#someone vote that they all live

[itzshrike]

If you saw my previous poll, no you didn’t. This one’s new and improved

#star wars #the bad batch #tbb echo #tbb crosshair #tbb hunter #tbb omega #tbb wrecker #everyone’s betting on Hunter 😂 #tbb batcher #someone vote that they all live #i am also delusional #tech will be alive and they save him and k*ll hemlock #and then go retire and watch omega grow up #they might also rescue dogma #I just want everyone to know that if they all do live #everyone who voted that option gets bragging rights #omega definitely ain’t gonna be the one #upon review of my writing skills I came to the conclusion that I’m stupid #maybe #the none of them option is worded wrong for my question #I hope Yall got the gist of it tho

"Biden is the best choice and he's actually really empathetic and reasonable but also you can't wait for a candidate that won't do genocide and war crimes because to become a presidential candidate you have to be willing to do that" see what you fundamentally don't understand is I'm not waiting for a candidate that won't do war crimes, because I know that. I cannot morally stomach this system, it's a joke to claim its democratic, and AMERICA DELENDA EST. this country is a plague on this Earth

#cipher talk #It's baffling because okay so you know how fucked up this is but you're behaving in a way that clearly indicates you want that this shambli #Disgusting empire to cling to life until after you're dead because it'd make /you/ uncomfortable and inconvenienced #To live through its destruction (the wealthier classes and more privileged experience lesser material changes in state collapse so long as #They aren't too highly ranked/involved in politics. A Sri Lankan wrote an article specifically addressing Americans about this) #It's so dehumanizing! People's blood is so cheap to you! You've just accepted its inevitable that genocide will happen! #Because of how the US operates! You can see no other future! It hardly matters to you! #You say this like the death of Palestinians of Yemenis of Syrians is someone else's dropped ice cream cone #You understand why people hate this country and you understand we deserve it but it just. Hardly matters to you #It feels like madness to watch this. It's disgusting #I keep thinking- it'd be so easy for you to justify my people being killed if violence broke out and it was in your favor #It's unlikely because. Well. America loves 'the church of the martyrs' #But you'd do it if that was favorable. You wouldn't think twice. You might feel a twinge in your heart but that's all #Because we aren't people to you! #We aren't all that important! Not important enough for you do anything more than 'well let's vote a blue in and do some protests' #What's a protest worth if you perpetuate the system and can't see a way out and don't try for a way out? #That's killing a man then putting flowers on his casket. It's /perverse/. #You get used to the idea that Africans die that West Asians die and that's just the way of the world. My g-d do you understand anything?? #I watch necrosis take hold my parts of my culture and I watch every good person I know be ground to dust under a military regime #I talk to my friend who got drafted and is trans and may never come out because if they do they can get arrested as a 'prostitute' #I watch the wild hope for the future I was introduced to over radio at 9 years old wither #I watch people risk it anyway because just past the fence they can see they know there are people there #I watch my neighbor to the south crumble and weep because our hands are bloody and it's in part because we bloodied them for the west #And you just think that's how things are. #Fascist white death cult mindset

There's already a ton of election software or websites with names corresponding to "voting buddy" or similar

but I'd like a term for a person or group you've made an agreement with to each support and enable the other to vote. A source of mutual encouraging reminders (and maybe mild guilt about not meeting an expectation)

Any and all suggestions welcome. It would be great if there was a catchy name so this could become an accepted Thing

#voting #us politics #us elections #or any elections really #there are a lot of really clever people on this site i'm sure someone can vome up with something decent #like just a word for a person who works like a school fieldtrip buddy #the mutually voluntary human equivalent of a post-it note for each of you #or for a whole group? a groupchat or email chain even #just someone to check in and ask oh hey you voted yet? and idk offer help if there's an issue like #offer a ride or to watch the kids or to meet up and make it a fun get-together thing so it's not drudgery #could be anybody: friend parent co-worker random guy you see at the dogpark #bc it's not about *how* you're voting but just that you DO #saw somebody on here saying yeah they live in ny so it won't matter if they vote #which - tell me without telling me you don't care about local elections for one thing #but also uh can you maybe remember a time when counting the actual 'popular vote' actually became a really big deal??? #for the entire nation even? #the us does not have ranked voting or required voting we need all the voter encouragement and support we can get

tumblr centrist liberals stop acting like voting is the most influential and important political activity you can participate in challenge

