#harm trump

[captainjonnitkessler]

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

sorry for resorting to a meme about this but people are making me mad 👍

Voting is not something that you can boycott. Someone wins the election no matter what.

“B-but Biden-”

It doesn’t matter. I don’t like him either, but it doesn’t matter.

To everyone in the US: you, as an American and as (I hope) generally decent human beings, you have an obligation to elect the candidate who will do the least damage. And the United States, like it or not, possesses the largest proverbial stick, meaning it effects the rest of the world heavily.

You want to stop genocide? Start by voting so that genocides don’t happen here. I want you to look up Project 2025, the Republican plan for if they win, and tell me, honestly, that you think having that happen would be better than electing Biden again?

Grit your teeth, clench your fist, and vote blue.

it’s not bucktommy.

that’s sad.. absolutely, but that’s not why i’m- and i think a lot of us - are upset.

i’m hurt because i watched a sector of this fandom devolve into some of the most vile behaviour i’ve ever seen in fandom because some of us dared step outside of the hive mind and decide to ship a person with two people.

which then devolved into some of the most heinous personal attacks (of both fans and lou) i’ve seen in fandom ever, and i’ve been in some rough trenches.

i adore buddie. always have. always will. (they’re quite literally the reason i’m married)

but i do not know how to interact with them in fandom spaces anymore, which is why i stopped. because who am i interacting with? where do they stand on the horrific stuff that has gone on? were they the ones sending the anon hate?

bucktommy (and buddietommy) became the safe haven for a lot of us to still be able to interact with the fandom and characters we love once it got so bad, and now that it’s ended…

i can’t unsee all the shit that has gone down.

THAT is what hurts.

do usamerican leftists think that if they don’t vote the government will spontaneously collapse to make way for their socialist utopia

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.

I know you want a revolution but to have that, you have to act, you have to get your hands dirty, and you have to vote so people who openly want a mass deportation and fervently want to murder anyone who isn't white don't take control of this country.

"Voting is harm reduction" Indigenous anarchists are literally on their hands and knees begging you to stop fucking saying this but here you go. Yes a candidate is going to be chosen regardless but voting is in no way harm reduction. Like that's it. Just stop calling it that. We aren't telling you to stop voting we're telling you to stop calling it harm reduction. That's simply not what it is.

This election result has me fucked up so I'm sorry for being a bit absent today just trying to get some affairs in order so I feel less unsafe. Ily guys and I'm here to chat if you need a shoulder 💜

Friendly reminder babes you have to outlive the annoying orange guy otherwise he wins and lives longer (he made a deal with a demon)

You need to be petty and stay around okay? cause thats what trump prob wants and do you really want to give him what he wants?

american friends who live in solidly blue or solidly red states — please, please go vote today, even if it feels a little pointless.

i grew up in a swing state — in a very purple county of a large swing state, even — and so i got to come of age with this deep sense that my vote would someday Really Matter. i know that’s far from true for everyone. these days, it’s certainly no longer true for me — i’ve moved for work and now live in a very blue state. in some substantive and infuriating ways, my voice means less, now.

at the same time, this morning i got to vote on several ballot questions that will help shape my state’s education policy, support unions, and make it easier for the state to regulate and understand controlled substances without criminalizing their users. i got to vote for state and local officials. i got a cool sticker. today, in red and blue states across the country, folks are voting for the state and municipal actors who shape the character of local politics and the reality of most people’s day-to-day lives.

moreover, while my vote for Harris won’t really “count” all that much in the electoral college points allocation, it’s still a vote. it’s still momentum. it’s still a step closer to a decisive popular vote victory, which — at least in the eyes of the world, history, and my peers — still counts for something.

so, if you live in a swing state — please vote! our fate lies in your hands. the rest of us need you to turn out and carry us.

but if you don’t — please vote, too, and keep voting all the way down your ballot. you still get to shape your political reality, despite this super silly electoral system that we’re stuck with.

and besides — regardless of where you are, you get a sticker.**

(**unless you vote by mail, in which case — have a virtual sticker & my undying gratitude for your civic involvement: ⭐️)

The choice is pretty simple. There are only two options:

The woman who wants peace and a ceasefire or-

The guy who is best friends with Putin and Netanyahu that wants to glass Gaza.

That's it. That's the choice.

VOTE.

[inky-quilled-dragon]

This is your reminder that a whole lot of Palestinian and Arab folks have endorsed Harris. Seriously, i won’t try to paraphrase their words because i am white as toilet paper and it is not my place, but it might be worth a google.
