Remind me again why I should be voting for Kamala Harris?

[uwuchan-ramen]

I am so tired of reading 10 paragraph long posts explaining all the things Kamala has done wrong and how voting for her won't stop the Palestine genocide, like that isn't already common knowledge

And then they end with trying to guilt the reader into I guess... not voting at all? I'm not sure what the end goal is of all of this rhetoric but I'm so tired of it

How am I, personally, supposed to stop a genocide? I can donate to victims and I can call and email my local representatives but how is not partaking in this year's election going to change anything

I don't believe Kamala will stop the genocide, and I also don't believe that Trump will stop it. I have two evil options. Whether I vote or not, one of those evil options is winning. I'm not sorry for voting for the one that is more likely to help me, a queer person in the midwest. I dont need people yelling at me for voting for my own interests. Not to mention all the shit that has been thrown at black and brown content creators who are voting for Kamala (specifically on tiktok with the whole Madeline Pendelton discourse)

This isn't a situation I want to be in, but it's the situation we are all in. Unless someone is willing to assassinate both candidates I don't want to hear shit about how voting for Kamala is evil. I know. *We know*

But what the fuck are we supposed to do

P.s. if you want to have an actual informed convo about this, my dms are open. I'd love to learn more about why I may be wrong, or what other options are available to me

okay I'm seeing a lot of stuff about voting and a lot of heated arguments over whether it is best to vote blue or vote 3rd party and I want to throw in my two cents.

On one hand, a 3rd party victory is MUCH less likely than you might be led to believe if you spend all your time in left-wing circles on the internet. on the other hand, defeatism is the enemy of progress and we can't let it stop us from advocating for a better future. I think we need to find a compromise between fighting to dismantle the 2-party system and being realistic about our chances.

Now I'm no expert in politics but I think the best thing we can do is pick a 3rd party candidate and push for them HARD. figure out who to rally behind and rally behind them like CRAZY. make sure people know that they exist and how to vote for them, convince the center-left that this candidate will be a better option than Kamala. really come together to fight tooth and nail for an actually decent person to win this election.

but lets be honest. even with all our effort there is a 99.999% chance that its not gonna be enough. if it works, thats perfect! but if its getting to be days away from the election and none of the 3rd party candidates are polling better than Trump we need to PIVOT. take a deep breath, sigh loudly, ask forgiveness from the universe or whatever god you believe in and vote for Kamala Harris. This strategy should give us the maximum chance of a 3rd party victory while also minimizing the chance of another Trump presidency.

Obviously our efforts wouldn't end there, no matter who wins the election there will still be more work to be done. But voting is important because it creates the conditions in which the work will be done. A Harris administration would likely be at least a little easier to work with or fight against than a Trump administration. But a 3rd party victory would be much better than either of those options, if we can actually put in the effort and make it happen

Can’t stand dems who say, “Vote blue no matter who.” I’m not voting for someone who supports genocide. I’m not voting for damn democrats who allow cop cities happen. Why should we give into the 2 party system just because it “helps you.” He hasn’t actually done anything of substance as president. Neither the republicans or the democrats care about you. They are money-hungry capitalists.

Your vote clearly doesn’t matter anyways. The electoral college will pick whoever they see “fit.” We live in an oligarchy, not a democracy. If it was a true democracy, our votes would actually count. I mean, there’s no way Biden is going to win. I don’t see it happening. The “democrat” vote is already split because the dude is fucking senile.

The above post is literally fear-mongering. They already overturned Roe v Wade. Cop cities are currently happening. The Gaza genocide is currently happening because of Biden funding it. The LBGT community is already fucked because of Project 2025. The working poor is already fucked and has been fucked since the beginning of time. Tell me again how Biden plans to stop all of this shit that’s already in effect. He’s a damn puppet, and if you don’t see that, you need your eyes checked.

This is no way an endorsement for Trump either, so don’t even start with that. Y’all act like it will be the end of the world if he’s elected, but we’ve already dealt with it once. And if he gets 4 more years, it will be his last 4 years because he can’t run again. Get a grip. Presidents have term limits if y’all forgot, and I don’t think he has the ability to change that law.

We don’t just stop existing because some law prohibits us from existing. That’s the point of actual riots. That’s the point of making change. Read some damn Malcom X.

"Don't vote to teach the Democrats a lesson!" Great thanks my Jewish disabled queer ass will just die then

Hello!

In a move that is a surprise to only a few nitwits out there… robert Kennedy has dropped out of the race and thrown his support behind the imbecile.

To those of you that were going to vote for him: he has come out in support of agenda 47, of project 2025, of christian nationalism, of fascism. He has come out in support of tax cuts for the ultra rich and corporations. He has come out in support of a christian version of sharia law. Because that is what his master intends to do.

There is no third party candidate capable of winning the election. Period. The only third party candidates are meant to be ‘spoilers’ to take votes from either side.

To those of you who think that not voting blue will help Palestine or BLM keep in mind which side the proud boys, the kkk, and the heritage foundation are on. Pay attention to the side that said to turn gaza into a parking lot. Pay attention to the side that calls BLM a terrorist organization. That isn’t the dems. Its every single red politician and candidate. Not voting means a vote for red. Not voting means you are voting for the klan, for the proud boys, for fascism.

