Ignore the people/bots on.here that are trying to get you not to vote for biden. Theyll write you essays about all the things biden has done/will do and then try and convince you to waste your vote on a third party like in 2016.
Conviniently they leave out the fact trump and the republicans have done worst and will worsen things if elected again
REMEMBER republicans are very openly stating they want to kneecap democracy if trump gets elected. There is not one complainy you can lodge against biden which doesnr apply to trump.twice over
You wont get another chance vote if republicans get their way
Vote blue
#2024 elections#biden#trump#vote blue#vote biden#vote biden even tho hes a useless senile old man#vote biden because the alternative is literally the end of democracy#dont waste your vote

Fun fact: If you look at current polls that include 3rd party options, all but 2 states (out of 18 currently reported) could flip if the RFK voters opted to support either major party instead.
Kennedy, the only 3rd party option most people are even aware of, has been consistently polling at about 5%. He is not going to win the election. Voting for him is not going to change the system.
Do not waste your vote.
I'm not doing the morals debate here. I'm telling you that your protest vote will not do anything. A faceless or uncast ballot does not carry any message. Message your representatives instead and support the lesser evil that has a chance at winning.
Also whether you want to call it psy-op or election interference or just bots, and whether they're russian or from literally any other country with a vetted interest in a specific outcome (that's all of them btw): Any social media has some percentage of them. "AI" tools have made them easier than ever to implement. Do not form your opinion on someone's random post. If you have genuine reason to believe you are dealing with a bot, report it. If the bot is aimed to disrupt an election, double report it. Do your own research, stay aware of media bias, and use reputable sources. These things should inform your vote. Never ever rely on someone's opinion online, chatbot or not.
Because in the end, you can't know anyone's intention.
I could be a bot, for all you know. What will you do?
For people who don't remember the 2016 Tumblr was full of Russian trolls who posed as progressive social justice blogs and urged young liberals to throw their vote away on a third party. You can read more about it here :https://www.wired.com/story/tumblr-russia-trolls-propaganda/ This camapign was extraiordinary succesful and third party voters were a key reason why Trump one( if you look at the electoral results you will see that the race was so close that if the third party votes had gone to Hillary she would have easily buried Trump) Sadly we didn't know that this was a orchestred camapign until Tumblr released the data itself and told us who the blogs were. Those were not simple spam blogs. They were pros. They knew how to talk to people, they made real posts and interacted. They tried this in 2020 but we were wary because the memories were still fresh But now thy are trying again. I just found this guy who is running the EXACT same play book as in 2016. Pretending to be a person of color , poting progresive posts while at the same time urigng everyoe to vote third party. As soon as I called him out he immedately blocked me beause he knew I outed him. So now i's up to you guys. Don't let Trump supporting Russian trolls run their psy ops here. Report en masse and get them now instead of waiting for months for tumblr to tell us they worked for Trump REPORT THIS RUSSIAN TROLL NOW. DON'T LET THEM PULL THEIR GAMES AGAIN: https://www.tumblr.com/decolonize-the-left
#us elections#politics#kamala harris#political#ramble#go vote#vote blue#yeah its another one of these because the message still isnt getting through to people apparently#your electoral system is fucked go vote for the party that might change it#i kept the post as bipartisan as i could but I will not do the same in the tags#these bots do work in both directions tho#because some countries benefit more from democrats and some more from republicans#you think the phishing attack on the Republican Party just coincidentally happened three months before the election?#the only reason no one is doing that to kennedy is because a) he has no chance of winning and b) hes doing it himself already#writing this as i sit next to my mail in ballot for a regional election thats about to be overrun with nazis#gonna reuse my āthats not what i meant with 'vote blue'ā joke for that one#dont waste your vote

