#voting is your right and responsibility

I’m watching The Suffragettes on BritBox US. It focuses on the UK, but the story parallels history in the US.
Women suffered beatings, prison, even death for women’s right to vote. They should not have their sacrifices be in vain. VOTE!
VOTE, vote all elections, vote for liberal candidates. Without liberals in government, women today would not have the vote.

I am permanently stepping back from all delusional people (mostly extended family) in my life. I don’t want to debate with them, my energy is better spent elsewhere.
From this point forward I will counter anyone who makes a statement about this traitor’s great character, especially when it’s based on staged events any fool could see are for photo ops only. No way to polish this turd, nope not having it. 💩💩💩💩
OMG, I’m really disappointed with some of the folks, I never wanted to believe they were this stupid. I refuse to pretend it’s ok. Not a matter of politics at this point, it’s a chasm between polar opposite personal values and worldviews.
Time to unleash and amplify the energy from the dawning of the age of Aquarius. It’s real, y’all.

A number of states are in the news for illegally removing names from voter rolls. A key issue is removing names within 90 days of the election.
Just as a reminder, vote.org allows voters to check their registration status as well as to check their polling place.
It might be worth checking your status if you have not yet voted.
Also, we are now past the US Postal Service’s recommended deadline for mailing ballots for pre-election day delivery. It is now recommended to hand deliver completed ballots if your state requires that ballots be received on / before election day.

I keep telling mr k all the scorched earth fb status I want to post but won’t. My current favorite is:
I wanna say you’re all dumb as hell but I think most of you are just hateful.
Honorable mention to: Always heard “money isn’t everything” and that’s obviously a lie for most of you when you're willing to sell out your friends and neighbors for *checks notes* egg prices.
also told my mom that we have no obligation to be nice to our family that voted for tr*mp because we as a country have obviously decided that kindness and respect don't matter.
#we're all just coping one day at a time#and re: the kindness thing- BE KIND!#spread kindness!#but don't feel guilty about putting up boundaries with people that voted to actively hurt you and others#you're just following their lead there- if they can vote for hate and vulgarity you don't need to feel obligated to spare their feelings wh#make them uncomfortable when you say 'i love you but i can't talk to you right now'#make them reflect on their choices (or at least hope they reflect)#its not YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to assuage any guilt they might be feeling#i'm mostly talking to myself in these tags because I was raised Distinctly Southern and have a people pleasing problem#lots of tr*mp-supporting family will be calling me for my birthday this week and i'm bracing myself and trying to prepare

No one is responsible for this election besides white people and implying otherwise is reductive, racist and frankly going to do nothing except for weaken community and coalition building we have desperately needed for decades if not centuries. Cause the reality is white supremacy created Trump. White people voted en masse for him. It wasn't latines, or Black men, or Arabs, or the Free Palestine movement. It will always rest squarely on the shoulders of whiteness as a individual identity and as a superstructure.
Stop fighting each other. Start fighting FOR each other. It will never ever be the fault of racialized people and anti-racists. Ever.
#donald trump#election 2024#I'm not doing great in my personal life rn but i just absolutely needed to get this off my chest#ik some of y'all're blaming arab folk and their allies for this are fucking white whos mommas and poppas probably voted for Trump and y'all#keep your mouths shut at that Thanksgiving dinner table. i know it.#get your shit together. idgaf if you feel white guilt idgaf what excuse you can think of#to make this not the sole fault of whiteness#you are not cooking. you are not smart. you are pushing people away who need you and whos communities will NEVER. be responsible for this.#and i for one won't be spending time searching for what type of marginalized communities i can blame for this#look in the mirror. then go out and build safety with Black & Brown folk. with the queer community and not just the white ones. with arabs#& latines and men and women and everyone else you can. protect and organize. plan carefully. stay safe and don't leave the sides of the folk#who need you most right now#because you feel you've cracked the code on what non white person is responsible for the actions of white people.#thats all i gotta say on the matter good night

