people dont talk enough about how heartbreaking the marlon betrayal mustve been for clem too,,
this dude saves the life of her and her kid. takes them in has them patched up gives them their first hot meal in who knows how long. gives them a safe place to stay. possibly permanently. confides in her that hes trying to be a good leader but feels like and fears that hes failing. asks her to help him take care of the rest of the group. helps her get over her fear of dogs by asking her to trust him. and things go well. she feels safe. like this place could really finally be the home shes been looking for
but as soon as she finds out what happened to the twins. that marlon planned on giving up her and aj too. she immediately becomes a liability to him and he attempts to kill her for it. locks her in the basement to die by walker. then tries to turn the group against her so he can shoot her instead when the first method fails. and he nearly succeeds
then a majority of the group turn against clem the minute aj kills marlon. ignoring marlons mistakes but condemning aj for his. like clem wasnt betrayed by marlon in the exact same way he betrayed the twins. like she literally wasnt almost killed twice? and how long had he been considering giving her up? was it always some contingency he planned? did he truly want to keep them around and things only changed when he feared the raiders had returned? she'll never know

The question was never "Should Biden lose my vote over what he's done in Palestine?" You fucking idiots, it's always been "Do trans and gay people, people of color, women, immigrants and disabled people in america deserve to be killed, oppressed, jailed, executed, outed, starved, evicted, abused, silenced and ignored because I choose to abstain from doing my part to keep their rights afloat when I know the enemy is doing ten fold theirs to put someone who will cause all that destruction in power?". It's always been that.
Did you all conveniently forget project 2025 or should I remind you? Project 2025 is a political plan put in place but the majority Republican caucus that should, and I'm not exaggerating, turn America into a dictatorship with the president at the very top if they win the upcoming election. Sweeping anti-trans and anti-gay laws, multiple supreme court justices plan on retiring so young little bribable and naive Republicans can be put in place for the next 30 years, they plan on rolling back the right to gay/interracial/interfaith marriages as well as fully legalizing child marriage, a national ban on abortion, consolidation of power to the presidential seat, huge cuts to Medicare and social security, bans on anyone under the age of 25 viewing trans and gay content, bans on sites like TikTok and Tumblr and other hubs of lgbt people, bans on pride, bans on more and more important books. If they have their way, gen alpha might not learn the horrors of slavery and the holocaust. Maus has been banned. I don't know how to express how dangerous it is to choke the flow of information.
If the Democrats lose the upcoming election, there may not be another election.
I don't know how else to stress that.
What Biden has done in Palestine is terrible, unforgivable and criminal. What trump will do when he wins is continue the genocide of Palestinians 10-fold and start a genocide on American soil of every oppressed group you can think of. People will die regardless, you again are forced with the lesser of 2 evils. The genocide will continue regardless. It's hard to hear but it's the facts. If Biden loses because you all decided your ego was more important than millions of lives, I will remind you that voteing is the most basic act you can do. It's small and it's rough but it's the smallest act you can commit. Its literally psyop shit to fall for the most basic shit of "don't vote". Vote. Fucking vote.
Because if you don't vote, in four years, alot of your peers will be dead and they can't vote or protest as corpses. And you let them become that by abstaining from voteing and letting a dictator win. Vote to protest and petition and fight another day. Vote so I and many others can live. Vote. There will be two genocides and you'll be complacent again and it'll be, quite literally, your fucking fault.
The least you can do for any war or genocide is vote.