i dont care where you live in the usa or w/e... if you dont vote for biden you are throwing away your vote and enabling trump. because *everyone* thinks their vote doesnt matter and piddles around because of that. hell, everyone thinks 'its only me, it wont make a difference' about THOUSANDS of things, like littering, picking seashells, taking stones from rivers, etc. and in all of those situations THEYRE FUCKING WRONG. if anything unites us, its our damn ability to think we alone are the outlier despite everything indicating otherwise.
and miss me with that 'biden is just as bad/is a murderer' shit. 1) cool, and how do you plan to change things in a mr. nazi-dictator trump world? how are you ACTIVELY making a difference? 2) CHANGE IS INCREMENTAL. the reason things suck so much is because the left keeps taking slow change as 'no change' and giving up before we can gain any momentum to make big change!
if you vote in hamas or w/e to protest... you might as well throw dirt at all those suffering innocent people. you arent saving palestine that way. that is not a helpful protest. you'll only enable trump to win by throwing away your vote. it is the one bit of actual power you have, so USE IT RIGHT! stop in-fighting for one moment! look at what is possible to achieve in reality! dreams arent fulfilled overnight!
when you feel like your vote doesnt matter, remember this - you have to try anyways
#ditto rambles#HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE REMIND YOU GUYS#LEFT HAS ABYSMAL TURNOUT#IF YOU WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE THE SMALL VICTORIES WE CAN ACHIEVE#INSTEAD OF THROWING THE GAME WHEN YOU CANT HAVE THD BIG CHANGE RIGHT OFF THE BAT#WE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO START EVENING THR PLAYING FEILD#THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT IS SET UP TO WORK AGAINST US RIGHT NOW#BUT YOUR NOT HELPING IF YOU DO NOTHING OR THROW YOUR VOTE!#YES BIDEN FUCKING SUCKS YES THE PRESIDENTS NEVER DO ENOUGH#BUT IT CAN AND WILL GET WORSE IF YOU DONT RECOGNIZE THE LIMITATIONS BEFORE US#THERE IS *NO WORLD* WHERE TRUMP IS BETTER THAN BIDEN#IF YOU WASTE YOUR VOTE A PRESIDENT WILL STILL GET ELECTED!!!!#MAKE SURE ITS THE RIGHT ONE!!@!#WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTANZ????#DO YOU REALLY THINK WASTING YOUR ONE BIT OF REAL POWER HELPS PALISTINE AT ALL?????#YES THINGS SUCK WE ALL KNOW THAT#BUT YOU DONT GET THE BIG WIN WITHOUT TAKING WHAT SMALL VICTORIES YOU CAN!!!!#UNLESS YOU ARE ACTIVELY FIRE BOMBING WALMARTS AND STAGING PROTESTS#YOU DONT GET TO CLAIM VOTING IS USELESS!!!#BECAUSE IF THAT WAS TRUE THEN THEY WOULDN'T BE TRYING TO STOP US FROM VOTING#AND CONSIDER THIS - IF THE WIN IS TOO BIG TO DENY *THEY CANT FUCKING DENY IT* LIKE WITH CLINTON#THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE SUCKD ASS BUT WE DO ACTUALLY CONRTOL AND OUTNUMBER IT#ITS NEVER JUST YOU!!!! *NEVER*!!!!!!!#WE ARE NEVER ALONE IN OUR DECISIONS!!!!#SO USE THAT DAMN POWER!!!!#OUR VOICES CAN BE HEARD IF WE WORK TOGETHER FOR ONCE!!!!!!

My mom called me when she found out about the Trump assassination attempt and before hanging up the call she asked me to just...please be more careful. Proposed that maybe I should chill out with the pride pins and all, considering the political environment at the moment, just with how things are, ya know? But I can't. Not now. Shit is so fucked.
#fae irl#queer#us politics#donald trump#i told my aunt about it because id also spammed the family chat about the situation#about the incident#and she told me to stay safe but that she understands why i cant stop#times are grim and shit is fucked#stay safe stay alive and for fucks sake vote if you can#and fucking vote blue#dont go being all dewy eyed and optimistic thinking its okay to vote third party this time around because its a waste of a vote#when things are already dire#in an idea world you could you vote with your heart but were not living in that world#choose your fucking evil cause realistically thats all the choice you have#im sorry#i wish things were different#i wish things were better#i wish things were easier#but theyre not

