[geezerwench]

Women are going to send a loud and clear message to donald trump next Tuesday, November 5th, whether he likes it or not.

[brothersonahotelbed]

you guys with your cool liberal parents will never understand what us folks who live at home with our catholic conservative parents are gonna have to go through for the next several months

Now while we've done GREAT with Early and Mail In Voting; I'd like to talk to the men in my audience.

Every though we're all on the same page I need us all to understand something; especailly if you happen to be a MAGA MALE that follows me.

This picture basically sums up what I'm about to say:

IF Trump wins and we get Vance (Because based on what happened Monday, it's obvious he will NOT last four years), Vance will no DOUBT pass a Nationwide Abortion Ban and he's also talked about DEFUNDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD. Now assuming he does all that and what the picture says above.......I'm sure we all enjoy using Sex Toys, Condoms and having our own versions of Sex and the City. Should Trump/Vance win? Say goodbye to having Recreational Sex/Oral Sex/Using Contraceptives and Sex Toys and even WATCHING PORN.

The Republicans want a Christian Theocracy where we all live a Conservative Ronald Reagan bullshit society where we all wait until Marriage to have Sex or risk having a baby since basically the restraints will be banned and IF that happens; you're gonna find VERY LITTLE if ANY women will want to have sex anymore. ESPECIALLY if there's NO WAY to prevent us from being pregnant if we don't want too. And I know Trump and Vance said they're gonna delegate the responsibility of women's health to RFK Jr but....NO. I'll talk about that tomorrow. But anyways.....

The ONLY solution to avoid this Gilead/Handsmaids Tale fuckery nightmare is to V-O-T-E BLUE DOWN THE FREAKING TICKET!!!! Here is the link below to register to vote along with the deadlines varying by state! Also, your own vote isn’t enough! Get as many people as you can to vote for Kamala be it your friends, cousins, parents, grandparents, old friends from high school and college, coworkers, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives, stepchildren (if they’re 18 and over) and the list goes on and on but every vote counts! ALSO PLEASE check your registration DAILY because MAGA WILL purge your voter registration!!!

And early voting has started! And if you don’t wanna vote on November 5th, Early Voting is another option! Like I said get as many people as you know and try early voting that way you can avoid MAGA fuckery on November 5th! Down below is a list of dates by state:

And Mail in Ballots are ANOTHER option I highly recommend!! And like I said get as many people as you can to take advantage of this option! BUT if you decide to go with Mail In/Absentee Ballots; PLEASE mail your ballots at the ACTUAL USPS office!! That way MAGAts won't fuck with it.

And if you’re an American who lives overseas; PLEASE use the option of voting overseas since I know every country other than North Korea, Russia and China do NOT want to see Trump’s stinky ass back in the Oval Office! Here’s a link below:

So in short; the moral of this post?

Vote Blue down the ticket or your Girlfriend will be your hand and the bottle of lotion on your desk.

I need Chappell Roan to use critical thinking and be able to handle valid criticism especially from queer POC

[auroraborus]

I'm getting so fucking annoyed with these takes that are like "look, I know joe bidet is doing Genocide, but he said happy pride!!"

(Also it's really telling that this person thinks Biden supports a ceasefire. Like oh really? I'm sure he's been trying his absolute best to use his leverage to bring about peace... Wait no... He's been parroting racist lies for Israel and giving them endless weapons...)

(there's so much I could say here but fr, has he actually done any of that shit???)

[unintentional-sad-wizard]

I need everyone to remember that disagreeing with how Biden handled one thing doesn’t mean he’s as bad as Trump. Yes, Biden has done shit that I don’t like. Yes, there are areas in which he hasn’t done enough good, or he’s done things that are actively bad. Trump will also do a lot of bad, and definitely won’t do as much good. Choosing not to vote for Biden is not going to “make a point”. With the way this system works, not voting for Biden is effectively the same as voting for Trump. People are acting like there’s some sort of secret third option that they’ll unlock if they convince enough people not to vote. That’s not how it fucking works. Stop saying that you don’t want to be complicit in the bad shit Biden does. If you do not vote for him, you are complicit in the bad shit Trump will do if he wins. There is no way to remove yourself from the equation.

U.S. Americans: Vote Locally. Do it.

There seems to be a common misconception that the presidential election is the most important one not just for the USA, but for the world - WRONG!

Let me be clear: You should vote in the Presidential election.

Historically, young people don't vote. Even though young voter turnout has increased drastically since Trump, local voting is still largely being determined by conservative older generations.

Importantly, you should be voting locally in part because this is the largest influence over who gets nominated in the Primary and how your opinion is vocalized on a national scale. Also:

voter restriction/suppression

climate change efforts/issues (such as pipelines getting built)

policing, law enforcement and mass incarceration

availability of affordable housing, public transport, disability relief

education - as in, whether or not PragerU gets taught in schools

If you are worried about "being selfish" for focusing smaller local issues instead of global ones (such as the current genocide), I understand. However, this is a more effective way to pressure the current President - local legislators have more voice than we do. This is also setting up a less racist, genocidal future for global politics because Presidential nominees are almost always picked from State level positions.

The Presidential election helps people to feel good/bad about an "immediate" measurable result from a single action. But the truth is that the Bidens of the US will keep being the only rival to "I want to be a dictator" Trumps if we don't start investing our votes from the ground up.

