Contrary to what you may hear from pundits and pollsters, people do not vote in blocs. Elections are won – or lost – by people casting their individual votes.

Don't assume you know how someone is voting based on superficial information based on stereotypes.

Of course when somebody waves a "stop the steal" banner and still gets agitated about Hillary's email server – that's somebody you shouldn't waste time on. But displaying a US flag, as long as it's not upside down, does not make somebody a MAGA Nazi.

Many cynical bothsiderists are not beyond persuasion. On the climate issue alone the difference between Biden and Trump is stark. It's necessary to make those differences stand out even more.

Not everybody is as engaged as you are. We all know about "low information voters" who mistakenly believe that Biden was responsible for SCOTUS killing Roe v. Wade or bizarrely think that Trump had a competent response to the COVID-19 emergency. In cases like that some tactful remedial history may be helpful.

The main point is that you can't leave it up to others to win this election. We all need to quit looking for some Deus ex machina to save America from Trump. When pro-democracy people feel that their own personal activities are what will make the difference between dictatorship and freedom, then freedom will win.

i can’t believe the majority chose Glorfindel in the zombie apocalypse: choose your fighter poll (silm edition). so what if he’s cheerful and has good hair. what happens AFTER he self sacrifices and DIES to buy the post apocalyptic refugees/you time to get away??? there are still (presumably) MORE zombies out there and your protection is gone!!!

Undead character showdown: Semifinals, matchup two

Who is your favorite undead character?

Propaganda:

Diggory Graves: "What if Frankenstein's creature got love and support and was also nonbinary and in love with a transmasc ghost? That's Diggory Graves in a nutshell. They're an absolute cinnamon roll and I love them with my whole heart." -Submitter

Kevin Wettsworth: "He's a powerful vampire wizard plus he's so funny." -Submitter

"And Kevin has his powerful wizard gun." -Voter

I genuinely don't have the motivation to put all of the propaganda as it's own separate thing so you can look in the notes of the linked post

In the White House press briefing room in the year 2069, the presidential lectern was alight for the first time in decades. On the dais, hidden behind thick blue curtains, a series of lenses came to life, powered by thrumming machines the size of cabinets. In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea, The light from the lenses reflected along an array of precision mirrors, engineered down to the nanometer, reflecting and warping the light, directing every beam to a spot just behind the lectern. A shimmering orb of color began to grow and take shape. It was a hologram, the first of its kind in quality and fidelity, but needing time to form. With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me�� The hologram grew, like a multicolored egg, until it took the shape of a body - a woman’s body, thin but not too thin, tan but also pale, tall but not too tall or too short, a work of perfection as delicately engineered as the machinery that created it. The Mary Jane shoes, the pleated skirt, the puffy blouse with Juliet sleeves. The cherry-red hair with a big white bow on top. The baby blue eyes with little white five-pointed stars for pupils. For better or for worse, the USA’s decades-long interregnum was drawing to a close. As He died to make men holy… With a thrum of light, the hologram was now displaying at one-hundred percent fidelity. The first president of the American League, a rough and discordant coalition of states that had emerged from the fall of the United States federal government, newly embodied with vague and untested powers in the transition out of provisional government, was an anime girl vtuber. Let us die to make men free, While God is marching on! She smiled. It was a wide, sharp smile, like the letter v, brimming with barely-concealed pride, the smile of someone who was always up to mischief, but never too much. She turned her head, letting the cameras see it from every angle, waving and winking as the booming chorus of Glory, Glory, Hallelujah faded into the background. “And we’re back, folks!” she said. Her voice was light and airy, like a rich pastry or a strong dose of anesthetics.  “In case you’ve been living under a rock for these past few years, I’m Sunny Roosevelt: winner of Miss Vtuber North America 206X, named ‘America’s Cloth Mother’ by the GLN Worldwide Weekly, and now, your president!” The ‘living under a rock’ comment wasn’t a rhetorical gesture; a non-negligible amount of people in the former USA had spent the past few years under some form of rock, whether that was an apocalypse bunker, abandoned basement, or literal rock. “Folks, I know it’s been a rough couple decades for America. There was mass infrastructure failure, natural disasters, zombie COVID, falling real estate prices, and I’m pretty sure most of Florida’s still underwater. But that - ends - here!” she thumped her fist on the podium. “Because I love America. I love America so much I am kissing America with tongue. To all my loyal voters, followers, and subscribers, my promise to you, now that I’m here…” her eyes narrowed and slanted sharply as she gripped the podium and leaned closer. “...big things are coming.”

