#TRUMP WILL DO SO MUCH WORSE

[cometrose]

the supreme court is so comically evil like you really have to vote blue across the board they made it legal to criminalize homelessness, overturned chevron which means the extremely conservative courts get to override health officials and environmental regulations

like infant mortality has increased by 8% in some states post roe, they will avoid the trump immunity case as long as possible, they essentially shielded all the jan 6 rioters

if biden loses we could be stuck with 6-3 or 7-2 extremely conservative judges for decades!!! that could mean 40 years of social rights regulations and health codes thrown out the door!!! look how much we’ve lost in 8 years?

and what about pack the courts? you can’t pack the courts with this split congress you can’t pass roe laws with this split congress you really have to vote blue all the way

[megatraven]

we get it! okay!!!! you hate biden!!!!!! but when trump wins because you won't fucking vote for the only other viable option and makes things infinitely worse, that blood will be on YOUR hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck off!!

[greencarnation]

lesser evil for who? because i don't think it's the lesser evil for the gazan children being massacred or for the millions world wide who have been ravaged by us imperialism regardless of who was in the white house. the system is rotten to its core and simply voting blue once every 4 years will never save us

[spaghetti-spider]

I understand why people did not like Biden. I really do and I can agree with some of the points. But I would honestly go with a shitty dem than with someone who will gladly strip away my autonomy on day one. Now that chance has fucking skyrocketed. Hope you're ready to have blood on your hands.

My mom stopped doing therapy a few years ago and I wish that she hadn’t. I mean, a therapist isn’t going to help the fundamental issues, esp not at this point. Heck she was in therapy throughout my entire childhood and it’s not like that made her not abuse me. But her dad just died and she’s having lots of feelings about it and if she took those feelings to a therapist instead of me that would be great. But she flat out refuses every time my dad or I bring it up.

sometimes i feel like rn it's really understated just how bad things could be if trump wins. like, actually. i feel like it's being forgotten that despite how bad things are right now, they would surely get WORSE.

[badolmen]

The ‘vote blue no matter who!’ crowd is starting to get on my nerves. Like, I’m trying not to give away the game, but do they even know that we’re playing?

The point of loudly denouncing Biden and the Democrats NOW is to threaten them into stopping a fucking genocide that’s happening NOW. It is the only (legal) way we can threaten them as their constituents. It’s a game of fucking chicken! If the Dems were legitimately concerned about ceding office to Trump, they would take action NOW to try and recapture voters. But they don’t because they think they can get away with literal genocide and still win the Oval Office because voters like you are too chicken or too paralyzed to make a simple threat.

I don’t give a fuck what you do in the ballot box come November but jfc this is about collective bargaining and you cowards can’t even pretend to give enough of a fuck about a genocide to threaten your reps like??? Grow a fucking spine and do the bare fucking minimum of voicing your solidarity.

ok ignoring all the discourse about kamala harris this quote is like irrationally funny to me and me only probably. like to understand imagine ur australian and in order to prove that some random candidate is in touch with his australian roots to appeal to you there's an quote from some random famous guy "we spoke in flawless Australian English, "i said g'day mate' and 'thanks cunt' plus we had a scintillating discussion on vegemite" like yes sambar is a staple food but its also like the most surface level one imo. personally id go for rasam which is the blood of any southie.

the one thing ill give her is that this is very "i stopped speaking tamil as soon as i left home and now i sound like a white person whose learned three words out of a phrasebook" core and thats actually quite relatable. its funny to me personally that my grandparents are from the same city (chennai) that kamala harris' mom is from i mean its not rly suprising considering that like 6 million ppl live there but like imagine...maybe my grandma honked at shyamala gopalan on a two-wheeler in the 50s or smth.

note: this quote is from some random article in like 2020, personally i thought kamala harris was half white half black, and then assumed she was half northie so didnt care she was indian (tamil nationalism go brr) but then i found out she was a TAMIZHAR so obv i googled whether she could speak the language and then chanced upon the article which was just titled "i spoke briefly to kamala harris in tamil" or smth. anyway the original tamil isnt offensive only my australian approximation is. kamala auntie அமெரிக்காவை காப்பாற்ற.

Well i think we ALL should be threatening not to vote for Harris if she doesnt call for an arms embargo. Id say ceasfire but lets be real

I think we ALL should be putting our effort into applying pressure on ending a genocide, rather than pressuring people to vote for someone who not only seems to be going back on policies she said she stood for, but is also not proving she will actually do anything on the situation in Palestine

The voting hasnt happened. You can't get mad at people for AT LEAST threatening to not vote for her. Threatening. As in, no one has voted yet. So it's all talk right now.

If people dont end up vote for Harris it will be her own fault. Thats just how it works. What she says, but more importantly what she does, is what makes people vote for her just like any other candidate

we arent even asking that much. At the VERY least, is to stop sending weapons. 1 thing she and biden are capable of doing but have shown having no plans on even considering it.

Now, I dont know what im doing when it comes to voting bc theres a lot that can happen until then. im not thinking of what im going to do, im focused on helping to apply pressure. Ive sent emails and called. But even just talking about it can help.

Yes, if Trump wins it IS worse, beyond Palestine. For the planet, and everyone.

But the fact is that some people will not vote for her. That is a fact.

Another Fact is some people will vote for her only if they feel confident she will actually do something about the genocide.

These are facts. You don't even need a source for that

Why are you wasting your time on people who wont vote, instead of convincing the Hold Voters to vote for Kamala by making Kamala someone they will want to vote for?

WE arent dividing the vote. SHE is.

Worry about the blame game for after the election.

For now, help us get her to agree that the United states will stop sending weapons to Israel and/or keep the halt (of weapons), if by some miracle biden gets something done.

Idiots are still posting anti-voting rhetoric and trying to pretend thats the morally correct stance. Acting like advocating for voting for Harris is only coming from libs that dont care about Palestine.

If Trump had a better stance on Israel, i could at least understand the antagonism against voting Harris. Trump does not have a better stance on Israel. Trump thinks Biden hasnt helped Israel enough, so i dont think his plan is to help Palestine.

The reason the leftist choice for president is currently being decided on domestic issues is because the current biggest foreign affairs issue will not be solved by either candidate. There is no overlap of "politicians against the genocide in Palestine" and "people that could possibly be elected president in 2024".

The biggest domestic issue currently on the ticket, american democracy and the administrative state, has a clear winner if you care even the tiniest amount about democracy or our governments ability to function.

If you are planning to not vote for Harris, if you are encouraging people to "protest" the vote or vote 3rd party, you are choosing facism.

[linogram]

if harris doesnt win the person who does win wont be someone who supports palestine and a ceasefire, itll be someone who supports the genocide and even more policies that will put many minorities lives at risk

[cuckweeds]

god actually I don't think I can handle people saying "well trump would've been worse" every time I try to criticize kamala harris for the next 4 years just bc y'all have decided you can support her bc she's funny and memorable despite still unapologetically supporting a literal genocide. "well the genocide would be worse if trump-" SHUT UP SHUT SHUP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP THERES NO SUCH THING AS BETTER OR WORSE FOR GENOCIDE

"I didn't teach you to wish someone no matter how bad of a person they are to be dead"

Yeah, thanks for that, genuinely, but I also learned those same people wouldn't give a crap about us in '99 if we were just "mistakingly" bombed as casualty so. Yeah. Some bad people with so much power and no sense or care about regular people should not exist and I will not care for their lives if they don't care for thousands of others while even something as court or justice can't touch them. So fuck them. You thought me differently but the world doesn't share that viewpoint, unfortunately.

nooo american mutual dont put that stupid fucking post on my dash
