#i'm assuming 'c.p.' above means cerebral palsy - that's one overloaded initialism you really want to just write out whole phrases for imo

The question at stake in this election is not "are we living under a repressive, unequivocally evil imperial state in the throes of its devolution?". The answer to that one is obviously yes, and that cannot and will not be changed or improved by any electoral strategy (including not voting), certainly not within one electoral cycle.

The question is "does the bomb we're all sitting atop go off this year and make everything a fuck-ton worse for everyone on the planet but the richest, whitest, most Christian-nationalist motherfuckers?".

If you don't care about making the answer to that one "no" if the cost is sullying a little of your moral purity, I don't know what to say to you.

if i see one more article, post, or news anchor talking about how joe biden is old, i'm putting my fist through a window. i feel like i've gone through the fucking looking glass.

this is project 2025, trump's plan for what he'll do if elected. whatever you think is in there, it's worse. watch a breakdown of the highlights here. this man wants to unravel the fabric of our democracy for good - this all aside from his vitriolic hatred of poc, his determination to start ww3, and the fact that he can't string a sentence together without telling outrageous and easily verifiable lies. his administration will start their crusade to exterminate trans people on day one, and they won't stop there.

do not talk to me about how joe biden is old, as if that could ever matter to me more than my life or the lives of my friends and family. my little sister is 14, she's trans, and i don't know what to tell her when we talk about politics, because one of these people wants her dead and the other one is old and some of you are still acting like those problems are equals.

i can't fucking stand this. i'm not hearing it this time, we are not repeating 2016. refusing to vote is not an act of protest, it is an act of complacency, and our most vulnerable will suffer for your negligence. vote like your life depends on it, because for some of us, it really fucking does.