On rates specifically, Trump could jawbone Jerome Powell like he did during his last administration. And there’s a good chance that he will replace him at some point. But even then this doesn’t automatically solve anything. If you take mainstream economic thinking seriously, and the Fed moves to aggressively lower interest rates to align itself with the administration, then this theoretically is inflationary, and then you just move the challenge elsewhere. A lot of the uncertainty hovering in the bond market is being priced into the term premium, roughly defined as the extra compensation investors demand to hold longer-term bonds. There’s a popular idea out there that the industrial policy of the Biden administration was a political failure. Efforts to reshore or revitalize domestic manufacturing didn’t change the Democrats’ fortunes among working class voters or deliver the Rust Belt states. On the other hand, it’s a little bit unclear how much this was the intent. A big part of the motivation for the IRA was climate-specific, and a lot new factories are in ‘red’ areas, in part to ensure GOP support for them after the changing of the administration. Furthermore, there’s a big China-hawk element among the Democrats’ ‘post-neoliberal’ base, which is in large part motivated by technological and industrial competition. [...] A bunch of stuff has been moving alongside Trump’s chances of winning (things like Bitcoin, DJT, and the dollar index), but one thing that’s kind of flown under the radar has been the move in perpetual preferreds issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a.k.a the GSE ‘zombie’ stocks. The bet here is that Trump could release Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from conservatorship, which would mean they could theoretically pay out dividends to preferred investors once again. And finally, people love to talk about so-called “bond market vigilantes” but stock market vigilantes also exist. According to Gallup, 61% of American households own stocks. Stocks are how people fund retirements, college education, and so forth. You could argue that — with the gutting of defined benefit pension plans — a rising stock market is an implicit part of America’s social contract. And so when you think about policy adventurism — such as aggressive tariffs — it might be useful to think about how that would go down in equity world, and the effect that that would have on voting households.​

What Anime Do I Watch?

An immediate return to anime polling - but only because I know I'm gonna catch up Spy x Family in one day. If this is your first time seeing one of these: I am terrible at finishing series, starting series, and making choices, so I let Tumblr decide what I watch.

Propaganda* (*my thoughts and stuff) below the poll. You are all welcome - encouraged, even - to reblog and recruit (bully) your followers to your cause.

Propaganda:

Haikyuu - I said what I said. Look, I know three of their names 2 seasons in. Kenma, because he's the best. Hinata, because idk how you avoid learning that when he's our main-est character. And Kiyoko, because I respect her but still had to look up if it was spelled like that or "Kyoko."

Horimiya: The Missing Pieces - More of my adorable lil romance anime <3. I can't prove it and it's not confirmed/canon but go watch season 1 and try to tell me that this show doesn't have strong "everyone is bi" vibes.

Zombie Land Saga + Revenge - We love ladies and hate TERFs <3

Jujutsu Kaisen - Like, I get the appeal of Gojo, Geto, and Nanami, but I want to understand the appeal of Gojo, Geto, and Nanami, you know? I have only seen pictures of these people and anime tiktokers simping for them. I want to understand.

Sk8 - I say this unbiasedly for the voters, but, like, y'all have been 2nd in every poll so far - you need a win.

Terror in Resonance - I'm gonna make y'all mad when I say this but I'm sorry I have to: "So it's like Danganronpa 3: Despair Arc but with a reasonable motive?" Thank you. I'm sorry.

Little Marko?!?!? Little baby Rubio!?!?!

I hate every single trump voter and vote abstainer and third party voter with equal parts fire and ice

This whole administration is a who's who of who I never want to hear from. It's a zombie parade of soulless dirt bags, grifters, and hate mongers. Every name I see makes me feel like I just ate a moldy lemon out of a dumpster. It's like someone went into a condemned biohazard lab and farted life into the worst pile of beakers they could find.

I don't know why little Marko broke me, but honestly so many things have broken me in the last week that I'm mostly angry shards anyway.

Sunday Music Review Poll

Zombie is the iconic 1994 single from The Cranberries' second album, No Need To Argue. Breaking from their usual sound, the piece has found wide appeal as a protest song in the years since, considered by most to be addressing not only the conflict in Ireland that it was written about, but all war. After the lead singer's sudden death in 2018, the song saw a surge in popularity and is the first song by an Irish band to surpass one billion views on youtube.

Nominations for this poll were made by @the-dragonlich, @cherrybombe, & @the-bitchet.

Voters are encouraged to make suggestions for repeat polls featuring this song in the future. Know of a good cover that wasn't an entry in this poll? Drop it in the replies!

(Please keep it to the replies of this post and do not send an ask. This is to keep the suggestions organized in one place.)

