It's a hard pill to swallow, but more prominent #RepublicansForHarris endorsed #KamalaHarris and call Trump a #threat. Also #Trump casually #admitted that he #lost the 2020 #election!

In this #article I speak about how not all #conservatives are #MAGA

me when I'm in an "intentionally & willfully misrepresent an argument" competition & my opponent is a liberal who thinks Biden & Trump are the only two politicians in the US

#anyways if the Democratic party refuses to primary Biden then its obvious that they have absolutely no intention of winning #I will not vote for the man who is actively arming a genocidal colonial state.#Biden is not only letting a holocaust happen under his watch. He is actively encouraging it.#I refuse to vote for him & anyone with even half a heart will too.#palestine #israel #us politics #president biden #joe biden

Walz stopping his own campaign speech because he saw someone collapse is pretty cool.

#ofc im watching the speech(es) im still a political activist and election season is b u s y #walz is a great pick for vp.#i cannot fathom how SENSIBLE the democrats are being this election??#normally at least half of what i have to do is damage control for their stupid. stupid decisions #but they really are making decent decisions this time.

far be it from me to suggest a diplomatic marriage but what if rhaenyra and alicent marry each other? either it ends the war or it doesn't but if not then at least they'd get to kiss each other on the mouth, right?

#dragon house #yes they'd have to kill some men and find their kids other jobs but like... they could do that too.#i mean IDEALLY the people rise up and install a democratic system of government but i'm aware that this is a prequel #to a series with the word “thrones” in the title so...#i apologise if they're related to each other i honestly can't remember at this point and anyway that wouldn't stop them would it?#don't spoiler me i'm only about halfway through s2. unless either of these scenarios happens in which case YAY #i had to google the spelling as OH MY GOD WHERE DO YOU GET THESE NAMES MR GEORGE ARE-ARE?#DID YOU STICK YOUR HAND IN A FUCKING BAG OF SCRABBLE TILES OR SOMETHING #FROM WHICH YOU HAD ALREADY REMOVED HALF OF THE CONSONANTS

Reminder to talk about palestine and congo and sudan not just online if you're not already doing that ! having face to face conversations about important events and topics in your daily interactions is very important. you don't know if the person in front of you knows what you know even if they're pro palestine and are watching the news and keeping up online, and so many people still don't know about congo or much about it and what to do to help. and a lot of people are still confused on what is going on in sudan and how did it start and why and how to help even tho they support the Sudanese people whole heartedly. so talk to the people that are around you so they can go and look more into it and they can learn from you. and don't underestimate your one person power because people change of course not all of them and sometimes you will get weird reactions ( and I encourage you if those people refuse to change if you can cut them off your life ) but don't let that discourage you because I myself have changed minds of so many people that are even double my age as a teen and now as a 22 year old and it honestly surprises me sometimes that they actually change and start asking me questions and recommendations to where to read and learn. Keep talking both online and face to face !

whoever wrote that anonymous gift fic for you is my idol i want to kiss their brain!

You and me BOTH!! For anyone that has not read this fic yet, please please PLEASE, I urge you to read it. Scotty and Josh training Daniel for double penetration. It's the hottest thing I've ever read — and the subtlety and nuance in characterization... insane. And I'm not saying this bc it was a bday gift to me and I'm biased.

I am a freelance freethought freerange chicken party.

I beg you all to read Climb your spine on ao3 dot com.

Summary: Daniel’s fucked. He should have figured out a way to cut either Scotty or Josh loose an hour ago, so he could fool around with the other one. But he waited too long, indecisive, and now it’s too late. Daniel’s family’s all out, so they have the whole house to themselves, but the three of them are squeezed onto one couch, close but not touching. The only light in the room is coming from the television, paused on the credits of the dumb action movie they finished an hour ago, washing them in grayscale. And in the semi-darkness, for some reason Scotty is telling them about this porn he watched where— “No way,” Josh says, chuckling. “Like, people don’t really do that.”

#ask #seriously I'm not joking read this fic. read it.#this is no longer a democratic republic. this is a tyranny and I'm demanding u. anyone that doesn't read it will start coughing in 3 days..#(i'm only half kidding)

"If enough of us vote third party for president, we could actually GET somewhere with our policy goals!"

Baby girl you can't even get a majority of third party/independents in a single state legislature. In the past 30 years there have been seven independent/third party state governors, and of those, only three were genuinely independent. The rest either got elected as a R/D and switched mid-term when they alienated themselves from their state party, got elected as I and then switched to R/D during their terms (with some of them having served the R/D parties before), or served as proxy candidates with heavy backing and support from one of the major two parties. Even VERMONT, a relative stronghold for independent/third party candidates -- the place that brought you Bernie Sanders -- doesn't have a majority of third party candidates. And when I call them a stronghold, I mean they are the only state (I know of) that consistently elects (less than a handful of) Independent candidates to the state legislature; the place is still dominated by Ds and Rs.