Having opened social media I think I’m going to close it for the day holy shit
#genuinely and truly#if you don’t see the point in voting do me a favour and get the fuck away form me#as an Irish person I dearly truly wish that I didn’t have to care about what you people do with your own elections but everyone has#to suffer the consequences of an American election#I have had it up to here and I’m willing to break off friendships over other peoples lack of awareness and shirking of their rights and#responsibilities#holy fuck#I’m so tired#I wish you all well but fuck off with your grandstanding#whittering

if you think you are morally responsible for Trump's actions if you do not vote against him then why do you not think you are morally responsible for Bidens actions if you do actually vote for him?
#it truly doesnt make sense to me how you guys can think this way#you are responsible for your inactions but not for your actions?#also why do you guys think that every vote that isnt for joe Biden is a vite for trump#do you know theres people who voted third party instead of trump?#thats right i know multiple people who voted for jill stein last election instead of trump!#not everyone voting third party is someone who wouldve otherwise voted blue and its silly to assume so#sometimes voting third party takes votes away from republicans too! and you could encourage more republicans to vite third party too!#i stg the democratic party is so sad#all of you “blue is ALWAYS better than red no matter what” sound so ridiculous like#so if trump switched parties right now hed be the good guy?#bc thats essentially what yall are saying when all you care about is whether they call themselves a democrat or not

every time i see a liberal try and browbeat someone who rightfully expresses withholding their vote from a party that is currently financially, politically, and rhetorically supporting an actual genocide by screaming 'UHHH PROJECT 2025???'
i'm just like...
ok so where is the democrat party's project 2025 then?
'vote for us without caveat or demand -- brush aside state-sponsored genocide under democrat power -- bc the other side has a clear and itemized plan to enact their ideology' ok and where's yours, oh great protectors of the oppressed?
or would you then be forced to admit that you don't have one because sop for the dems for decades is to to scold votes based on 'harm reduction' while standing for absolutely nothing.
#vote blue no matter who#lol surejan#like if the presence of a political perspectives document is so fucking powerful where the fuck is yours babe?#where. is. the. dem. version. of. project. 2025.#the repeal of roe v. wade was on the backs of decades of reactionary *organizing*#and all the dems have to offer in reply is 'we're not them so vote for us' with no structural plan...bc that is not in their interests!#their interests are served by not governing in the positive but as a reaction to a further and further right ''''''''opposition'''''''''#the further right they let the boogeyman in the closet run without opposition the further they can divest of any responsibility#to working class people bc 'orange man bad are you really going to demand things in this the most important election of our lifetime?'#and look where that gets us -- they're literally endorsing genocide and libs still telling you to hold your nose bc#oooooo spooky desantis and his ***plan***#WHERE'S YOUR FUCKING PLAN GHOULS?

I have to admit that it has been WILD to see what comes out of the contingent of people who have decided to put all their eggs in the electoral basket as they seek to explain their logic to others. I keep seeing statements in these posts that I am absolutely sure people are just saying without recognizing the implications because they're scared but my god
#the amount of cruelty in how these posts are phrased#'if I can do [thing that is frankly fucking obscene to have felt compelled to do to exercise a basic right] to vote than so can you!!'#but like#we do remember that we've agreed not to victim blame people unable to overcome systemic oppression and disenfranchisement#i thought that if 'your legislators are restricting your vote' we felt empathy and responsibility not disdain and shame#my district has voter id laws that had me and wifey scrambling until literally TODAY to make sure at least one of us could legally vote#while on a technical level i am an 'eligible voter' legally even if i try to show up to vote I WILL BE SENT AWAY WITHOUT PROVISIONAL BALLOT#and i really think people's only concept of 'can't vote' is literally 'explicutly legally prohibited from voting' as opposed to#the understanding of voter suppression we have had literally since women and poc started seeking suffrage#you know the one where selectively applied laws and restrictions with asymetrical gatekeeping explicitly create plausible deniability

