#UP election results

[chappellrroan]

voters proving that there is still hope that us together as a country will always fight back and we will never let far rightist wings to overtake has got to be my favourite thing about 2024 elections

Liz truss (you know the pm who was outlasted by a lettuce) was just kicked out of her seat,

And it was quite delicious to see

i watched my lady jane and it's just like!!! amazing!!! spectacular!!!

i keep seeing people saying it fulfilled what bridgerton s3 couldn't and i ardently disagree with the notion that the two need to be compared, it does scratch a similar itch (jane reminds me of eloise so much and i love eloise so of course i love jane)

but if you are in the market for a witty period drama with some of the best romantic tension ever put to screen i would highly recommend

REFORM IS SECOND AGAIN. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE

[pigglepiephi]

Um Yod, Atom and Mudmee are literally the opposite of everything you’re saying here!

They aren’t cowards

They are actually really brave to try things though they are scared 👊

They don’t make excuses

Voicing their worries isn’t making an excuse 👌

They don’t give up

Even when they find things hard or scary, they keep trying. They are actually both really determined to complete the camp and support each other via the Eraser Alliance 🫶

I just don’t get what the message is supposed to be here, or why they made this change 🤔

Being afraid of stuff is ok, it doesn’t make you a coward 😊

Also das hatte ich mit "Vote Blue" eigentlich nicht gemeint.

i have said it irl and I'll say it here; the construction of the ram mandir was thier duty. ppl voted for bjp to get it built. once it was done, ppl had nothing else to look forward to in their manifesto, and no other developments were made in up, so ppl didn't vote for them again. compare it to working a 9-5. if you complete a difficult task, you're gonna get praise, maybe your name will be in for a promotion, but if you keep being consistent with your work, ppl will applaud you. If you just do the difficult task and nothing else, ppl will praise you, but you won't get a promotion

the ram mandir argument doesn't make much sense anyway. for one, ram mandir is in ayodhya but ayodhya itself is not a lok sabha constituency. the constituency is faizabad which is much bigger than ayodhya and have multiple other cities too. by all accounts, while work has been done to "better" ayodhya (which itself is debatable), the other cities have been ignored with no development for the past decade. so, the "hindus betrayed bjp" and "hindus betrayed hinduism and ram" argument would make a little bit more sense during the up elections when ayodhya is its own assembly constituency. and even then, it would be very weak cause who the fuck are you to decide how people follow their own religion? why do you think you know better than the people living there? you see the temple as the restoration of your faith, but the people who live there have lost their homes and their livelihoods so that the temple can be constructed. i highly doubt they love the temple or see it as god's kingdom when it came with that steep a price. also, in the words of certain people, the temple is about faith and religion. so why should people make a political decision based on its construction? religion and politics shouldn't go hand in hand. although most right wing people often forget this simple fact.

everytime the US singlehandedly vetoes a UN resolution that could offer Gaza even the slightest amount of humanitarian relief i am reminded of that stupidass post that was circulating a few weeks ago about how "framing the US as unique type of evil in the world is soooooo unfair and actually just another type of US centric view you guuuuuys". tumblr leftist are truly its own breed

Welp I can't say I'm pleased with the results so far but I sure am enjoying watching all the Torry cunts dropping like flies!

Sad disaster lesbian deserves more love (or just delicious angsty threads tbh). Like this post and I'll write you a random short starter and fling a couple of no-obligation memes your way (reply if you'd rather just one or the other).

Alternatively, take this as your prompt to hit me up for plotting!

It's just genuinely insane to me how anyone can think of the united states as anything other than a literal cult of death and personality at this point. an international power heavily relying on propaganda, selling the idea that to be an american is to be better, to be special, and that the rest of the (non white) world wishes it was self exceptional as they are, that nationalism is the only mindset and anyone who dare criticize the word of the leader (god) is to be punished, that the us is the strongest power in the world with how they starve their citizens and line the coffers of the government and the 1% with money they steal and the bodies and blood of their sick citizens which greases the cogs of the war machines they absolutely NEED to send overseas to kill children, a nation that sold itself on being free yet has done nothing but imprison poc for minor charges if they are not flat out executed in the streets, with a subset of people proudly bragging about the first amendment and free speech as long as its the right type of free speech, otherwise your colleges will disown you and will have the police beat and arrest you, with leaders that are decrepit and rotting old men with access to medical care that they work so hard to make sure the average citizen does not have access too as they tell you that it's your fault for not working your 3 jobs hard enough, leaders that work harder to make sure that trans kids are stripped of their rights and kids overseas are murdered than they do to even make the bare minimum effort of preventing the deaths of their supposedly holy war veterans, where everything is underfunded except for police and the military but even they need totally the money so pretty please pay your taxes so that we can continue to feed our bloodlust otherwise TERRORISM WINS please vote for your president so that we can decide what pr campaign sounds better in the pursuit of murdering non white people pretty pretty please keep playing pretend in thinking that the government and the supposed system of checks and balances has any real value, you totally have the power as a citizen to influence your leaders! now take your eviction notice with a smile, thank your bosses for letting you work, and give us your money

Hi! I wanted to let you know I'm not from India but your election posts have been very educational and I have been learning more about Indian politics in general so I can keep up. The fact that Modi is serving another term but failed to get the majority vote is a reminder that positive change is incremental at times and it might take multiple elections to get things moving in the direction we want. For me, this has reinforced the importance of voting in my own country's elections this year. I wish you health, luck and safety over these next 5 years and I hope the next government will be one that fulfils all your needs 🙏

[arodrwho]

whenever anybody says xyz is the new destiel putin election all i can think is that they either a) must not have actually been on tumblr that day or b) fundamentally misunderstood what made that day so wildly cathartic

[gammija]

i keep constructing elaborate political speeches in my mind. as if somehow if i could just talk to pvv-voters compellingly enough, explain to all of em why this is moronic on every level, they'd all suddenly find out that they're actually leftists at heart who just heard a few facts wrong