"The highest power in the land can't actually be voted on so there's no reason to vote for the democrats"

Hey princess here are some high school civics question for you: How are Supreme Court judges nominated? :) By what process are they appointed? Who starts that process? :) Why is the Supreme Court considered reflective of who has won the presidency? :)

#the reason you 'cant get anywhere' with your policies is bc youre not the political strategists you think you are #some of you barely know how your own government functions and it fucking shows #and it would be one thing if i looked in ur bios and u were like. 15 or smthg.#but 30?!?!?! you're 30 yrs old and you dont understand that the rsn rvw was overturned under biden is bc trump got his foot in the door???#youre 30 and youll rant abt the long lasting effects of reagan's presidential policies but you cant fathom trump might have left #a similarly long-lasting legacy??#youre 30 and you think the echo chamber you put yourself in on the internet is proof that clrly a vast majority of ppl agree w u #and theres no need to play politics when the democrats couls just wave their wands and fix everything if they werent so evil #despite the fact that both of the ladt two elections about half the population was voting for trump???#the tight margins btwn repub and democrat in congress shld tell you that #you are 30 and dont understand what strategic voting is?#youre 30 and you dont understand the difference between state laws and federal laws #youre 30 and youre upset that joe biden is a 'fascist dictator' but not in the way that gives you everything you want?#youre 30 and youre acting like biden and the dems operate in a vacuum without interference feom political enemies and #moneyed interests that have thrown up lawsuits and obstructionist tactics and misinformation #everytime the try to do something good?#youre 30 and you think palestine will be saved if joe's not in office when the only other viable candidate in the running #was cozy with netanyahu and advocated 'finishing the job' re:palestine and moved the embassy to jerusalem #in a clr fuck you to any palestinian feelings?#youre 30??? youre 30 and you never outgrew the 'mommy and daddy made me mad so I'm gonna smoke to get back at them' mentality???

We, as a queer community, really need to get better at teaching our history to our youngest members. Because you cannot go forward without knowing where you have been, because you cannot know what you have if you don't know what it cost, and because I never want to see another damn fic where a character who lived through the 80s and 90s in the military acts like Don't Ask, Don't Tell was some cruel oppressive assault on their rights that they hate and resent their superiors for.

#yes this is an arson murder and jaywalking joke but it really is genuinely distracting #for those who don't know: DADT was a -protection-#it did not -suddenly- make queer folk unwelcome in the military #queer folk were ALREADY not welcome in the military #and in fact we were so unwelcome that it was official policy to hunt us down and drum us out #DADT said 'you're still unwelcome obviously but only if you force the issue'#'we'll look the other way if you're discreet'#like yes that's still shitty and that's why we celebrated when it was repealed #but only because it -also- came with the repeal of the -underlying policy-#many queer folk were certainly upset that it didn't go far enough but no one with half a brain #thought it was an -attack- on us. it was the exact opposite #a halfway gesture of allyship from a democratic party that couldn't get anything better past the congressional GOP #so now you know.#go forth and write Carol Danvers with greater period accuracy.

people who say “the democrats should just focus on economics/policy” *glares at every centrist in my life who’s upset at the Democrats for being too “woke” and “allowing” Republicans to win* need to realize that statistically a lot of Dem policies are liked by about 2/3 of the country. Universal healthcare, free college, abortion, and helping undocumented immigrants gain citizenship for a few examples are supported by the majority of Americans. A refusal to vote blue is not about policy at all. Never has been.

it's the raaaaaaaaaacism

#anonymous #ask #politics for ts #i mean yeah #democratic economic policies are genuinely popular #because they -- zomgz -- help people #but for half this country that is not acceptable #because they might also help people of color #or redress historical racial injustice #or jfc even ACKNOWLEDGE it #and that is a bridge too far #and so we are stuck with this #*sigh*

#Woha... Alright read the chapter 🫡#It's just. I get where Fukuchi is coming from and I feel like after rereading it the whole thing was a little more clear but...#Did it *really* have to be so complicated. Like dude did it **really** have to be so complicated.#Maybe it had to idk. After all I'm always the first to say that a complex reality can't be reduced to simple axioms–#and that semplifications never bring anything good.#But at the same time was there REALLY no other way #Couldn't you promote your ideas diplomatically instead. Couldn't you become a democratic activist or politician.#Couldn't you write a book‚ person named OUCHI FUKUCHI #Also couldn't you? Talk about it with someone before executing your crazy plan so that anyone else might have pointed to you how crazy it i #But I suppose the whole central theme of this arc ultimately was “people who try to do everything by their own are destined to fall”#And to an extent it does still feel kinda self-contradictory of a plan. Like ahah my plan included not to make anyone suffer!!!#[turns half world population into a vampire]#Like c'mon? Violations of human rights can happen even without killing people dude #(Also Akutagawa)#(Like I get it he's only one (1) person. But he's also the only (only) person for me so I can't bring myself to ignore him y'know)#Mmmmmhhhhhh that's of the main things ig. I YELLED when they brought up Max Weber and the what-is-a-state question #That's like. One of the main questions my whole life studies centers on.#The adrenaline that gave me to see it mentioned in my current hyperfixation ahfjvafjhcvlawsvfblwhkv #This chapter was just so so political theories packed I felt like I was just still studying lol.#I feel like this was a true “get why bsd is labelled as seinen”.#You just can't do this kind of in-depth political theory discussion in shonen manga ig #What else. Still patiently waiting for ss/kk 😔#random rambles

I'm serious if I had to see yall dismiss criticism of the US involvement in bombings in the middle east as "misinfo" because the information was accurate but it was spread by a Russian based source that didn't mention Russia had a hand in them as well, I better not see you actually doing misinfo!

#cipher talk #Half my problem with vote blue posts on here is you either spread misinfo or are absolutely DOGSHIT at persuading people #By insulting and belittling the people you want to convince #You guys seem to think negging works if it's politics instead of a shitty bar #Or those 'if you dint reblog you're a bad person' posts work for your thing #Genuinely there are times when I want to spread info about an actual good thing democrats did but you can't stop yourselves #Please let wins speak for themselves and don't insult the people you're trying to do outreach with #Volunteer to help people in your local community vote. Organize free ride shares and childcare. Please.#It's so much more useful than being a prat online