The only side that cares about middle class Americans. The only side that cares about the economic prosperity of the people. The only side that cares about a ceasefire. The only side that cares about your individual liberties and freedoms. The only side willing to fight for your right to live a decent life in this country are the democrats. Vote in November. Vote blue. 💙

I'm new to Tumblr. I'm a Nordic heathen focused a lot on animism. I'm going to use this to post chapters of a short story I'm writing that is rooted in Nordic mythology.

I'm autistic and non binary and support advocacy for: LGBTQ, Homeless, PoC, Indigenous People, Disabled, Palestine, the Congo among others.

I post this not to virtue signal but to pin at the top of my blog (since it's dedicated to my short stories) so it will always be clear who I stand with. Vote 3rd party.

Referring to KKKamala as a "competent, qualified woman with no scandals" is straight up counterfactual, as well as state propaganda. KKKamala Harris is a racist, homophobic, transphobic, genocidal, warmongering bigot.

She proudly claims that the only differences between her and Genocide Joe (whonis famously to the right of fucking Reagan on many issues, "Israel" included...) is that she'd have a Republican in her cabinet! The same piece of shit who worked tirelessly to prevent trans women in prison from accessing gender-affirming care. The same piece of shit who enables and endorses ethnic cleansing, genocide, apartheid, and the violation of international law. The same piece of shit who, along with Joe, failed to meaningfully deliver on basically any of the promises made in the last campaign...which are largely the same "promises" dangled over our heads since Obama and even before. She will not enshrine Roe V Wade. She will not enshrine Obergefell V Hodges. She will not place an arms embargo against "Israel"!!!!!! She will not house the homeless. She will not give care to the sick...or face the reality of COVID killing and disabling thousands of Americans each week (roughly one 9/11's worth of deaths occur each month in the US due to COVID...) She will not tax the rich. She won't do a DAMNED thing other than what Dems always do: maintain the status quo, shift ever rightwards, and rake in the shill donor dollars doing so. She'll make more "compromises" with the Right, just like how Joe "compromised" to allow trans people to be drafted, lmfao. Do not pretend that this evil, lying sack of shit is "competent" or "with no scandals" ... "qualified" though she may be as a tool of White-Supremacist Capitalist Imperial Patriarchy.

Don't lie to me or to yourselves. Kamala is just as evil as Trump, she just wears a rainbow pin sometimes 🙄

Vote 3rd party.

[fafefae]

the american voting system is NOT EQUIPPED to support a 3rd party without ranked choice voting. and until we get RCV, it's one or the other. and it WILL be one or the other.

a lot of 3rd party candidates sound great, but they do not have a realistic chance at winning. be realistic. you know who does have a chance at winning? the household names, trump or harris.

splitting the vote by going 3rd party is what made trump happen in 2016, it was hillary clinton's downfall. it was USED by state sponsored internet trolls to spread propaganda, destabilize and divide the left. it was endorsed by trump himself, he tried it in 2020 too, and he's doing it again now because he knows it might be the only chance he has at winning.

be VERY wary of anyone telling you vote 3rd party. it's trump or harris. it won't be stein, de la cruz, or sherman, or fucking anybody else ive never heard of, because nobody is talking about independent candidates, and EVERYONE is talking about trump and harris.

it will be trump or harris for president, and it will be trump if you vote 3rd party. and ill tell you as an anarchist, i would rather have kamala harris and all her flaws in office over the fascist donald trump who would see me and my queer siblings and my friends and family of color dead.

do not split the fucking vote.

[seabeck]

Awful outcome but I saw this coming a mile away sadly.

[lostryu]

Americans:

In front of you is a ballot. There are 3 options on it. Genocide (red), genocide[progressive tho!] (blue), and NonGenocide (3rd party)

You have 5 minutes to review the candidates and vote before the saw trap goes off.

[aprivateplace7]

Biden doesn't just "suck", he's actively been funding & promoting genocide for more than half a yr. He's kept less than half of his campaign promises. Have u not been seeing what the police are doing to student protesters? How is this *not* a dictatorship already??? It just keeps getting worse & worse... under Biden.

U know, all this "lesser of 2 evils" bs is why nothing ever changes around here.

Fuck u i am not voting for Genocide Joe.

Vote 3rd party (maybe Jill Stein or Claudia de la Cruz?) Free Palestine. Abortion is a human right.

Gonna need yall to stop putting Biden is Just As Bad propaganda on my dash. Had to unfollow someone because I don’t want to a start a fight with them over it, but I’m about to bite the next person who puts that shit in front of me.

If you don’t like Biden, vote in your god damn local and mid term elections for third party or further left candidates so that we get better democratic candidates for future elections. But this one is already fucking decided, and I’m NOT ending up under a Trump led dictatorship because yall value protecting your personal sense of moral purity over the collective good. Whether it offends your personal morals to vote for Biden is IRRELEVANT in the face of the alternative.

This isn’t a lesser of two evils situation. One guy sucks. The other guy is LITERALLY PLANNING TO OVERTHROW OUR DEMOCRACY AND INSTALL HIMSELF AS A PUTIN STYLE DICTATOR.

PLEASE look up Project 2025 and stop acting like abstaining is some kind of personal ethical decision!

[taliesinned]

was the third party protest vote worth it? was it? did you send your message? was your message received? did you know that when the bad guys win, your message and mine go in the same fucking bin?

[tightjeansjavi]

knowing that Pedro woke up feeling the same sense of anger as everyone is, is really comforting tbh. I just know that if he ever crossed paths with Donald Trump, he wouldn’t hesitate to punch him in the fucking face 😭