Here is a guide (mostly from this website https://tminstituteldf.org/local-elections/ ):

CITY GOVERNMENT

School Boards:

Have the power to set policy and budgets for local schools, such as whether or not you can protest without losing your job or getting expelled.

Sherrifs:

Generally speaking, Sherrifs are fucked up. It's too much for me to go into here. They have way too much unilateral power with no oversight at all.

Prosecutors:

The largest contributor to mass incarceration

They set the terms on whether someone is charged with a misdemeanor or felony and being convicted of a felony will strip your right to vote in many states - some permanently.

City Council:

City Council approve things like city budgets and implement criminal and civil laws and regulations

Also the voice of their City at a State and Federal level. Generally, these are some of the people you should be shouting at to bring your voice higher up the food chain.

This includes the Mayor who often decides where budgets go (like schools or cops), and they also determine the level of enforcement of local laws.

County Board of Supervisors (County Commissioners):

Represent county issues in front of state and federal legislative bodies. Counties are also responsible for registering voters and administrating elections. i.e., another group of people who have a stronger voice against the elected Democrat when it comes to larger issues.

Planning and Zoning Commission:

Determines how and where affordable housing is zoned in your area. Has a huge effect on housing segregation.

Comptroller:

The City's accountant and budget manager - this is the person who audits the City Council and makes sure they aren't basically stealing money. They also approve city contracts such as those for affordable public transportation and shelters.

STATE GOVERNMENT

Judges:

This one is crucial. Your state judges act as the Supreme Court of your given state. The cases that they weigh on when it comes to state laws (such as abortion, medical autonomy, immigration, right to protest/free speech, etc.) these are binding and final.

Superintendent of Education:

This is the person who decides if PragerU gets to teach classes on why Zionism and Evangelical teachings are "ok and good, actually".

Secretary of State:

The person who certifies elections in your state - for the Presidency, but also for all of these other positions mentioned. It is so, so important that this person cannot be bought or pressured.

Attorney General:

Has influence over law enforcement agencies and represents the state in legal disputes - such as those where someone is disputing their rights are being infringed by the state. (abortion, medical autonomy, immigration, right to protest/free speech, etc.)

Governor:

Is basically the president of your state. They sign in laws, have veto power and oversee all of the other departments. They also can appoint Justices and State Senate seats if they are empty.

Not only does this person have a lot of state power, they also have a ton of influence over the broader federal climate and are one of the positions that fast-tracks to Presidency (see: Ron Desantis).

State Comptroller (or Controller):

Same as City Comptroller except extremely importantly they manage disaster relief/preparation funding - which is especially important amidst climate change.

Also oversee fraud investigations.

Public Service Commissioner:

Determines rates for things like energy, water, internet in your state.

Also deals with the gas and oil industry in your state, often being in charge of approval/rejection of the building of oil pipelines.

They can be appointed by the Governor.

State Senators:

Has just about the most authority in a state, with the ability to impeach Governors and deny someone the Governor tries to appoint

Another position that fast-tracks to Presidency

Draft and introduce/pass state laws and amend the state constitution

State House of Reps:

Can call for the removal of another legislator

Draft and introduce/pass state laws

All Right. I'm running out of steam on this post. Please, please, please, PLEASE register to vote *right now* and look over the website when you do to see if it can set up email alerts when an election is coming up.

Buy a calendar and mark voting days and stick it to your wall TODAY. Set aside an hour of your time, TODAY, to make a plan for voting.

Go to this website, enter your state. It will tell you exactly what to do. Register.

Lastly, if you don't like Biden and it makes you feel like shit to vote for him (understandably), then YOU NEED TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARY.

[aloeverawrites]

If you’re not voting blue because of Palestine tell Biden that.

They need to know that while they still have the power to do better, it will be too late for Palestine after the election.

I just really didn't think that America as a whole would be dumb enough to go back for round 2. like did the trump voters actually have a good time during his last term?? i thought everyone was just humouring him by letting him get this far

[noisepartythumpingmusic]

You can't boycott voting.

[satans-codpiece]

“you are actively indicating to the Democrats that they can in fact get away with…”

Isreal’s own national security minister has stated Trump would be giving them more leeway in their assault on Gaza.

and that dumb fuck thinks Sending A Message to the DMC is more important than the ACTUAL consequences of electing Republicans.

the indignation experience in tales of arise is not one of “holy shit they put indignation in tales????” as much as one of Indignation? At this point of the game? In this part of the battle? This early in the playthrough? Localized entirely within the second boss’ chamber? 

[lemondoddle]

the pure gut-wrenching dread of a straight guy texting you

[aloeverawrites]

Reblog this if a second Trump presidency would endanger you or impact your life in some way.

Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.

This bill is to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.

Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!

ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.

This only takes a few minutes!

This morning there was a nation-wide text spam campaign targeting Black Americans (largely students) telling them that they’ve been selected to pick cotton and will be picked up to be sent to a plantation after Trump’s inauguration.

People online are making jokes about it, but it’s genuinely a disturbing sign. Someone was emboldened enough to intentionally run a background on thousands of young Black people and send them racist messages the day after a very exhausting and stressful election.
