#never vote conservative

[senseofright]

To Conservatives who play apologetics for Donald Trump here is a list of people and things he doesn’t respect:

Our troops

Our veterans

Liberals

Conservatives who don’t make conservatism about him

NATO

The international community

Immigrants

Bureaucrats and civil servants

Rule of law and fair courts

Budget austerity and economic stability

YOU

While I absolutely and whole heartedly disagree with Biden on many, many, issues, it is for the health of our party, our international reputation, and of the country that conservatives do not back Donald Trump.

Just a week into the US election year of 2024, and I'm already seeing some Takes™ on my dash.

Please. No.

I know you hate your options, guys, but third party will not win. They simply won't, not in 2024, no matter how much you wish they would. Building that kind of voting power takes time, and with the current voting-suppression systems and gerrymandering in place, you're just not there yet.

And you know the people who are tempted to try it anyway are the people on the left and some lost-looking centrists. And you know that taking those votes away from the Democrats while the people on the right turn up to vote en-mass as they always do means that Trump will win.

I cannot overstate how much you can't let that happen. You can't.

You can feel betrayed and be frustrated with the Biden government all you like, but you can't hand that position of power back to Trump and the conservatives. People will suffer. People will die. Within your own country and globally.

If you seriously think Trump in power will mean less genocide and fascism in the world, I'm sorry, but you're straight up delusional.

Please think really hard about what narratives you're buying into, supporting and spreading this year. Not immune to propaganda etc. People who try to cloud your judgment by appealing to your anger and sense of helplessness, telling you not to vote, or vote third party may genuinely believe what say - or they're manipulating you into throwing your vote away. Either way, the end result is the same.

And frankly - the choice is yours, but if you intend to chase the third party pipedream right now and thereby allowing a fascist government to take over and dictate global politics for the next four years at least (provided their next insurrection isn't successful, leaving them in power indefinitely...)

Then kindly unfollow me. Right now.

I have zero patience for the leftist "perfect or nothing" mindset when the alternative is outright open and proud fascism. No fucking dithering. You have one job this year. You can either vote for the lesser evil like a fucking grownup and then work within the system for further change, or get right out of my face.

That's all.

#people voting 'third party' got a nationalist right-wing party in power in my country #they're suggesting banning mosques #they're talking about exiling pretty much anyone not born here #it's a shitshow #and with your ultra-religious conservatives #you'd better believe the right will come for the queer and neurodivergent people hard #this isn't a fucking game #you either do everything in your fucking power to keep fascists out of your government #or sit right down and never pretend to care about human rights again #this has been a fucking rant #may delete later #real world bullshit

I love living in the conservative chamberpot of Canada where the cons here constantly white Ukrainian Canadian history to dismiss racism and make out Ukrainians as what all prairie folk should be, constantly use our ancestors’ hardships as part of their bootstraps narrative, compare everything to the Holodomor and the soviet oppression of Ukrainians, and constantly make themselves out as the party for us, but then when the war actually breaks out and we’re looking to protect our families and homeland of our people, so many of those same conservatives stood for russia and made Ukrainians into the next cog of the Q anon plot

#rant #sorry #obviously could be worse #and better here than being bombed #but god am I tired of everything my family went through being handwaved away #because we became the doll of the prairie conservatives #who couldn’t keep our trauma out of their mouths #yet never acknowledged what Ukrainians endured here #except for when it’s to shut down modern day criticism #and then after sucking up to us for votes #after using our family stories to claim canada a dictatorship #they drop us #because a former US president likes putin #and Russia stands against them lgbtqueues #ukrainophobia #ukrainian canadian #canada #fuck conservatives #western canada

[tic-loud-tic-proud]

Why am I seeing so many posts on here encouraging young USAmerican leftists not to vote. Most of which boil down to "The best way to tell the government what you want is to not vote!!"

#oddly enough i never see posts encouraging young USAmerican conservatives not to vote 🤔 #us politics #american politics

[yourheartinyourmouth]

the older I get, the more certain I am that anyone who has ever voted conservative more than once should be roasted and eaten.

#I say more than once bc everyone is allowed to make a mistake #yes this includes gam-gam and pop-pop #conservatives have always been very very open that they are the party of hate #they have never and will never have a good faith argument #conservative policies have ALWAYS been about evil and money and keeping the ppl they deem as less than out of society #conservatives voted for segregation and let ppl die of AIDS in the street

[soldier-poet-king]

Why the fuck am I getting texts from Doug Ford's office. Fuck off. I hate u sm.

