#boycott voting

[motherofplatypus]

This is how many bullets they shot on a fucking kid.

[lets-make-light-now]

Vote red white and blue for killing civilians all over the world.

Every Vote for USA is a vote for Israel.

Every Vote for USA is for genocide

[starlightomatic]

i saw someone the other day responding to a trolley problem election analogy by saying they didn't want to vote because they didn't want to fuel the trolley. but voting doesn't fuel the trolley! taxes do. why is it that i never see these people organizing tax boycotts? why is it only vote abstention campaigns?

For everyone boycotting esc this year and being upset that Israel made it to the final: let this be a lesson for any upcomming elections. Boycotting is a great medium of public protest. But if you boycott an election you have to live with what other people vote for.

Well it's all half as bad in this case - you wouldn't believe how little eurovision matters to the average person on the street - but remember this.

If you want yo have a say in the results you have to participate first.

Some scenes from Boston’s powerful Not Another Bomb protest yesterday. There were at least 500 people present from 20 different organizations. We heard from faith leaders, healthcare workers, community organizers, and two brave young boys from Gaza who were evacuated for treatment by HEAL Palestine.

Call your representatives and demand an end to funding Israel’s genocide.

Especially lean on your senators to introduce a Joint Resolution of Disapproval against the billions about to be given to Israel - copy-paste this into your browser to contact your senator:

Acting US president genocide Joe Biden started the Genocide.

Donald Trump already said that he will support Israel and sustain the genocide.

Why democracy? USA is Israel's little Bitch. Israel comes before USA

friendly reminder to not vote for skz or anyone at the mtv ema, they have a whole category dedicated to israelis. i promise you they don’t need the promo from this.

obviously as i’ve said in the past you don’t have to listen to me, i’m just a random person on the internet but it is truly the least you can considering the literal genocide and massacre israel is committing against gaza, palestine, lebanon, etc. just like lmb, there will be other award shows, they don’t need this.

When you take all of this together, the lies about immigrants voting, the mass voter challenges, the introduction of new processes to slow down and question vote counts, it seems depressingly likely we are about to see a storm of bullshit just like last time. And there are few things we should probably be ready for. First, unless there is an absolute landslide, we’re unlikely to know the outcome of the election on November 5th, and when it comes to Georgia, if Harris wins narrowly there, we’ll almost certainly see legal battles stretching into December or beyond, and which could eventually end up in front of [the Supreme Court]-... and all the while, Trump will try and exploit any delay or uncertainty, unless that is he wins outright in which case he’ll suddenly insist he triumphed over a rigged system. 

So that is what we can expect. What can we do? 

Well you can, and I hate to say this probably as much as you hate to hearing it, but make a plan to vote and help others do the same since the closer the race is, the easier it will be for Trump to sew bullshit. You should check to make sure you’re voter registration is current [ usa.gov/voting-and-elections ] to find links to your state’s voter registration verification tools, vote early if you can to ensure that if there’s any issue with your registration you can clear it up before election day, and if you vote by mail you can find a tracking tool for your ballot at this website [ vote.org/ballot-tracker-tools ] 

But beyond that, it is going to be vital to be resilient against the storm of toxic nonsense that Trump and his allies will try and stir up. It can go on for months and be stupider than you can even imagine right now. So stupid that someone you know, love, or are related to (and those are three very different things) might even think that there is something to it. 

But the key thing to remember here is that as chaotic as the last election was, in the end, our guardrails did hold. We’re going to need to make sure that they hold up again. And if we can do that, then, and only then, will we all deserve the single greatest sticker ever designed.

Done by yours truly, the most moral army in the world. Indeed, shooting 300+ bullets on a fucking kid is what morality is.

[speakercrab666]

Republican Green Day fans just now realising American Idiot is about them has gotta be the funniest thing i've ever fucking seen. like my guy they are a pop punk band. they be popping and punking. they've BEEN popping and punking. who the fuck did u think they were talking about????????

[meshaamem-li]

The public vote was rigged and you know it

how big was your gasp when you saw Israel rise from 12th to 1st place? be honest? your mouth hit the floor didn't it?

[jaarijani]

The fact that Joost got disqualified yet we still don't fully know what the hell happened yet is super sketchy...

Also the fact that one of the most (if not the most) beloved songs this year got disqualified is a really, really bad move on EBU's part...

Everyone better be prepared for tonight...

it's ridiculously stupid they've already lost about 90% of dutch viewers with this move and I'm sure they'll lose many international viewers as well because Europapa was so popular. This whole scandal is so ridiculously hypocritical and it looks and feels like a total setup. It feels entirely manufactured both to turn our eyes away from the cruelty in Rafah and to boost Israel in the final results.

They won't tell us the full story because they know it's unfair and hypocritical, Joost does not deserve any of this and I am so so saddened to see him turned into a scapegoat at the event that he's worked towards for years and years.

🇳🇱JUSTICE FOR JOOST🇳🇱

🍉BOYCOTT EUROVISION🍉

[rebel-girl-queen-of-my-world]

This latest surge of funding was approved immediately after Israel bombed a school full of families in the middle of prayer, burning them alive. Image 5 from @jewishvoiceforpeace proves that US-made bombs were used in this evil act.

Our “leaders” are violating international law and we need to do everything in our power to stop them. We especially need to hold Kamala Harris’ feet to the fire and tell her and all Democrats - genocide IS our single issue. How could it not be?

🍉 Email Kamala Harris at whitehouse.gov/contact/vicepresident/ - tell her you demand an #ArmsEmbargoNow and that she prioritize the will of the people over AIPAC dollars

🍉Call your senators and repeat

🍉 Join a #NotAnotherBomb action on August 18

🍉 Support mutual aid efforts to save lives in Gaza.

Today, the US & Israel committed a heinous massacre in Gaza City. At least 100 Palestinians were killed.

Israel could not commit genocide of the Palestinian people without the USA.

ARMS EMBARGO NOW

STOP ARMING ISRAEL

[edwinspaynes]

I'm fucking sick of protest voters who refuse to vote for Harris. I will personally blame all of them if I lose 90% of my human rights next week. Protest voters block me. I'm so serious.

[crazy-minded-girl]

Does the EBU think artists will want to participate in the future, when it is very blatantly apparent they are playing favorites. How many of this year's delegations have made complaints about being harassed by israel? There are videos circulating the internet of them harassing people. What does EBU do? They ban Joost, even though he wished not to be filmed by them.

When the wishes of the participants are not being respected, no one will ever want to work with/for them ever again.

I hope a very specific sponsorship has been worth it, cause EBU's reputation has been tarnished forever.

Let's not forget, we are all #united by music, unless of course our favorite participant, that's literally commiting a genicide, gets rightfully criticised ☮️

THE ARMADILLO HAS WON THE MOB VOTE