#me donating to mutual aid posts on tumblr and donating esims to people in gaza has done worlds more influence than any vote i ever did #people who risk their lives in protests do more than voting #i firmly believe that #this isnt a Voting is Pointless post this is Voting is the Barest Minimum #voting is easy. when there’s no outside barriers its so fucking easy. #you fill in a card and call it a day. its easy to feel like you made a difference when all you did is fill in some dots. #yall barely even follow up on who you vote for or even Care if the people you vote for fail you #its the perfect thing for weak liberals to attach to #treat it like the be all end all with activism and you have the easiest get out of real political action card #no need to get your hands dirty if you did all you needed to #as someone who DOES vote. voting is the easiest political thing i engage with. everything else is a risk. or at least a sacrifice. #voting is barely anything to me. i dont feel like i do Anything with it. but donating. making political art. THATS something. thats REAL. #i would go to big protests if i lived somewhere with them #like i understand. wanting voting to be enough. im a heavily depressed bitch who feels like they cant engage with anything big or important #i know tumblr is full of those types. yall dont want to do anything. yall dont want to be uncomfortable or upset or anything negative. #personal comfort above all else. thats what tumblr is. thats what centrist liberals are. there’s no real desire to break out- #of the comfort zone or status quo respectively. yall are scared to get Involved. and i am too. but with how current events are going… #i can see that i don’t want to be that anymore. i know i need to be more than that. its hard and risky but i Need to. #and so do yall. yall NEED to engage with activism outside of voting. or you’re doing nothing. #txt

Idk I just think maybe if u assume every person disagreeing with you is a npc or a robot u might just be stupid or something. Learn more ok?

#can’t be assed to phrase this tactfully #just like #like yeah I know there are literal neural networks dedicated to writing dumbass shit for click farming #however a good chunk of the dumbass opinions you see do in fact come from people just as complex as you are #at least fucking try to understand why other people hold the beliefs they do #this was prompted by seeing someone unironically call a Palestinian a Russian bot #when they criticized a trolly problem that presented the people of Palestine as acceptsble #collateral damage #like it’s a deeply callous image and it’s fucking insane to present ‘’we will technically be killing fewer people’’ as a reason 2 vote 4 u #like god where is the fucking line for you. how many thousands of peop #will be buried before you grow up and realize intentionally killing people is a unacceptably bad thing actually #but like it’s a general problem and I beg people to try and understand that they aren’t the only Real human being on planet earth #there’s billions of apes on this fucking planet. all just as complex as you. with lives that are both similar and alien to what you know

#no but literally like some of these vote biden or pick the lesser evil people scare me like do you know absolutely nothing will change #whoever gets voted ? all that will happen is you will be content in knowing you picked someone “progressive” meanwhile ppl in the global #south will still get bombed the lives of majority of the americans will still be worse #sickening to see so many people who are directly suffering as a result of biden tell you what to do but you treat it as an opportunity to be #mean on twitter to get likes literally just kill yourself #notebook

[cryptidspaz]

bruh

#bro im sorry but queer liberation is tied to the liberation of our palestinian families #i am not voting for biden because of his lgbt policies when his same decisions are enabling the genocide of our palestinians brothers & sis #personal #its all connected bitch #how can say we should vote someone who would protect /our/ rights over the rights & lives of another entire people? #u guys think of politics as too black & white #u cannot seperate the 'good acts' (aka bare minimum protections tht r barey enforced) from the 'bad acts' #(aka FUNDING AN ENTIRE ACTUAL GENOCIDE) #they are not on the same fucking level at all. #i refuse to be even more complicit than the state already forces me to be

#i feel like im gonna pass out #do antivoting people really think that anyone on this website thinks voting in US elections is going to solve all our problems #is it a failure to grasp the concept of damage control/harm reduction? is that what's going on? #fucking hell you guys i'd vote in any election if it meant that a single persons life materially improved 😭 #if it gets 1% easier to get disability income or a dozen fewer people are deported than last year or what fucking ever tiny difference #those are Real Human Lives that probably aren't yours and that you can easily pretend don't exist or matter for your shitty high ground #but i personally i want people to be safe. and i don't think that making a theoretical point to someone who doesn't care is worth it.

I don’t know if this is what you are looking for exactly, but I enjoy writing for Postcards to Voters because they focus on non-presidential races. I am currently writing postcards against an anti-choice constitutional amendment proposition in Ohio.

I wish more people would do things like that, instead of making posts that guilt trip people for not being excited enough about voting for the Blue sexual harasser instead of the Red one.

Thank you for your highly sensible response.

