We have to make sure Rhonda Santis is never allowed to govern anything outside of his Florida hell hole in the future. Keep that fascist goon out of the White House please.

As an American whose first chance to vote for a president was in 2016, my dream is that one day, I'll vote in an election that doesn't feel like I'm trying to fend off the literal end of the world as I know it.

Seeing a bunch of Zionists saying political violence is wrong . . . I didn’t know it was the comedy hour tonight.

I like to watch true crime content about like fucked up sadistic murder cases, cannibalism, cults etc. but then the algorithm recommends you idiotic shit like cops just publishing videos where a person on drugs was trying to resist arrest and braindead cop lovers whining about wanting to crucify these people and how you can tell they are monster sociopaths because of their facial expressions and how they were mean to a cop

If you don't vote Democrat in November, you'll regret it... IMMEDIATELY.

Retard

4channer Trans Women Please Log Off Challenge, you're making everyone uncomfortable. we get that you used 4chan pre-transition and feel community with them, but it's essentially an unhealthy echo chamber that's making your self-hatred and dysphoria worse. just because you think every other place is a hugbox doesn't mean everyone who's polite is lying and hates you.

Who could have seen that coming (Everyone. Literally everyone.)

[spidergvven]

literally cant even hold a student meeting on a college campus to talk about palestine without cops showing up to hover outside threateningly with their hands covering up their badge numbers

[stylonuridae]

seeing the understandable frustrations and difficulties regarding the 2024 election and people's reasons for one side or the other, honestly it sounds like the only good option is that biden and trump both kill themselves

[autumndragons]

[rudo-lfium]

Read this behemoth twice and have begun to systemise my notes for future reference.

In today’s day and age this should be on everybody’s desk at home.

Japan raised the national age of consent to 16 (several prefectures have had the age higher for ages now), so it's 9/11 for the worst people on the internet lol

[asllthellpoetsllsay]

i just finished reading greywaren and getting to the acknowledgements after reading the interview where she says why she changed her name to m*ggie really makes that last “thanks to ed, who knows what i am” really funny

Despair and fear are valid emotions, but we have to CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) this thing: have those reactions and emotions, observe them, let them be, ride it out, and then put them aside and get to work. I’ll be volunteering for a mailing campaign.

I can never tell which of my posts are going to explode (it is never ones I put work in) but I pray to God this one does

The past few weeks I have seen an explosion in doomerism and defeatism about Trump. Some people seem to have just decided to call the election for him for reasons that don't even make much sense

(He was almost shot and that always helps! Look at Reagan and Teddy Roosevelt! Reagan was already president and incredibly popular, and the shooting happened 2 months into his first term; Roosevelt was shot when he was campaigning in 1912....in an election he lost)

Trump has never been popular, he has never won the popular vote, and he has never had popular support. For the past 3 years, especially post Roe V. Wade, Democrats have increasingly overperformed especially in special elections. There were so many polls predicting 2022 would be a Red Wave, that turned out to be false due to faulty and biased polling. I'm not saying a Dem loss is impossible, but it is a lot less of a sure thing than the doomsayers are making it out to be

How does Trump win? Apathy. Despair. Low Turn Out. While many of the "Trump is guaranteed to win" posters I'm sure are real people who are justifiably scared, I think we underestimate just how many are people at home and abroad, who want a lower turnout, who want Trump to win.

I used to hear a joke growing up that "If voting did anything, they would make it illegal" Well considering how hard Republicans are trying to discourage voting and making it hard to do, it must do something.

Don't despair. Don't panic. Don't retreat. ACT

Spread this far and wide. Tell your friends and your family. Make clear to them what is at stake if Trump wins.

Additionally, here are two volunteer organizations that I help out with

Vote Forward - write letters to encourage turnout

Working Family's Party - an organization working to help progressives win in primaries and general elections. I particularly like working in their text bank program. Want to help in a phone bank but don't like talking on the phone? this is perfect as you send texts to encourage support and voting
