#politics and this bullshit

[goldenpinof]

You don’t have to post this, but this one especially rubs me off the wrong way: https://x.com/nevieglow/status/1864838428958855396?s=46&t=-QxQRxgvl6A6N40VEbrE0A as well as others like “duh he doesn’t need to say this it’s obvious he’s joking”

sorry, i wanna answer.

between the lines of one phrase that sounded like a slap? can people be serious for a second, i'm literally begging. why do some phannies think that only Dan is being discriminated? people LIVE in those countries. and they still think dnp could go there, or to the neighbouring one. the fact that dnp can't find promoters or sponsors who are willing to risk isn't our problem. we're also not responsible for dnp's awful communication skills when it comes to addressing something. did they learn anything during ii and TBC dates? yes! was it enough to become better? not really. if some twitter phannies don't know the depth of this problem (including Dan's jokes about the 3rd world countries in 2023, mind you!), then they need to do their homework before saying some ignorant shit.

Dan could just wait and form a reply. he also could SAY that he is preparing a thorough reply about Asian countries. but he didn't do it. he decided to "no homo" as if it's funny by any means and we're expecting only clownery from them. can Dan treat all of us like people at least sometimes, without certain minorities begging and then pressing him if needed? *rhetorical question*

it's like we're hitting a wall again.

"it can mean two things at once". no, sweetie, if the person has been silent for months and LOVES to laugh everything off. and sometimes it backfires, like today. if it were for the 1st time, then sure, no big deal. but it's a pattern. so trying to understand what said minorities feel is the least people can do.

all of this doesn't erase the fact that i appreciate Dan finally explaining the situation. but he did it only because his "joke" backfired. i hope people realise that.

“My vote doesn’t matter (so I’m gonna sit it out/vote third party/put a write-in protest vote)!”

Unfriendly reminder that Al Gore only lost Florida (and subsequently the entire 2000 election) by only 537 votes. Your vote absolutely fucking matters.

If y’all really, truly don’t want Trump/Republicans back in control than you better get out and vote down the ballot, especially if you live in an even remotely purple/swing state.

The MAGA voters will absolutely get out and vote, don’t let them out-do you.

Literally begging anyone who can vote in US elections to vote, and to vote against Trump. Which means voting for Harris, not abstaining or voting third party.

My family actually did move here from an authoritarian country, where voting literally didn't matter, they literally did throw out your vote, and they literally did assassinate citizens who spoke out against them.

We would all very much like to keep living in a country where those things are not the case!

You know, the same things that Trump and his stooges have openly said they want to do. And two of the main propaganda lines for why people in the US shouldn't vote, which is a lie.

Voting matters. The parties are not the same.

And make sure to vote in down-ballot races!!!

And like. The fact that voting matters in the US is a very real reason for hope. It is something you should genuinely appreciate. We can make a difference.

And a lot of people risked their lives or even died to earn that right, and it's a right not everyone has.

The ADL tweet about Elon Musk begins with the words “this is a delicate moment.”

To any goyim reading this- understand that is a literal cry for help. The ADL is telling all of us that they are walking on eggshells here.

Do not take the rest of their tweet at face value- take it in the context the ADL is giving you. The are fully aware of the problem of right wing antisemitism, but they do not believe they can call out Elon Musk without making things worse for themselves and for all American Jews. This is in part because a good portion of the left has been trying it’s hardest to discredit the ADL and alienate American Jews for the last few decades, and the rest of the left just kinda went with it.

They are telling us straight up- we are doing our best while stuck between a rock and a hard place.

[fuck-u-maga]

Or 'I love how when I act in an abusive manner it makes the liberals cry, fuck your feelings' They are just trash people full stop.

If you didn't watch the debate, you didn't miss much, it's all the same as usual. But this was hands down the most hilarious moment.

Just a reminder for everyone in a few months who are going to thank Trump for doing “random acts of kindness” or whatever the fuck:

Donald Trump started this nonsense.

He was the one who initially wanted TikTok to be banned. He’s the one who said that it was spyware from a foreign adversary. He wanted it gone first. This is not a new argument, this is from 2020. It has been in his plans for the entire Biden administration.

Because what Trump wants is to set up a situation where he looks like the hero. Where he swoops in and solves a problem that looks sudden and garners some good favor, despite him causing the problem in the first place years ago. He knows that the modern attention span is practically zero, focused on the shiny object, so he will do something flashy to distract everyone from the massive overhauls to basic human rights he’s doing in the background. He wants to kill us while we’re not looking, so he has set up a little magic trick to keep our eyes off the real world.

Take your eyes off TikTok. If or when it comes back, do not thank Trump. Do not get so lost in scrolling that you forget the world around you, and how it is about to go belly up. Do not forget about Project 2025, or his plans to raid schools with border control agents, or his planned cabinet. Do not let one pre-planned “good” deed distract you from the fact that this administration is about to do real harm to and outright kill a lot of people. Keep your eyes on him and his administration with extreme scrutiny, because he wants you to look away.

The scariest part about Trump is that he’s smart. We call him stupid, but he’s not. He is incredibly clever when it comes to entertainment, and will play any role if it gets him where he wants to be, and he plays them incredibly well. If we do not scrutinize his every move as some sort of act, we give him more space to do things than he ever deserves to have, and that space will be used to do incredibly cruel things, and the blame will not only be on him, but us for giving him the opportunity.

So yeah. Don’t go thanking Trump for any of this shit. He’s playing a long game and he’s playing a role that he knows you will like. Do not forget.

Friendly reminder that sexualizing/blorbofying Luigi Mangione and your support for him being a quirky little trending meme is exactly why 1. he's been almost forgotten about when any other time his actions would've had far more rippling consequences, 2. why nothing will ever get done in this fucking ass country, much less the positive-- if violent-- change we need, and 3. goes to show the sheer imbecility of the "lol be gay do crimes" demographic.

Where was your support for Briana Boston, who was falsely arrested just for quoting him? Oh, right, she's not a conventionally attractive white man for you to turn into your next Tumblr sexyman.

[notlemoncello]

Oh yeah he did do the crimes 100% but we actually won’t sentence him to anything because uhhhhhhhhhh prebident

[cacodaemonia]

I wish everyone in the US who didn't vote in the election a very fuck you

What is the REAL reason they want to get rid of social security?
