#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.

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.

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.

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.

[thawragiya]

“Things will be worse for the palestinians now!” argument liberals are parroting like a mantra up until this point either mean that they genuinely haven't been paying attention, and so they don't know about the countless massacres and graphic images that have been coming out of Gaza daily for the past year. Or they do know. But they truly believe that palestinians should be able to take such events as long as they don't exceed that imaginary line in the sand that they've carved from the comfort of their homes, that Trump is definitely going to cross. And I really can't decide which is worse.

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: ⭐️)

[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.

god I hate how brainless trump supporters are. There's signs all over the county I live in saying "Trump low prices, Kamala high prices" and there's this old lady who's a facebook friend (she helped me with a stray kitten some years back) posting about "no more money for wars, vote trump" "lower taxes, vote trump" "stop giving our tax dollars to foreign countries, vote trump" Like excusez-moi, he wants to fund wars, he wanted to fund russia's war on ukraine, he slashed taxes for the rich and now the working class has a heavier load.

Also what's their fucking obsession with deregulation? Sure let's turn america into a capitalist hellscape, what could go wrong!? The triangle shirt waist factory? Let's do that again, new executive order: Bosses can lock their employees in the buildings and no more emergency exits. OSHA? Scrap it too, everyone gets to get sliced in half or cooked alive in the factories. Let's send children back into the coal mines so they can all die of black lung. The endless food recalls? Who cares! The ""pro-life"" nimrods don't believe in quality of life

I know you're joking, but a 19 year old girl just died brutally in a walk-in oven at a walmart (found by her own mother), so the idea that regulations could get any worse is like so sickening since the the US is strict, but not even as strict as we should be.

Secondly, its because trump supporters (not necessarily gen Republicans, mind you) are not voting for him because of any specific policy they legitimately care about, they vote for him because of what he represents morally and ethically. They see themselves in all his disturbing rambles that just boil down to racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and greed. so much greed that they too think will somehow trickle down to them, that they deserve it too. they aren't educated individuals in any way, they aren't moral and good people, but it doesn't matter because trump just feeds off his followers stupidity and fear/aggression towards things to get them to do his bidding.