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for voting third-party. I know a lot of folks have said third-party votes are wasted, but with the way things are going, I'll probably vote third-party, too, and it's nice to know there are other people out there who care more about following their beliefs than standing by a broken system.
Maybe this will be the election people realize it's not a waste.
(Also, I'm sorry folks are being nasty in your inbox. Hope things get better soon. On all counts.)
<3 <3 <3
Thank you for also voting third party!! I used to do it more back when I first started voting because I actually believed in the democratic process, until I was disillusioned by a rigged system and started voting blue because it felt like I had no choice.
Every year I voted blue I had to convince myself "this is fine. This is better than the other guy" even though I knew their warmongering policies and how they leaned too close to the center for comfort. Voting Clinton and Biden last couple cycles felt like I had to, because I was able to wear the blinders long enough to gaslight myself into thinking I actually wanted them as my president. Because I had to or else I'd "waste my vote"
I refuse to do that anymore. Now I realize I'd waste my vote by giving it to someone who would rather see us dead than lose their money and power. I'd waste my vote giving it to a broken system.
The people shaming everyone to vote blue act like I'm voting for Trump by default if I don't vote Biden, and look i followed the same rhetoric in 2020. I'm sure if you go back in my posts I said the same thing.
But the line was crossed somewhere around the minute I learned my money funded the deaths of thousands, and always has. The line was crossed when I learned the president I called into power cares more about his military pet project than life. The line was crossed when I realized Biden is old enough to remember when Palestine was it's own free nation but refuses to, because he follows the age old American tactic of "This land is my land, actually, not yours"
So yeah I'm done with feeding into a system like that.
And here's the thing about this newest generation of voters: they are soooo powerful and they are so much braver than I was at their age. They know that meaningful movement and cooperation can overtake a corrupted system. The Dems and Republicans are both terrified of them because they know they're not as easy to indoctrinate into their philosophy.
I genuinely believe that if we can use the millions and millions of people who voice support for Palestine to also put their vote towards someone else, like Claudia in the socialist party who I've been keeping an eye on or the representatives that have actually backed up calls for ceasefire, like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and I'm proud to say my own rep, who are trying to move the dem party to a place that actually represents me.
If millions back a third party candidate, that says something. It says we aren't going to fall into the traps laid by the generations before us. It's says we are going to fight for what we believe in.
Revolution does not happen in a year or two. It takes a lifetime. And if there's anything that I've learned from Palestinians it's that the cause for a truly free world is worth fighting for no matter how many decades it takes.
#ive made my stance on this very clear and frankly i dont want to waste anymore time on white men in power when i could be uplifiting#palestinians voices and supporting change#so we can have a free palestine in my life time#so im going to block everyone who comes to my inbox/comments trying to shame me into voting for biden#you may have your eyes and hearts firmly closed but i refuse to#joe biden#free palestine#genocide joe

paralive has been kind of pissing me off recently but let me not linger on that lmfao i will muscle through this for visty lore
#the way the groups have been set up with each other is looking so terrible for the overall story#i just want some more plot and worldbuilding but if bae and cozmez keep winning weāre going to get nothing but more plotless fillers#iām acually so sick of them winning everything. some of us have REAL PROBLEMS. what about alter trigger#the way akanyatsura and 1nm8 have the capacity to drive the story with their connection to alter trigger. and they might not even make it#i love bae but iām kind of getting sick of the way paralive is written and the voting system that ruins everything#also like šš baeās storyline i believe is Over. we dont need to touch that anymore#and cozmez have been through enough. just let them be happy dear god#we dont even know anything about iori yet despite the role heās played in other pplās character arcs. INSANE#he was there for hajunās phantometal erosion and kanataās hallucination of nayuta BE SERIOUS#he has access to information that creates plot movement + heās in a good position as the head of the suiseki group#to go bar for bar with alter trigger given his resources and also his wide reach#also the stakes are high for both akyr and 1nm8 to reach / take down alter trigger#it just makes for an exciting story. u dont even need to take Creative Writing 101 to know this#iām just getting so mad thinking about it. iām allowed to be angry because i love these characters & the premise#and i hate seeing it go to waste#not to mention the connection yeon conglomerate had with alter trigger themselves? what happened to that#getting dongha an arc and also simultaneously address yeon companyās unethical / dubious investments? HELLO#IS ANYONE LISTENING#iām not delusional i know visty will very likely not make it through that first round. but 1nm8 winning will be for nothing#if we get the same two groups winning again#akyr and gokuluck. my life is in your hands#iām just irritated and today was a bad day and i just need to not take things so seriously maybe#i love visty#i hope yohei had a good day today#ro talks

Americans always complain about the government but I don't see them getting off their lazy fucking asses and voting, or trying to overthrow it.
Like be the change you want to see in the world or shut up and pay your taxes.
#i have too many friends who complain about the politics of texas but who arent even registered to vote#dont speak#you have accepted your place and complaining about it is a waste of time#yours and mine

i think a psa should go out that advises against asking americans abroad about the election. like. iām here. do you really think i want to talk about us poltics? do you, random person i just met?
#i have a few touchy political issues i could bring up about your country#but i dont#because i was raised right ffs#i mean i get that people talk about politics more openly here but even so ive never seen someone here meet one of their countrymen#and immediately ask what party theyāre a part of#went to a talk by an INCREDIBLE WORLD FAMOUS philosopher who happened to be american#and some idiot wasted their question asking how they were planning to vote#what the fuck my guy#and the look they got on their face they literally put their face in their hand#like same what a fucking idiotic question#personal

I believe Kamala- despite every word she has ever spoken on the matters- is actually deeply pro-Palestine, pro-trans & overall a progressive hero, because I understand that when democrats say repugnant reactionary things while campaigning they are actually lying! which is good & normal for so-called democratic elections!!!!! if you listen to the gnomes who live inside my walls you'll understand her real values, which she'll totally pinky promise act upon once you reward her lies & elect her! you dumb third party voters would understand this if u payed attention in civics class š

