#vote or die not kidding

[brinnanza]

"oh they both support genocide I'm not voting idc what happens to my rights" cool but it's not just your rights it's my fucking life. it's the lives of every disabled person, every queer person, every person of color, every poor person, every jew, every muslim, every single person who does not fit the white nationalist capitalist ideal. trying to survive as a disabled trans person is hard enough and I'm white!!! there are axies of oppression that do not apply to me and let me tell you I only barely survived the first trump term. I'd probably survive a second one, but a lot of people won't. A lot of people didn't survive the first one.

I don't know how to tell you that you should care about other people

[castielsprostate]

signed,

the rest of the world

If Trump gets elected we're all fucked.

I'm serious. This man said at his recent Washington DC rally that "In four years you don't have to vote. We'll have it all straightened out so it will be much different"

This man is probably going to make voting insanely difficult or even get rid of it entirely. He's probably going to take away womens right to vote, and probably even black/poc's right to vote. I get y'all are upset by Palestine, and you have every right to be angry at Biden for how he's handling Palestine (I am also angry at him for how he's handling Palestine,) but when the alternative is this Hitler wannabe who's going to make it only cishet white male republicans can vote and fuck over everyone else, vote Biden. Vote blue. Please for the love of god. Plus, if Trump gets elected, he's not only going to give Israel 5 trillion dollars for their genocide, but he's probably going to give them the a-okay in their genocide. This is the man that banned muslims from entering the country, this man HATES arabs and muslims and will gladly give Israel the funds and ability to not only kill the Palestians, but wage war on the rest of the Middle East as a whole. And he will shut down any pro-Palestinian protest and possibly have those protestors shot and killed as well in the name of "protecting America from terrorists."

VOTE. FUCKING. BLUE.

Also, please check out defeatproject2025.org to get an idea of just what trump might do if he's elected. It's not hist actual agenda, but the Heritage Foundation is planning to use him to carry out this heinous agenda. They literally have a thing about what they plan to do with voting, specifically about how voter suppression is handled and its NOT GOOD. Register to vote and PLEASE vote blue not only for president, but at a state and local level. please.

Edit: Someone who runs the defeatproject2025 website gave me extra examples of how project 2025 will change voting:

people dont talk enough about how heartbreaking the marlon betrayal mustve been for clem too,,

this dude saves the life of her and her kid. takes them in has them patched up gives them their first hot meal in who knows how long. gives them a safe place to stay. possibly permanently. confides in her that hes trying to be a good leader but feels like and fears that hes failing. asks her to help him take care of the rest of the group. helps her get over her fear of dogs by asking her to trust him. and things go well. she feels safe. like this place could really finally be the home shes been looking for

but as soon as she finds out what happened to the twins. that marlon planned on giving up her and aj too. she immediately becomes a liability to him and he attempts to kill her for it. locks her in the basement to die by walker. then tries to turn the group against her so he can shoot her instead when the first method fails. and he nearly succeeds

then a majority of the group turn against clem the minute aj kills marlon. ignoring marlons mistakes but condemning aj for his. like clem wasnt betrayed by marlon in the exact same way he betrayed the twins. like she literally wasnt almost killed twice? and how long had he been considering giving her up? was it always some contingency he planned? did he truly want to keep them around and things only changed when he feared the raiders had returned? she'll never know

I am begging people giving U.S. politics commentary to have, just, a basic, basic, 6th grade citizenship class level of understanding of the relationship between the branches of government. Please. You will not get icky electoralism cooties if you learn that "Whoever is the president right now is responsible for decisions the supreme court hands down right now" is nonsense.

[sweetangle8]

For any Trump supporters who celebrating right now I just hope and I hope I really hope that you feel the first thing that he does to everybody first to any man woman or anybody who voted for him I hope you feel the effects he does first to you I hope no sympathy. I hope no empathy for you I personally hope there is a special place just for you and Help and for making fun of my country and seeing word piece of garbage when you personally use it as your vacation homes I hope there is a personal space in hell just for you.

And I’m gonna put this in words for every Hispanic person who voted for trump so they can understand Puertorriqueño y si fueras puertorriqueño y votaras por Trump, yo personalmente hay un lugar personal en el infierno solo para ti para cualquier hombre o mujer hispanos que lo haya hecho hay un lugar personal en el infierno solo para ti pedazo de mierda

the other big plot twist of this past year other than many of my organs freaking out on me was spending years telling people abt my highschool experience, having them jokingly say it sounds like I was in a cult and us then all having a chuckle about that

only to look up the history & religious beliefs of my highschool and finding out that Yes It Was Very Much A Cult