Contestant videos for this week under the cut:

Trump supporters are trying to blur Trump's racism by posting fake AI images of him being the object of adoration by African Americans.

One of the disseminators of such images is a white MAGA talk show host in Florida.

Unlike in 2016, when there was evidence of foreign influence campaigns, the AI-generated images found by the BBC appear to have been made and shared by US voters themselves. One of them was Mark Kaye and his team at a conservative radio show in Florida. They created an image of Mr Trump smiling with his arms around a group of black women at a party and shared it on Facebook, where Mr Kaye has more than one million followers. At first it looks real, but on closer inspection everyone's skin is a little too shiny and there are missing fingers on people's hands - some tell-tale signs of AI-created images. "I'm not a photojournalist," Mr Kaye tells me from his radio studio. "I'm not out there taking pictures of what's really happening. I'm a storyteller." He had posted an article about black voters supporting Mr Trump and attached this image to it, giving the impression that these people all support the former president's run for the White House. In the comments on Facebook, several users appeared to believe the AI image was real. "I'm not claiming it is accurate. I'm not saying, 'Hey, look, Donald Trump was at this party with all of these African American voters. Look how much they love him!'" he said. "If anybody's voting one way or another because of one photo they see on a Facebook page, that's a problem with that person, not with the post itself."

Basically, Mark Kaye is telling the BBC that he has the right to deceive people.

Another spreader of fake images is a Christian fundamentalist known as "Shaggy" in Michigan.

We tracked down the person behind the account called Shaggy, who is a committed Trump supporter living in Michigan.

"[My posts] have attracted thousands of wonderful kind-hearted Christian followers," he said in messages sent to the BBC on social media. When I tried to question him on the AI-generated image he blocked me. His post has had over 1.3 million views, according to the social media site X. Some users called it out, but others seemed to have believed the image was real.

FYI: This is "Shaggy". Is anybody shocked that the people spreading these fake images of blacks are old white MAGA zombies?

Apparently there are still people using oligarch Elon Musk's Twitter X. Don't expect Odious Elon to do anything about obvious attempts to deceive users.

Cliff Albright, the co-founder of campaign group Black Voters Matter, said there appeared to be a resurgence of disinformation tactics targeting the black community, as in the 2020 election. "There have been documented attempts to target disinformation to black communities again, especially younger black voters," he said.

If Trump supporters think that they have the right to spread bogus images, we then have the right to have some fun with them. 😋

As someone who voted for a far right EU party, I can tell you exactly why I did it : Low salaries, high cost of living, I'm being taxed to hell and back, everyone's on minimum wage and lives on the extra money from benefits, my personal freedom is getting more and more restricted "for the greater good", insane amounts of immigration, the job market is a mess... and the only thing politicians debate on is Ukraine and Israel, covid, and EU measures. No one is campaigning to cut benefits and lower taxes, they're all socialists who disagree on how to spend the loot.

I've seen governments from the left, from the right, from self-proclaimed "centrists" and "liberals", and they never failed to make my life worse. The only ones I haven't seen are libertarians, who have been hunted to extinction in there, and the anti-self-proclaimed "far-right", whose whole campaign is "curb immigration". At this point I'm just willing to try anything. If a politician tries to convince me that the other guy is bad and will destroy democracy or something, I just shut them off. At worst, they're just as incompetent as their competition, and at best they're going to be just as incompetent as their competition BUT they'll shake the political climate a bit, show the bipartisan conglomerate of half rotten zombies that wants to set a "united fromt" "for democracy" (= a one party state) that they can stick it where the sun don't shine.

That sounds about right or at least sounds a whole lot like what I've been saying as a reasoning behind voters going that route.

And then when the "far right™" parties start picking up votes they don't look at the why the voters are going that route, they just call them nazis or something like that and demonize them and then carry on doing the same thing they've been doing.

Skinner "no the children are wrong" meme, but it's no the voters are nazis instead.

Eventually in Germany and several other EU nations parties like AfD will have enough seats to operate without worrying about trying to secure any votes, granted that's the only way afd can since there's the whole 'won't form a coalition with them' agreement from all the other parties, but I shudder to think what might happen if/when that does happen over there.

Most of the people I'm seeing voting for those parties aren't far right at all, they're just tired of the people at the top not listening to their concerns, or just outright dismissing them even.

So they're going to take their votes to the people that do seem to be listening even if they would rather not. ____________________

gonna be people on here that read this and say I'm trying to promote a far right agenda or something like that, which is sad since it's the reverse of that I'm promoting.

This is how to keep a far right agenda from taking hold, one way at least.