LUNACY!!!#santa clause is more real than a promise out of the mouth of a democrat i am BEGGING liberals to understand (and give a shit about) this#sorry i guess unlike the 'injustice sensitivity' many american neurospicies love using as a shield for when they do racist things i just#have boring I Dont Like Being Lied To autism which uh is preventing me from (well a lot!) getting on the imperialism train that many#of you are twisting yourselves into pretzels of cognitive dissonance & ahistorical nonsense in order to cope with!#vote if you want idgaf but stop posting electoral cope!!! stop seeking absolution for the crimes youre cosigning!! you cant have it all!!!!#i'll see you in another 4 years when nothing has been done about climate catastrophe or genocide or lgbtq rights or reproductive rights#bc if- and its still a huge if- kamala wins i know for FACT the usual suspects are already cooking up excuses as to why she cant follow thr#through on any of the crumbs of progressive policy she claims to stand by. its already the senates or SC fault right š#ugh anyway now im just going down the 'every easily identifiable lie of the dems that I'M somehow the bad guy for noticing' rabbit hole#and that leads to nowhere but madness and an afternoon wasted š¤

It's not just America y'all are voting for.
If you want change, if you're queer, if you care about trans people, if you care about POC people, if you care about disability, fucking vote Biden. Yes, he sucks sometimes, but Trump is a convicted criminal and wants to dismantle basically everything good in America.
This will ripple internationally. Trump getting into office will create an international ripple effect that WON'T be good for marginalised communities.
Sincerely,
A terrified kiwi.
Look.
I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.
People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".
These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.
If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.
#america#trump#biden#vote#vote biden#please for the love of god dont waste your votes on a third party.#american politics is so fucked it's insane

biden (and by extension harris) never fuckin had my vote anyway. ive spent the last 2 and a half years planning to vote for a specific third party candidate, nothing changed for me really when i decided i was going to not register to vote for safety reasons. harris didn't "lose" my vote, she never had it in the first place because i think democratic policy sucks and we should toss them out of the white house too.
#jasmine sherman was my candidate of choice#registering to vote makes you address public ive gone no contact with my family and i think thats how they keep finding me#so im staying unregistered til i get a legal name change#if a single marginalized person prioritizing their safety was gonna cost harris the election then dem voters failed in ways i cant express#so im not interested in 'appeals' to me to vote. i need to *not be found* and i wouldn't vote for harris if i was registered#so dont waste my time and yours here

Section 1557 is the law that guarantees trans protections in the us. Saying she supports that law is not ānot giving a shit about trans rights lolā just because you donāt know to what law she is referring.
Lovely how libs has spent a year going "yeah well Harris is gonna back and fund a genocide but at least she will stand by trans people in the US" just for her to come out as not giving a shit about trans rights lol
#my family is middle eastern and quite simply the us has been bombing us for nearly 80 years#it is always demonstrably more catastrophic under republican presidents#and we lose all aid and medical support funding#you are not going to change the democratic party by refusing to vote#the reason the republican party has gotten so radical is because their radicals VOTE#the difference in my family has always been 5 dead cousins and the option for student visas vs 30 dead cousins and wasting diseases#that is the blood on the ground at the end of the day. that is what lesser of two evils is#āwell i am radically opposed to that and committed to stopping ALL bloodshedāāperson whose idea of radical action inaction#and watching left-leaning americans every election cycle go āim going to make the party agree with me by withholding my voteā#and then each successive cycle watching the party move further center because people on the far left dont vote and far right do#you must understand that the metric by which you demonstrate your values is voting not inaction#the party shifts to center because people in the center are the ones voting#and furthermore why are people promoting not voting suddenly using 200K as the current death toll that is not correct#you have decided the true number isnāt emotional enough? you undercut the horrific fact of the acts by abandoning facts for impact#roe v wade was lost because of the supreme court. that is the power and purpose of that court. trump was allowed to stack it last time#which is why even under another president it worked its way up through other trump-picked courts to the one republicans had unfairly stacked#you are in fact citing a long-term devastating reprecussion of trumpās last presidency#the president cannot interfere with the court. did anyone here take civics.#and furthermore the continued economic fallout and failure to maintain affordability programs that started during the pandemic is because#republicans keep killing them in the house which they control#simply so nothing beneficial to the people passes under a different partyās president#the reason you all keep acting like presidental elections and their candidates +policies come out of nowhere is just telling on yourselves#that you arent following or participating in smaller elections in the interrim#insane to watch so many people on the left swallow the idea that voting is pointless at the same time that we have WATCHED#how radical voters voting has swung the entire conservative party deeply right of right