The titans take a vote on what they should do with the kids. Dick reminds Epsilon once more that he isn’t Titan and won’t be included in the vote. Both dick and Jesse raise concerns about not having time to take care of the kids but in the end, the majority voted for the kids to live with the titans. (Titans #29)

me: haha yeah so since reina used the machine on both eiji and miki they don't remember anything and i guess you can say that hinode was the one responsible for voting reina guilty 👍👍👍 kinda cool kinda interesting

me editing the post-t3 voice dramas and coming to a realization that i'm an idiot and in-universe hinode would actually be responsible FOR ALL THE T3 VERDICTS SO THIS GUY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR VOTING EVERYONE GUILTY EXCEPT AKIO AND ASAHI

[gobbluthbutagirl]

i remember doing the mock election in school in second grade(2004) but i have no idea who i voted for for president because my main memory of that event was just going through the entire down ballot picking any name that sounded like it might belong to a woman. then in 6th grade(2008) we did the mock election and i voted for obama on purpose. and i think he actually won at my school and let me tell you. the rednecks were NOT HAPPY!

[best-fnaf-song-competition]

Got to vote on the polls myself tonight! And holy shit the ratio of cries of the missing vs graveyard shift is BRUTAL

Every time I’m with my irls the subject comes up a lot more cause they’re into more female oriented series but man while it’s given better female rep is just okay-not astounding but not feeding into the more worse tropes of women in anime-I feel really bad for Michiru.

It’s like she’s the more prominent female in getter as she’s probably had the most appearances out of any of the others but I feel she’s never been used to her fullest potential. The manga really felt like Ken didn’t know what to do with her as she just kinda existed and then was killed off, arma just uses her as a plot device, toei I can’t speak fully but I know she’s a support character however given it’s that role and the 70s it only goes so far and in other canons she’s flat out hardly acknowledged. (SVN literally just has her as a cameo)

New is probably her best version but I feel there was some missed opportunities with her as the Hein arc could’ve shown more what was going on in the present and with her but it didn’t have enough time for that, and even if she does have dynamics with the boys hers and Ryomas are very undeveloped as they hardly interacted which is both a shock and a shame as they seemed to be fun in the one ep-ep 2-where they really talked.

And also as much as I like News approach to her characterization it is a shame we hardly ever seen the more traditional version of Michiru be fleshed out, when even if “uwu nice girl” is more basic it can still work and be a good character. Like it made me more sad watching Android Kikaider and seeing Mitsuko who’s basically the same trope as Michiru-down to even LOOKING like her-being a older sister with a dead brother, absent mother and a sus scientist father and be so fleshed out, but Michiru never got that chance.

You can always say “oh maybe in another getter project” but fuck knows when that’ll happen ever man💀

Oh my god I don't have good and fancy words for it but I'm so tired of the fucking polarisation spiral. The whole 'those people and these people and their stupid barbaric selfish people and our good intelligent kind people'. The fucking separation of it all - "I won't do politics unless that guy stops being a politician, I don't want to play until the playing field is fair, I don't want to vote until those people stop voting". Oh my god!! Who do you think has the power to make the playing field fair!!! That's you baby!!! Are you really truly any better than 'those people' who stereotype and judge others? Of course you can disagree with someone, of course you can dislike a politician and their views and of course you can dislike it when someone agrees with those views. And of course you can dislike spending time with a group of people because of their views! But dismissing an entire group of people as barbaric and stupid and not worth your time and even subhuman (?!) because of their views? Be serious. How will that ever fucking help. Do you think separating the good people from the bad people has ever resulted in anything good at all ever? You know what helps? Talking to each other. Finding common ground. Good, you both like baking. Good, you both live on the same street. Good, you both like the name Ruth. Or fucking whatever. And then go from there. Try to maybe listen and understand each other for once. I'm not talking about forgiving people who plan on taking away your human rights or who would rather see you dead. Obviously. I'm not saying you should find the nearest 'bad person' and befriend them. Obviously. But take a good look at yourself pleasseeeeee. What do you mean 'bad person'? If you believe hatred is taught, have you ever caught yourself believing in the innate evil of a trump supporter, have you ever considered them beyond saving? If you believe empathy is human, have you ever checked if your thoughts still mean the same, does "i hate men" still carry the same value, do you still look at men the same way you did before you started saying that? Do you catch yourself stripping away hobbies and feelings and meaningful relationships from 'those' people, do you consider yourself above them? Do you praise and celebrate when people change for the better or do you hold on to what they used to do and put all your focus on what they still need to learn? A homophobe might meet a gay man and consider him one of the good ones, and that's a good start. That's not the end but it's a good fucking start. If your politics are in-group/out-group politics you are not helping and you do not have the interest of your fellow people at heart. If your beliefs have pushed you to the point you hate a certain group so much you think it's better if they're dead? I'm asking you to think about that a little, okay? Maybe go outside. Talk to people. Jesus christ.

[chirpsythismorning]
