#us 2024 election

[todoroki-tina]

With the news that Biden is dropping out now its more important than ever to stop Trump and Project 2025. I'm 100% serious on how we cant let Trump back in the WH. If we do here are examples of Project 2025:

These could actually happen. Social Security GONE! Public Assistance GONE! any mention of LGBTA+ on the internet: Ao3, Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram anywhere GONE!! Protections against discrimination GONE! Women's Right GONE!

Also Palestine yeah it will 10X worse. Trump had repeatedly says he wants Bibi to "Finish the Job" and will pretty much give Bibi anything he wants.

Please I begged you guys look more into Project 2025 its horrible and we must vote to defeat Trump.

I think it's important to understand that the vast majority of voters do not spend much time thinking through their political decisions because it's simply not something that occupies much space in their minds. You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into, and it's extremely difficult to fight feelings with facts.

Now that the Democratic party's inner core is highly-educated cosmopolitan urbanites, it seems to have lost the ability to deal with that reality.

Most people do not feel like trump is a fascist, or that he wants to be a dictator. Most people do not feel like any of Biden's massive legislative/executive accomplishments improved their lives at all. Most people do not feel like Harris's platform would've actually gotten done or helped them. Most people feel like Trump ran a better economy and that it's Democrats' fault that inflation got so bad.

In an individualistic, selfish nation with one of the worst education systems in the industrialized world, a political party cannot win by serving up a charcuterie board of various poll-tested policies that it then tries to explain to people who could not care less and don't understand anyway. It needs to create an overwhelming feeling, a feeling that changes the minds of people who don't give a fuck about anything but themselves and their wallets. Trump found that overwhelming feeling. Through bravado, cruelty, and levity, he created this zeitgeist of blunt, confident grievance that countless prideful people who feel left behind by the economy could grab onto. This feeling inspired people far beyond his cult of enthusiastic fascists and self-identified bigots.

The country chose trump because Trump's brand, vibe, and message inspired compelling emotions in more people, especially in people who have no interest in civic engagement, don't follow the news, and have been given little understanding of government/economics by our failing education system.

This problem wasn't fully apparent in 2022 during the midterms, when more low-propensity voters stayed home and highly-educated, highly-engaged people made up more of the electorate.

to everyone that saw my destiel post today or last night, i have another one for you.

even so, do not lose hope. do not give up.

feel your feelings. mourn, cry, hug a pillow and dissociate for three hours. let yourself feel. but afterwards i need you to get up and keep living.

it is scary. terrifying. but i promise it'll be over someday. there are better days, better weeks, better years, even, to come, and you have to live until then. i'm promising myself and all of you that i will outlive donald trump, and i hope to whatever higher power there may-or-may-not-be that you promise the same thing.

giving up is what they want. you have to keep fighting in spite of that.

if you're eligible, go vote locally when it comes up. go out there and protest if it's safe, advocate if you're able. if you're not, find a safe space, find a community, and hold on tight. things will get bad hut we can make it through. we can survive.

i want you all to promise me that you will wake up tomorrow, and keep living. promise. i know it's hard, but you have to promise. there are so many people that will look out for you, including me. you're so, so strong for making it this far.

if anyone needs comfort or has questions feel free to ask! much love, stay safe, and good luck. i believe in you!

Dude, this is killing me.

I genuine cannot understand how trump voters are choosing this guy. Like, WHY???

This man is a nepo baby and has never worked a real day in his life.

He's friends with Diddy and praised the bastard.

He's found guilty of 34 felonies.

He wants to turn the US into a fascist country.

He was friends with Jeffery Epstein.

He's friends with Elon Musk, a fellow nepo baby who's kids don't even want to associate with him. Who think women shouldn't be able to vote. Who didn't even design Tesla, but just bought it. Who's a massive fucking hypocrite. Who is a hateful bastard.

He hypersexualizes and objectifies women.

His only real defense is anti-immigration (bullshit), anti-LGBT (more bullshit), and misogynistic (surprise surprise, even more bullshit).

He's a horrible person. He doesn't care about this country, or the majority of people in it. He doesn't care about women's bodily autonomy. He doesn't care about survival.

He feeds lies and propaganda to make you think he'll make a change.

The only thing this man cares about is power and winning. And the people that voted for him are supporting that.

And if you're worried about the economy, let me tell you something.

Democrats don't fuck up the economy. Republicans do.

The way the government system works is that every policy takes time. A republican gets into office, and starts putting forth all these policies that aren't really going to take a strong effect until their term is almost up. Then a democrat gets into office and gets the blame for the negative effects that the policy has taken. They put in changes to fix it, which takes time. Their term is up. A republican takes office, and gets the credit for the benefits, only to fuck it all up again.

Also, Kamala Harris can't use tax dollars to fund sex changes for illegal immigants (because we've all seen that one ad). That's not the way the American healthcare system works, and sex changes are done through the American healthcare system. We'd have to be more of a socialist country for our tax dollars to go towards that. (Not that anyone should care about what someone wants to do to their body to feel more comfortable in their own skin.)

