people really watch/read that scene in Emma where she talks to Mr. Knightley about how he can say whatever he wants because he's never been a dependent, and doesn't know what it's like to "have tempers to manage" and say "wow that's so sad that this adult woman has to walk on eggshells to keep the people who control her life- specifically, a man, her father -happy, and thus keep her place in the household"

and then turn around and insist that it's women's job to keep men from trying to violently take our human rights away, by just being ~sweet and kind~ to them at all times

Kamala is doing everything she can lads.

Try and grasp the situation here: she is the presumptive nominee of a party that is comprised of both staunch Israëli opponents and hard line Israëli supporters. She also is going up against a party of exclusively the latter, and wants to try and convince as many people deciding between the Democrats and Republicans to vote for her in November. She cannot afford to lose because if she does, America will turn into a fascist theocracy for the foreseeable future, and then we will all be fucked because America is the most influential country upon global politics.

So Kamala Harris CANNOT AFFORD to say any more than she is saying about the war in Palestine right now, because if she does, she risks losing the support of a large and potentially election-deciding group of swing voters.

I am a supporter of a free and prosperous Palestine. I believe that Israël has no right to exist as a country, and that it is an apartheid state. But I also have some amount of common sense, and I see that there has to be a compromise here. As, it seems, does Kamala Harris. Watch the video above to see what I mean.

I am not a resident of the United States. I live in the Netherlands, where in the last election, the party with the most votes was the party who wants to ban the Qur’ān and close all mosques, advocates for increased and more violent policing, wants to retract the official apologies made for the Netherlands’ involvement in the Slave Trade, and ban puberty blockers. That’s not because most people want to do those things. It’s because people didn’t fucking vote. Well there are more reasons than that but that’s one of the main ones.

So, Americans. From your friends over in Europe. We like you. We don’t want you to live under a fascist theocracy. However, we don’t have the power to stop that. Only you do, and you can do it by putting aside your grievances and seeing the big picture here. In other words,

VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS.

I’m not gonna go into all the rest of her policies, but coming from a gay genderqueer socialist I think she’s pretty solid. Obviously she and I don’t agree on everything, but that’s because we’re unique individuals with different personalities, upbringings and backgrounds. Yknow, like how normal society is? I’ve been hearing so much discourse on this kut website and most of it boils down to “she’s not a carbon copy of me so I won’t vote for her”.

Guys, what the fuck happened to the tolerant left? What happened to the people who welcomed different ideas and beliefs? Are they in the room with us now??? Grow up. Go to your silly little American voting website and register to vote. I don’t know which website it is but someone can link it in a reblog or something idk.

And for my European friends. I know we all dislike how much influence American politics has on our lives. I fucking hate it. But we live in a globalised world, for better or worse, so try as best you can to make as many Americans that you know and love vote for Kamala Harris - or whoever it ends up being - come November. That’s the most we can do to ensure the right wing parties of our own countries don’t see Trump and follow in their footsteps. It’s happening in the Netherlands and we are already seeing the consequences over here. I’d talk about them but this post is too long.

TLDR: OI AMERICANS, VOTE BLUE

(pwease :3)

btw Trump winning is not the fault of people who didn't vote or voted 3rd party. a lot of people who didn't vote would've been willing to vote for Harris if she didn't run such an unpopular campaign, cater to the right, and continuously show her support for genocide.

Someone finally said it

[wiserebeltiger]

Kamala didn’t want to win. She just wanted to be “the next one up.” The Democratic Party is a toxic club. Nobody actually wants to be president. It would feel good, but who wants the responsibility amiright fellas (and fellos)

“Um no actually technically it’s my turn” is all she is.

And then once she had the nomination: “You didn’t think I was actually gonna run, did you? The presidency ruins your skin.”

*Proceeds to blow tens of millions of dollars on pop concerts for her own enjoyment*

In her concession speech she is almost self aware that she is a demented nothing. And she rubs it in our face. How she absent-mindedly thought loops at the end. With glassy eyes and hateful yet invulnerable expression; the expression—it seems almost a waste to describe—of an antisocial personality.

This is all the last ten years has been in America: learning about the specifics of lowlifery. So that we can, when we run across scum, more completely ignore it, and not be taken in by it, as we have, due to our lack of specific knowledge of its psychology.

Society is forgetting obvious lessons, then relearning them.

i don’t actually think that half of the democrats in congress are more conservative than the guy who vetoed a national day care bill

[angee1011]

Can’t really articulate it well, but as someone who lived through the Democratic primary coup of 2019 when Bernie was running, having to see the Democratic Party scramble around the last year to make Joe seem electable/viable only to fail miserably to the point where at a late stage in a presidential election year, they have to convince him to drop out, boost his understudy Kamala up in the polls as his replacement AND THEN she goes and picks a pretty progressive guy as her VP…….

It’s slightly vindicating, slightly baffling and ultimately frustrating

[starredforlife]

the fucking democratic administration is going to maybe 50% chance throw us into a war before the general election if it doesn’t back the fuck off and cut the support for Israel. They are going to drop kick any and all momentum they have from a new candidate because of this. this Harris campaign becomes a complete lost cause.

[taylorftparamore]

i'll believe in "blue maga" once democrats file suits to remove the right to vote from citizens because some of y'all are dense as hell

you guys need to shut the fuck uppp with your dumb US elections posts. you people have no standards. joe biden received multiple standing ovations during his address for saying simple shit like trump is evil. ok you are bombing children

[the-celestial-bitch]

okay but typical of people to start criticizing people and not the democratic party's absolute cowardice in taking a firm stand on the palestinian genocide issue instead of trying to keep both sides.