I guess there's a thing where "just because someone takes 15 seconds to shoot their mouth off online about something that's annoying them doesn't mean they have the time/energy to do anything actually constructive, even more so for the people who took .5 seconds to hit reblog now on someone else's shooting their mouth of post" but I think it would be strictly better for people to spend that .5 second exerting a smidgen of self control and going "either it's actual GOTV or it's not, and if it's not I'm going to not reblog it."

And as the election is over a year away...I don't think "vote blue no matter who" is actually a Get Out The Vote action at this point in time. It's annoying enough when people do it in person but at least then there's occasionally some chance of having a reasonable discussion about it, but on social media between people who don't really know each other? Ha snowball's chance in hell.

(I haven't done Postcards to Voters the last couple years, but I did around 2019-2020 or so and they are fairly low barrier to entry as long as you have stamp money, super introvert friendly, you can be as creative or non-creative as you want to be, and as you can do it from your home on your own schedule pretty darn spoonie friendly as well. As well as covid-safe. And yes, there's a big focus on local/state campaigns, which warms my participatory democracy loving little heart.) (ughh sounds like an important campaign maybe I should pick this thing up again.)

#I did big posts arguing about this in 2000 but I felt crummy afterwards so I'd really rather not rehash all that #it's theoretically and pragmatically wrong on multiple levels #this is the internet you don't get unity #you get two splinter groups arguing the two most extreme ends of the position possible each side convinced that they are 100% right #someone who's a little bit in favor of voting blue no matter who will get downright dogmatic about it #someone who's a little bit against will end up surrounded by anarchists who think voting is a waste of time #which wouldn't be the worst outcome ever #except that as far as I can tell most of the most vocal anarchists on tumblr don't do shit except tear down democratic politicians #like ok glad you think you're right I don't want to have anything to do with you though #there's like 2-3 anarchist posters on here who actually talk about direct action and organizing and stuff -- about things people can do #I guess with the abundance of time freed up by not spending a couple hours doing research and half an hour filling out a ballot #or much much less time than that if they're voting just for the president #yup congrats you sure saved a lot of time there now you have more time to convince other people to not vote either AWESOME GOOD JOB (sarcas #on an unrelated note I really need to work on a following the local news habit #and finding some way to learn more about oakland's history since I live here now #and I know how annoying it can be when someone's trying to be active in local politics but is missing highly important context

KYRSTEN SINEMA ISN'T RUNNING FOR REELECTION, YEE-FUCKING-HAW

#i'm ALMOST disappointed bc i helped vote her in and i was looking forward to voting someone else in and ousting her #but the most important thing is that she fucks off somewhere #i'll take anything that accomplishes that goal #god. such a colossal disappointment. #bitch honestly campaigned so hard on her being a progressive purple-haired bisexual #then pulled All Of That Shit #i don't have trust in politicians as a rule but if i did that woulda bruised it bad #as it is i've been looking at people in the running with a heavy dose of wariness #how do we know it won't be sinema 2.0 huh??? #anyway. goodbye kyrsten you will not be missed you party-flopping turtle-curtsying heeldragger. u made our lives worse and i hope u suffer.

[gibbearish]

it is fascinating seeing ppl say "if you still vote biden just bc he's protected trans rights youre putting your own rights above that of the other people he'll kill" bc i'm like. well that operates under the assumption the Not Biden Option won't be killing those same other people Plus Trans People and given the history of presidents i would say that is a. how should i say this. wild fucking assumption? like idk framing it as "hello transgender, would you rather kill a bunch of non-americans or a bunch of fellow trans people. oh, you don't want to kill trans people? so you personally want to kill non-americans? racist selfish piece of shit" seems uhhhhh disingenuous at absolute best and a psyop at worst

#like my dudes we are literally in the trolley problem as we speak #do you think we like. enjoy living in a country where voting is just 'which one do you think will kill less people'? #ur standing there saying 'if you pull the lever then the guy who tied those people to it will take that as a sign he did the right thing' #and its like. idk i dont think he wouldve tied them there to begin with if he didn't already think he was in the right i gotta be real w u #or honestly its less the trolley problem and more just #'you have access to the orphan crushing machine control panel. theres no off switch but there is a speed dial which is cranked all the way #up. do you turn it down?' #where if you try to turn it down someone will pop up going 'youre such a piece of shit for killing those orphans by adjusting the speed #rather than destroying the machine' #and if you try to point out that the machine is a trillion times bigger than you‚ is made of titanium‚ and has defensive turrets #that gets brushed off as making excuses #and its like.. well ok why arent /you/ destroying it then asshole youre just standing around talking about how #eomeone should blow it up already but youre not even willing to turn down the dial much less actually blow it up #and i dont think turning down the dial does tell the guy who made the machine that it was a good machine to make‚ actually #and especially given how many other people are in their control rooms cranking the dial higher and higher‚ yeah i think ill turn mine down #origibberish

random and unnecessary bloodshed towards minorities is good when its my side advocating for it