This man does not care about this country, so he should not be getting votes. And not voting for Kamala or Trump isn't going to help either. Independent parties pull votes away to give power to the Republicans. Most of the people who vote outside of the two major political groups are liberals. Which makes it more likely for the Republican party to win.

Stop voting for yourself, if you do this. Vote for the people who are going to be affected. Vote for the women who are going to die because they can't get the healthcare they need. Vote for the transgender individuals who are going to be hurt and attacked for something that we should all be sympathetic for. Vote for the people who aren't going to be able to marry those they love. Vote for the people who are going to lose the ability to safely practice their religion.

I've seen so many Republican woman talk about how "well it doesn't affect me, so why should I care?"

You should care because of human decency. Because of empathy.

Also, fun fact, the more educated you are, the more likely you are to vote liberal.

(It's British, but the point remains. I couldn't find the one specific towards US statistics. But it's almost 2 in the morning, so forgive me.)

And one of the first groups to be attacked in a fascist state is the more educated and intellectual individuals.

Secondly... Do you really want this being the face of America for four more years?

[scatteredcrow]

I am not American, I am European, but I am still scared. I scared for my fellow trans and queer people who now get their rights taken away. I am scared for women who's rights get taken away. I am scared for poor people who now are not allowed to live normally under the reign of a millionaire. I am scared for poc who are now more then ever the target for hate. But I am also scared that my country can't say anything against it. The US is the biggest UN contributer and we can't say anything against this. I am scared that this storm of hate is going to effect the rest of the world. So please for not just America's future but for the rest of us, go vote if you still can. I am tired of being scared even though I don't live in your country.

Hi! Thanks for voting. Now that you’re here, would you mind helping my wife and our sweet cats out? We just had to pay for a vet bill and it’s made bills a huge strain for us.

Venn-moe

Payment-acquaintance

Currency-appliance

If you can’t, please RB! Every amount helps, I’m so serious, even a dollar!!

[thefakehedgehogaroundhere]

i'm most likely not going to be that active on social media today, so i'm making this post for the day:

everyone, stay alive.

i have seen a lot of people saying they would kill themselves if trump won. every other post under the us elections tag was something along those lines. and the thing is that is what he wants.

he wants anyone who is not white, male, cis, or straight to die.

and if you do that, who is going to stand up against it?

who is going to remain after his presidency ends?

the sad thing is by having our country vote for him, we avoided the bloodbath he said it would be if he lost.

please don't be the bloodbath he didn't get to make.

I love voting in western Washington state primaries because the candidates be like “democratic incumbent”, “republican challenger who never wins”, “random moderate bureaucrat”, “crazy dave who thinks democrats are stalinists”, “socalist who believes trump is innocent,” “random house husband who cannot support is comically large family and wants to lower cost of living”, “another moderate bureaucrat”, and “GoodSpaceMan”

Never change, WA. Never change. At least the Stranger is funny to read alongside the voter’s guide.

Oh, America. Try again next time 🫠

[madamepestilence]

Welp. People have literally no excuse not to vote for Dr. Stein now.

Biden dropped from the election. There are literally no other Democratic candidates running - Harris isn't even currently running.

Current running candidates are Donald Trump (self-explanatory), Chase Oliver (Libertarian), RFKJ (literally a fascist antivaxxer), Dr. Jill Stein (Green Party, enough ballot access to win), Randall Terry (anti-abortion Constitutionalist), and Dr. Cornel West (explicit socialist, but nowhere near enough ballot access to win)

I'm gonna get a little political, which I usually don't get on this account, but it's important.

For anyone who doesn't know, Trump won the 2024 election in America, so I'd like to spread this message as a safety precaution for any minors, and hell, even young adults.

If you have pictures of yourself on an account you are openly LGBTQ on, you may want to delete it. Not the account in general, but the pictures. This does not include Discord, WhatsApp, or anything private, but public posts on apps like amino, tumblr, tiktok, Instagram, etc, to make sure nothing can get traced back to you. PLEASE stay safe during this time. You can be lgbt on your account, but make sure not to use an email with a personal email (actual name) or phone number. Stay safe, everyone.

This is just a note for Americans to stay safe. Although, if any Americans don't want to follow this, that is perfectly okay. This is just my personal message I want to spread.

Live to tell your story, don't die and let the people tell your story wrong.

[sockatoothewafflebird]

It may all seem hopeless right now but listen, focus on your LOCAL POLITICS! this is where you will see immediate change that YOU have the power to influence, one person in small town won't be able to change the outcome of a national bill, but YOU can change the outcome of a local one, this is where immediate and tangible change is made: LOCALLY!! THERE IS HOPE! GO LOCAL! FOCUS ON LOCAL POLITICS THAT IS WHERE TANGIBLE IMMEDIATE CHANGE IS MADE FOR YOU!

love from NZ 🫂

YES!!!!