Idk hot take for a Saturday morning, but maybe people shouldn’t be SO quick to switch to a mentality of: “well I’m not voting at all” about American politics in regards to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict/genocide just bc America has had its dick in those affairs LONG BEFORE fucking Biden Presidecy and people are seemingly just NOW feeling publically vocally outraged about it bc it’s in the forefront news (as you should be), but maybe also let’s use our fucking brains for a moment if you are American:
we should, and can easily, also still focus on that which is in our own backyard, if you don’t vote fucking blue, because green/third parties are not actually viable in the deeply established two party system we have had for CENTURIES, we get fucking DeSantis or some other horrible Fascist Republican and then America is going to have its own genocide against LGBTQ+ people, fascism goes up, continued attacks against drag/immigrants/etc.
You also know damn well that any Republican, If one were president, would be doing the same fucking thing of providing aid to Israel, so I guess personally I’m just confused as to why everyone is surprised biden is doing the same.
You can and should support a free Palestine, and hold contempt for Israel and condemn their actions, AND also know that voting blue is Americas literal only chancE RIGHT CURRENTLY NOW this upcoming year, to remain somewhat of a democracy instead of a ChristoFascist regime, especially with Biden being one of the ONLY blue candidates like… our hands are TIED
Like YEAH it’s gonna fucking suck to vote for Biden but like you also gotta fucking Buck up sometimes and do things you don’t particularly WANT to do. It’s called duality and compromising in life and sometimes it’s fucking unavoidable.
But idk what the fuck do I know 🤪 I’m just a girl who thinks maybe you shouldn’t just fucking give up one of your only recognized rights in America just because some actions you can’t control from a crusty old moderate blue white man in a country whose affairs are more complicated than your messiest situationship is upsetting (rightfully so, I might add) you

People call communists like nihilists and hopeless and shit and then get all "well the democrats are helping commit genocide but what other choice do we have but to vote for them : / revolution will never happen : /" like god fuck you guys. Capitalism is not immortal the US will not last forever Palestine will be free. Your hopelessness isn't rational or helpful. "Things can't change!" Isnt smart tactical politics it is giving up

Your tags on the post telling Biden voters to keep Palestine out of their mouths are so incredibly rude; you're doing exactly what they said not to. Saying that they aren't looking at the bigger picture? Trying to explain how voting works like everyone but you is an idiot?
It's clear the genocide and brutalization of tens of thousands doesn't mean shit to you. How selfish can you be. If you don't care about Palestine, at least have the dignity to not go onto posts like that to tell everyone you think you're more important than them.
fun fact. When someone puts something in tags. You don’t have to read them. Anyways,
Is it selfish to care about every life, and not just one group? my brother in christ I wasnt explaining things like I thought they were stupid, because then I would have CALLED them stupid. I was making a point that yes, there are so many better fucking options and I fully support. but there are also risks to them and that THAT is why people struggle with this fucking decision. Because there’s fucking nuance.
You are painting an image of me in your head that makes you mad because you want people to be mad at. You want people you can point at and cry wolf when it’s nothing more than a dog.
Putting the rest under a read more because the people who don’t give a fuck and decide that they prefer being only reactive, don’t even have to bother reading what I’m saying, they can just go ahead and block me right goddamn now. Because I’m not here to appease people and I won’t pretend I am.
I do care about Palestine. An incredible amount, actually. And I also happen to care about the citizens of my own country and other countries alongside it. And I was sharing my thoughts on a matter that can have far larger consequences than we’re fucking considering.
You are the person who cannot see the bigger picture because you think that just because people are drowning in an ocean, we shouldn’t also try to prevent and help people who are drowning in what comparatively might be a kiddie pool.
They are all drowning regardless, and I am of the belief that harm of any kind, not just one specific situation, should not happen at all.
Also, if you read the tags so thoroughly like you think you did,
you would have seen the part that says you can just block & ignore me if you didn’t like what I was saying.
and if you take such large issue with what I say, then you should’ve taken your ass off anon because this could’ve been just between me and you. But now it’s gonna be between everyone who sees it, because while I know not to feed the trolls, this troll has made me think that maybe I need to directly fucking say what I think should be fucking said.
if you refuse to comprehend what I say that is on you. If you get mad because of that, it is on you. If you continue to respond only REACTIVELY and not PROACTIVELY, that. Is on. You.