i do not talk about politics online for a variety of reasons, top amongst them being that i think the most effective way to make an impact on someone's views is to have a one-on-one conversation with them. And i am personally most well versed in local politics because living in a conservative area means that i am fighting an uphill battle both ways trying to convince someone that actually the more liberal candidate is the one who is advocating for policies that will positively effect you, i promise, and i have to have specific instances i can cite as proof for these conversations to be really meaningful. but because of this specific way i engage with politics, sometimes i see posts on this webbed site that makes me go "why are you even talking. what are you aiming for. what do you Want."
#sure fuck trump fuck biden vote blue no matter who#but what is your ideology beyond this. what sort of specific changes do you desire. is this just another cult of personality to you.#what do you Want and how are you making meaningful steps towards it.#this is NOT me advocating for third party btw i am not even lucky enough to live in a region that has third party candidates running#i do think everyone should swallow their pride and vote for whoever the popular democratic candidate ends up being on the ballot#but like. you know that politics do not end there right. even if you find state-level politics intimidating i am asking you#to look into smaller and more local stuff. not just in a 'call your local representative about the most recent hot-button issue'#but in a 'what does your local representative endorse? do you agree with them? do you disagree?'#it is much easier to drum up effective discourse on smaller issues and it gives you experience and understanding on#what is and is not effective forms of organization and petitioning#what works and what doesn't#some of it scales and some of it does not#but i am genuinely imploring you to look into things#because often you can make a tangible change on a small scale#obviously this in response to all of the current us election cycle posting that is happening currently#but also if you are not american but do regard your own politics especially your local ones with apathy#i am encouraging you to look into things too

The funding to Israel will continue regardless of if Trump or Biden is in charge. That is not something we have the power to change by voting. What we can change is everything else. Do not let your ideological purity kill your fellow leftist.
you people are not leftists holy shit
“It’s ok when brown people and immigrants die but when things start to look scary for us white usamerican liberals then we all need to organize!”
#Funny how it’s ‘trump will be worse’ and then when ppl point out the question of what is worse than genocide then it’s well it won’t change#you won’t die because I don’t vote for a genocider I fucking promise#your student loans won’t kill you losing access to hrt won’t kill you having to use the wrong bathroom won’t kill you#some people are dying in war zones some people are homeless some ppl are starving every day. GET A GRIP#y’all r the most selfish and racist people I’ve ever seen holy shit#.txt#asks#anons#don’t talk to me like I don’t get it like I’m not a trans person in the south. FUCK YOU. I’m not responsible for losing my own rights

Kamala Harris has made it clear what's at stake in this election. While Trump hides and plots revenge, 𝐬𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐩 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬. We deserve a President who is focused on our future, not personal vendettas.

I heard a report that said the large number of early voters should be a good sign for supporters of democratic candidates, however the AP is reporting that Trump supporters are "early voting" in record numbers. Don't trust someone else to do the job for you -- vote!

i don’t know how to explain to americans that they should also care about foreign policy
#like it or not. they have their grubby hands in global south countries#why do you think they have so many military bases worldwide#the cia is personally responsible for a clusterfuck of political issues in my own country#begging. BEGGING the vote blue no matter who cult to understand#that you’re not going to enact any meaningful change by voting blue every time#in fact they’ll have no incentive to change#because your vote is guaranteed every time anyway right?#you have to make them feel legitimately threatened by threatening to withhold your vote#maybe then they’d actually feel compelled to make better changes#idk. just my two cents as someone whose country is still feeling the aftermath of american interference even now#so anyway. fuck biden <3#cutting off funding to the unrwa at this crucial moment is complicity in genocide.#if you think this is about you… it probably is. please reflect on your personal politics#kei.txt

ONE MORE CURIOSITY POLL!
#bonus points please tell me which ones (if you have any)#i have Apple for the overflux and the griffin skin#i hate the pet skins bc i have visibility disabled (that's why i made that poll earlier lol) but i love that this one changes other mobs#DEEPLY considered the warden helmet skin but. i dont even have a warden helmet 😭#i dont buy them often bc 1) i rarely like them and 2) im trying to be a responsibly adult#but it turns out. spending money on things you like does improve your mood slightly#even if it is literally useless#having cash is great i love you job. plus i like my job yippee#chat#sb#i never used polls much even tho i promised i would so you're getting poll blasted#got boring watching all mine be 90% ''see results'' so the simple solution is. if you dont play skyblock you have no voting rights 😁
