I'm just a girl... trying to find a place in this world. Hi, I'm Julia. I'm an artist, musician and OG Swiftie returning to Tumblr after being gone for... a while . Happy {insert day of the week here}!
I assure you Americans that elections and politics suck worldwide, and not just for you. Save from a few cases here and there, candidates are always either too old, too shady, or just too stupid.
But more than candidates, you are voting for their policies.
It's your duty to vote for the better or just the lesser evil policy among them.
The "two sides are equally awful" is seldom true and it's just a lie to excuse passivity.
You have a duty for your marginalized folks and yourself to make your society better or at least stop it from getting worse.
Biden has quite a interesting history of progressive policies done, while Donald Trump is just a convicted fellow, darling of white supremacy, and the god of religious freaks.
There's no place on Earth where these candidates are the same.
Even if your hate Biden based on his softness with the current Far-right government of Israel, Trump is cherished by Israel far-right, is deeply Islamophobic, and even use Palestinian as an insult. He will be even worse for Palestine.
You have to vote, you have to exercise your civic duties. The two parties aren't the same and saying that is just an excuse for passivity.
It won't fix the world I assure you. There will still be things to be one. You still will have to protest, to get involve with politics, to help good policy be made and set in motion. But just voting is the first, and most important step for it.
for some strange reason I feel the need to apologize for Taylor's decision to mash these two up, as if I had any say in her doing this, so to all the Ivy and WCS stans I give you my condolences
this is so embarrassing. i want to love & be loved & drink really nice tea & eat really nice pasta & not feel like the loneliness is a part of me anymore. i want a herb garden
its horrid that gazans have to post their private, painful moments of saying farewell to their dead families. its so fucking terrible they have to post it online instead of being allowed privacy - and all so that the west can see their suffering because it doesnt even believe them. and even when they show it openly, the west still lies and fabricates lies and fake narratives. they literally have to humanize themselves. what the fuck. how does this not fill you with anger
