#we were voting for the future

[solvicrafts]

The USA is absolutely irredeemable as a country and let me be clear: even if Kamala somehow pulls a miraculous win out of thin air, I still very much mean what I just said.

Republicans are going to be in control of every aspect of our government. They've got the House and the Senate.

This country is DONE. It is over. We are past the point of no return.

We're not just fucking ourselves over, we're not just fucking our fellow countrymen over (you know, those who we think somehow DESERVE our hatred), we're fucking the entire world over.

I'm so tired, but so afraid to go to sleep because I don't want to face tomorrow. And I honestly can't imagine, as bad as I feel, how much WORSE a lot of people in this country and in Ukraine and Gaza are feeling right now.

Voters in the USA have proven that they are far more motivated by hate than by anything else.

68,028,208 people (as of right now) have shown that they hate:

Women <- this one is on top for a reason btw

The LGBT+ community

Anyone that is not white

People with disabilities

And for probably 99.9% of them... themselves!

more than they care about even staying alive (climate change, all of Project 2025, vaccines being fucking BANNED, etc.)

I don't even have the energy to hate all of those people. I just feel sad. Indescribably so.

My heart is mourning already for the millions of people that are going to die because of this election. And the millions more who will survive but at one hell of a cost.

why do americans always talk about electoral politics like election day is literally tomorrow. they do this even if someone JUST got elected and therefore they wont even be able to vote anyone in and out for another 4 years. do yall ever notice how nobody else ever punctuates their regional politics posts with 'and remember to vote' unless the post started with the sentence 'election day is coming up in [location]' (and "coming up" is like "within the next two months" not "sometime in the next few years"). are you like not allowed to talk about politics without talking about voting. is there ever any time where you can respond to anything a political leader does using any method other than voting in the next election (which is sometimes several years away and therefore doesn't actually help current and ongoing problems)???? its like as soon as the election is over the campaign for the next one starts. genuinely how do you all live like that. isnt there laws preventing candidates and donors from campaigning too far in advance of an election?? and if there isnt. well that would explain some things tbh

I keep getting a pro-gun political ad for a 'local' right-wing politician on here, and I keep reporting it. This is where I post about the idea of our utopic space future where children aren't regularly endangered/gunned down because of greedy politicians and political machinations

We could move towards that now, and therefore pro-gun ads are both malicious and offensive

Seeing posts about the current situation (war) in Israel, describing the events from two very opposite sides, is the main reason you see nothing of it on my blog.

in finland our biggest pride event canceled their partnership with our biggest political party because the party hadn't voted in agreement about our new trans law (to allow self-ID and remove requirement of being sterile (yeah really)) (the party had ruled it a “matter of conscience” and abt 1/3 voted against), and now our news are full of the members of that party being pissed abt it and our likely next prime minister commenting how this is “sad and offends many people”, and ppl are flocking to lament and mock how pride is so intolerable and how u have to have 100% correct opinions in order to participate and i'm

OK I think if any polls don't get any votes then I'll make a post to see which of the movies people have seen and I'll rearrange the bracket to try and accommodate things so at least one person can vote. If no one responds having seen one of them then it'll just be eliminated.

As much as I am voting for Harris because no one would survive a second Trump term, this is extremely valid. Especially since Harris did call for a ceasefire in her acceptance speech but didn't bother to allow a Palestinian speaker to come up on stage. I was genuinely disappointed at the hypocrisy.

Dnc refusing to allow a Palestinian to speak even if their speech is vetted and reviewed by dems before they go up but will allow israelis to come speak and will even take pictures with them... the mere presence of Palestinians offends them, yet all you dem supporters still want us to vote for them lmao.
