bills etc!

Will foreigners be able to choose our next president? As it turns out, yes, maybe even legally. Catherine Engelbrecht has discovered a federal law you may not have heard of.

idk ... it is shocking to me that anyone is surprised by what kamala Harris said about trans ppl.. like in an election where she is so on the verge of losing anyway taking a really pro trans stance rn would be political suicide as... shock horror.. trans people are quite unpopular 😨

in this political climate there is no situation where she would ever be a #bigally bcs she cannot win with that stance ... she didn't even say anything anti trans or throw trans ppl under the bus lol she was just a bit obfuscating and vague about it.

idk why ppl r upset/surprised lol, who was expecting kamala Harris, notorious former cop (not cop but.. yknow), to be the face of wokeness in a political climate and country where that would be GUARANTEED to lose her the election. an election she is alr disadvantaged in due to her association w the Biden administration, her being a WOC and her not having a cult of personality like some ppl lol. I think she said the best thing she could've possibly said and more left wing (further left.. she is not left wing) politicians have said worse, more harmful shit about trans ppl.

I don't think anyone except neoliberal freak weirdos have ever claimed she was perfect but all u fucking performative one issue voter weirdos who won't vote for her bcs she's not perfect and instead will waste ur vote on 3rd party ... trump will win and you'll be more fucked.

I do think ppl r forgetting that no matter what kamala says the alternative is TRUMP and any vote not for kamala harris is a vote for trump and no one is really in a position to be all that picky rn bcs Harris will never be as evil as trump is.

I'm european, and I don't trust myself to throw around facts about usa politics, so I'm just gonna shut my mouth about this. I do wish kamala would've won tho, that's the only thing I'll say

anyway, I do want to complain about the politics in my country. sorry for anything that might not make sense. translating this is a bit hard ngl.

here, in austria, we had elections for the national council a while back. a party named fpö won. fpö stands for "freedom party austria." it's a right extremist party, standing for the traditional hetero family, against immigrants, against abortion and its overall pretty extreme and problematic.

the politician Herbert Kickl, which is part of fpö, often comes across as extremely aggressive, in my opinion. "Festung Österreich" which basically means "fortress austria" seems to be his idea of the perfect austria. he'd like to close the borders and send immigrants to other countries. (more on that in a sec)

his claims are so problematic sometimes, it's insane. he is the type of person that just complains and hates and throws insults around. he thinks climate change doesn't exist (or if it does, isn't man-made), and has some problematic claims that you can research if you want, I don't want this to get too long.

as of coming across as aggressive, he often reminds (not only me but a lot of ppl) of Hitler at his speeches. he calls himself "Volkskanzler" (Idk how to correctly translate that), which, surprise surprise, the nazis called Hitler. this isn't a controversial opinion of mine, as wild as it may sound, a lot of people think this way

coming back to the deportation of immigrants, the party wants to deport criminal or illegal immigrants. I understand that, yes, but it truly isn't just criminal immigrants. anyone that I know, that is a fan of the fpö, is very hateful of any immigrant at all. "if they work, they can stay". sometimes people coming here have to wait a long ass time to even be able to go work.

one thing I don't understand about this at all is all the boys my age that think it's cool to vote for this party. they're either not austrian themselves or have a ton of friends that aren't. pisses me off a lot

at the end I wanna talk about the election posters?? they're weird as fuck, if I can say so. I'll try my best to translate some.

"your will be done" - which is a verse in the bible and a christian song

"the only one on your side" - self explanatory

stuff like that. I just find them weird and uncomfortable because most of them are just plain white with big blue font on top, but that's just my opinion. what's really noticeable tho, is that almost 80% of the posters I see are scribbled on or ripped, which really says a lot. I've never seen a drawn on poster from another party. things I've seen on there are "nazi pigs" "no 4th reich" "fascists",....going on like that.

anyways, if you've read all that... thank you? I don't really expect anyone to. I just really wanted to rant about this. maybe it's nice for people outside of austria to see how politics are going here, I'm not sure if Americans, for example, have any clue about this. if I said anything that's incorrect, feel free to correct me anytime. I don't mind at all as long as no one insults me.
