#but like... why not also vote?

[medicinemane]

Like here's the thing, I'm never gonna tell you how to vote

Two reasons, one is it's not really my business other than maybe some general advice (like I think voting for cruel people is a bad idea), but two and kinda more importantly is you aren't gonna listen unless you already agree and I'll probably just piss you off and if anything vote to spite me

Nah, better to leave you to make your own choices

But you'll forgive me for continuing to try to nudge people to vote. In part, it's cause I see people pushing not voting and it's like... to me that feels like an attempt to get people to drop out so they can have a bigger sway, it doesn't feel good faith

But also it's just like... shit's fucking bad everywhere right now, and I really don't have a whole lotta faith in voting but we might as well exhaust the options we have just in case

And like... when I say I don't have a lot of faith, if you pull back a bit what I really mean is I don't have faith in countries as a whole to do stuff like voting in primaries and not just going for whoever they think'll win... like... there's no downside to voting for who you like in a primary, unless there's another dark horse candidate you think has a better chance of unseating whatever asshole you don't want... but like never bother voting for the person that's probably gonna win unless you actually want them

So that's why I say I specifically have little faith in primaries even more than other elections

Anyway though... you might as well get to vote on amendments and shit, and if you're doing that you might as well pick whoever makes you want to blow your brains out the least (dear god they're coming up and even gone in some place but vote in the primaries to maybe get at least one good candidate on some ballot somewhere)

But yeah, not gonna ever tell you how to vote other than broadstrokes, but I will just keep saying I think it's good to vote

I also very much will keep suggesting you do mail in voting if you can, and that one's legit me just looking out for you, cause going places and standing in line sucks a lot more than checking the mail, filling something out at home, and dropping it off

"don't make it political!" .... what proportion of death and suffering must occur before politics are involved. if this isn't political, what is even the point of any politics, ever. of democracy. the words are "by the people for the people." if i am going to be left alone by my elected representatives to "figure it out" - to undergo damage, hardship, fear. what the fuck did i elect them for. what was their job. the entire point is that they handle this shit. this is why we were supposed to be electing leaders.

poverty is political. misogyny is political. gun control is political. climate change is political. how much aid a community gets is political. what the fuck are you talking about. it's been political this whole fucking time.

Reblog after voting please!

[m-a-d-e-l-e-i-n-e]

I hope leftists who think they’re above voting for president or are voting for Jill Stein or whoever because it’s their stupid way of protesting the system feel good about themselves, especially if Trump wins partly because of your negligence 😍 I know you’re not doing shit to plan the proletarian revolution, especially before January, so you guys better not complain about something harming you that you didn’t even bother to try and change

(edit: changed the last part bc I wrote “…if life gets a lot worse for you” cause that does nottt sound right at all and I apologize for writing that)

This is the only thing I'm going to say about the election until it's over:

Anyone who did not vote for Harris or who attempted to dissuade people from voting for Harris, you are indirectly responsible for whatever shit Donald Trump does if he gets elected. That blood is primarily on his hands, yes. But it is also on yours. I hope you can live with that because I sure as hell wouldn't be able to.

this also may be too much for tumblr.com political irrationalities, but do people actually believe in a mythical "perfect" politician that exists out there that we just haven't found yet and once we find them then voting will be okay again

[drev-the-procrastinator]

Like. ok

ok 15 12s from the juries and zero (0!!!!!) 12s from the public taking the win from 2 12s from the juries and 18 12s from the public. ok. ok. sure

[darkwood-sleddog]

once again i am asking tumblr to hold public polls for users to vote on potential changes. imagine if you were the 'respect our users opinion website'. like that could be us but apparently not.

This is spot on about how leftists sound tbh. No wonder why they get on my nerves with their bullshit

I wanted to share the tattoo I did yesterday!!

I really enjoyed the process🥹🫶 My “normal” art is generally a lot more detailed and time-consuming than these fanarts…something I genuinely LOVE is just spending lots of time focusing on the small details & forgetting everything else.

I’m overall really happy with how this turned out, I’ve been practicing A LOT😳 but even so, pork skin isn’t the same as a living, breathing human. I think this design might have been a BIT too complicated to be my first one but oh well…I learned a lot and pushing myself off the deep end is always how I learn best😆😆😤🙏

Survivor AU

Hey y’all my brain worked with me for once today and made up an AU that I actually think would be hilarious.

Okay, picture it… superheroes… but they get put on the equivalent of a magical survivor.

Im talking about the reality tv show where a bunch of people get put on an island to win a million dollars, I may not be a superfan but I’ll admit it’s pretty good, and has SO much drama.

Anyway. Take that… but now add my hyper fixation with superheroes to the mix and you get the ULTIMATE drama scene.

We have Tony Stark and Steve Rogers being those people that are needlessly petty and doing stuff like moving clothes or filling shoes with sand. Peter Parker is that one that everyone loves but isn’t considered a threat, until his interview and you learn that he knows who holds every advantage in the game, who is allied with who, somehow got his hands on some super good info by like… hiding in a tree or something and also is planning the biggest backstab of the season(which he gets away with…). Then you have ppl like Clark Kent who’s actually really nice but everyone hates them/is suspicious of them and there are multiple plans to get him out. Scot lang is the guy who gets left out of the vote. Wonderwoman is the one who is like a master hunter and super good at challenges, so once the merge comes she’s unstoppable. Danny and tuck would probably be numbers, if we’re honest, but Sam would se amate the competition and be a top tier threat that never gets taken out, jazz is obviously the one that helps people through breakdowns and stuff. Bakugo is voted out early/almost wins because it’s good for his ego(kirishima proceeds to cry about it). Jon and Damian are the alliance that nobody expects but decimates the competition, then get married after the show ends. Jason is the second best hunter after Diana and also really strong, but also somehow is the one keeping the team together while simultaneously falling apart.

You see my vision.

Anyway take that and add it together with like seven different universes in the same season and a whole story with how they ended up there and why they want to win? Y’all I’d pay to see someone write that. Heck maybe I’d write it myself!