-tankies

#someone on youtube was literally like 'bloodshed is normal to happen' in regards to trump winning over not voting for biden #dawg??????? you're a straight up fascist telling yourself you're a leftist. thats all there is to you. #'killing thousands of innocents is fine as long as i get to larp about my perfect utopia' shut the fuck up and step the fuck down #you should never be trusted with power in your LIFE #i repeat: id rather be fighting for a better world while theres still some amount of peace left vs while its ACTIVELY BLOWING UP #i kinda just feel like thats a very unproductive environment and everyones gonna give more of a fuck about their personal survival #than about making society better. at this point i cant help but think you're a psyop if you're like this. #'minorities dying in the streets bc i decided accelerationism is better? no biggie. this is what ive trained my apathy for! for this very #moment! so that i may finally seize power for myself- i mean justice and make the world how i want it- i mean make the world a #better place and not feel bad about the lives lost at all!!!!!! !! ! #numbing yourself from all empathy and love for other humans is good guys i swear !!!!!!!!!!!!!!' #at this point im no longer desperately pleading for any of you to give a single fucking shit. now im just disappointed and ultimately #fucking DISGUSTED with the type of people you are. what a disgrace to humanity.

I hope this helps you with your senior quote!

-⚙️

!!! I know this is a few days late because submissions for senior quote have already ended, but! I greatly appreciate this :)

Whenever that long post comes along with all the wild quotes tumblr has pulled together it's so fun to read through and see what's been created. All of these quotes tickle my fancy! Though you already know that I went with something different.

When it comes to things like that I prefer not to take it too seriously. Which. I'm aware is like. a much less vulnerable thing to do than the people who pick quotes that are genuinely meaningful to them or reflect themselves and share that with the world (limited world made of people who purchase that one specific yearbook). and I do find vulnerability important. But also it's a senior quote, it's not that serious and it's just the only time in my life I'll have a senior quote so. No biggy! I can be vulnerable and open in other ways, like sharing every single thought I've ever had on tumblr.

I had a point where was I going with this. Anyway. I appreciate the collection of quotes. While they weren't quite what I was looking for, I do still find these lovely and amusing to look through! So thank you for compiling them!

#quil's queries #⚙️ nonsie #quotes #long post #i know what one other person put as their quote #but i'm curious what everyone else did #also they're doing the superlatives thing #you know like 'who's got the best smile?' and then whoever gets the most votes wins that category and its in the yearbook #and I. abstained from voting 1. because i don't actually know everyone that well. at least not well enough for the categories they chose #and 2. because they separated best smile and best dressed by male/female :/ #but I do know. that i am currently winning. in at least one if not two categories #so. there's that #because my teacher has access to the answers as they come in #we all laughed that the class bootlicker got one single vote under best activist #and someone went ??? did he vote for himself??? because like. dude. you are not an activist. you think bIue lives matter #anyway i got distracted again but thanks for the quote!

looking at the notes of that last poll was a mistake

#shay speaks #something something the concept of race is actually incredibly useless in these types of contexts because its way more complicated #than people would like to believe it is. and its going to be different depending on a lot of factors #including where someone lives and what types of prejudices are expressed there #ie someone can look white (like the saami people of northern europe) to an american but be treated as not white by the people in their hom #e countries. #also biological race isnt a thing and the perpetuation of it as a concept within medical and political spheres is actively perpetuating #racism and the enforcement of social race and to dismantle the race concept we still have a long way to go #anyway i think race as a concept is fucking bullshit so i wouldnt vote in that poll anyway (i didnt lmao bc its complicated) #is it something that affects people? absolutely racism is real and a systemic problem that is built on the race concept #and in order to get to the root of the problem we have to essentially eliminate that concept of race in the first place which is. a long lo #g way off and probably wont happen in our lifetimes but we can work towards that end goal #<- all of this is not even close to my entire thoughts on this but you cannot just say its an easy yes or no question #bc while i am white enough people wont think much of me until i mention being indigenous #and then the treatment entirely flips because now people have a whole bunch of other thoughts on my appearance
