Everything Republicans accuse Democrats of doing is something they're doing. They're masters of projection. They're liars and hypocrites, and they're destroying the country they claim to love, because if they actually believed in the will of the people and didn't fuck with elections they'd never win again, and they know it. And they'd never win again because their policies of fucking over the majority to enrich the minority aren't actually that popular.

"if voting worked they'd make it illegal"

meanwhile, in the real world:

Take the worst people from Russia and the worst people from America, and they share the exact values.

There's a reason I fucking hate Republicans. This isn't a problem in the rest of the developed world.

There are a fair few faux feminist statements I hate, but “We are the daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn” is one of them.

Whatever happens, two things remain true: 1. Trump might be distancing himself from Project 2025, but his Agenda 47, which is on his website, is basically the same thing. 2. Third party voting is useless without ranked choice voting; it's mathematically impossible to elect a third party candidate. DO NOT SPLIT THE VOTE.

people say folks with adhd struggle with "delayed rewards" aka long term goals and as such we tend to focus more on short term rewards. what they don't talk about is that at when we Do accomplish long term goals we don't actually feel anything proportionate to the amount of work we did to achieve it. In my head I suffered for a while and then money spontaneously appeared in my bank account.

Went to the Aboriginal artifact exhibit in Chicago. And it’s interesting. How many blankets and masks and totem poles say ‘unknown source’, because every five seconds my mom would stop and point to something and say. “Pauline’s grandmother made that,” or, “That belongs to Mike’s family, I should call him” because. It’s all stolen

A big Good Luck out there to people who are going to get unfairly punished because they live or work with with right-wing abusers or conspiracy theorists. Teens and Children especially. Be careful and watch what you say, and don't let your parents take their distress out on you. Your number one priority is to keep yourself safe.

Seriously, I don't understand Conservatives.

we are literally all ab to be so fucked.

no one wants to vote for biden, literally no one trust me, but this is the alternative that we’ll end up living in. this could very well be the last election the united states sees for a very very long time.

fucking vote, but really think carefully ab where your vote is going.

Tip for all new witches and pagans: every so often there's somebody who pops up claiming they've seen apocalyptic visions that should be taken very seriously, or have some kind of very special insider knowledge into what's up in the spirit world, or claim they're fighting these cosmically important spiritual battles. These people are always full of shit; ignore them and move on.

Anti-voting rhetoric will be the death of the left. Literally.

Not a single fucking Republican voted to protect roe. It was fucking overturned in the first place bc trump got three Supreme Court appointments.

Every fucking thing wrong in this country is almost certainly the result of Republicans being in power. In 2020, Texas cut half of the polling places in black neighborhoods, and doubled them in white ones, regardless of population. It was Republicans bitching about mail in voting, and constantly, constantly fearmonger about voter fraud. Literally, their platform is about making civil rights harder to practice.

Would you like to know why? It’s because Republican politicians know better than anyone that higher voter participation means higher republican loss.

But what do I see from the online left, champions of the oppressed?

“Voting doesn’t do anything, the parties are the same, the system is rigged, etc, etc”

Don’t sit here and tell me you give a fuck about marginalized people if you aren’t ready to march your ass to the voting booth and vote out the party actively stripping their rights away.

Protest, donate, community build, unionize, and vote, vote, vote.

By the time direct action is the only option, it will be too fucking late.