#LITERALLY IT HAS BEEN SUCH A BAD DAY #and now DOUGGIE BOY IS TEXTING ME WITH CAMPAIGN SHIT #FUCK U. I HATE UR STUPID POLICIES AND UR DUMB PARTY #literally. am not boozed enough 4 this #sangria in the fridge cooling #the national. playing. i am gonna be SOOOOO emo abt this or else im gonna *** #i have never once voted conservative or signed up for anything related to this man. HOW IS HIS OFFICE TEXTING ME #im literally signed up for the NDP and green email lists. wtf

[wordwovencackle]

whoever said something along the lines of "outspoken conservative women are the most masculine of all" was so right

#conservative women forget that speaking up writing debating activism research and study are all feminist #ive been checking in on conservative or right-wing or religious women (often all at once) #and they're hated by their own #even women speaking about right-wing values will face backlash from the men in that group because she's a woman speaking in the first place #case in point: lauren southern bemoaning how about 90% of the women she worked with and who shared the same values are now voting blue #or have checked out of politics entirely (also a very interesting point) #her recent comments might have something to do with that she's a (broke?) single mom now (women she used to bash rather severely) #strange lauren how though your situation changed the values and opinions of your audience and ilk didn't #women from all political factions realising men will en masse never side with women is like a harsh wake up call

[theeconstantcompanion]

Loooove how white women are blamed for both Biden and Trump having gotten into office from either side, respectively.

I've heard from left-wing youtubers that it was the rich privileged white women basically just following what their husbands/daddys said, prioritizing their wealth and race above all else, that went MAGA.

And now after Title IX I'm seeing right wing youtubers say it's the "white, overly pampered, suburban women" who keep voting for Democrats despite knowing what they do for women's rights.

Like those aren't necessarily wrong critiques! Those women exist! For a myriad of reasons. But why are they the only demographic singled out? (For context, I am indeed a white woman, but not American). How are ~we~ responsible for both outcomes? While seemingly being purposefully disadvantaged by either "side"?

#ramblings #yes i subject myself to brett cooper bc i wanna know the DW perspectives on things without listening to a man #and im again not denying that theres validity on both sides with those critiques bc ...there is #but the math isnt mathing #and they never seem to honestly engage with why their version of white women vote the way that they do #to leftists the RW women must be racist homophobes but we know with Title IX there was validity in their concerns for womens rights #to conservatives the LW women just wanna murder babies and pretend women dont exist but weve seen the rollback of Roe V Wade #and how thats impacted women across america particularly in the south #left wing right wing the whole bird hates women etc etc

jesus goddamn christ i Cannot Wait for my province to re-elect this fucking hag of a premier who wants to replicate The Kinds Of Freedom In Desantis' Florida :):):):)

#i am SCARED god i've never been so fucking afraid of an election #it's too close to call between the two biggest parties but. i have no faith in this place #it doesn't matter how poorly the conservatives managed the pandemic and healthcare and education and the economy and Fucking Everything #we're Alberta so We Vote Blue Baby!! I'm fucking offing myself #the kinds of freedoms in desantis' florida. #christ #yknow they only let her answer like two questions during her q&a periods #because she's such an idiot that if they let her open her mouth more than that she'd alienate half their fucking voters

i feel like there is a certain threshold of being bigoted in the past where its like okay. youre kind of an ass. skill issue on being a good person tbh.

#its like. i have sympathy for people who grew up in conservative households #saying as someone who grew up in a republican state with mega republican trump voting parents #i never went the mega racist route i was never even close to neo because i think it takes just straight up being an awful person #to remotely cross that line. like being so full of hate and shit rather than pure ignorance

[illputdownmyrootswhenimdead]

transphobic gays when the conservatives they allied with to harm trans people move from transphobia to homophobia:

#transphobia // #homophobia // #misogyny // #incest // #rape // #warnings are mostly for the tags #alternative caption: transphobic cis women when the conservatives they allied with to harm trans people move from transphobia to misogyny: #‘surely these people with bioessentialist ideals about sex and gender and sexuality and what men and women are will treat me well #as a gay person/woman/both’ #or #‘​i never thought they would eat MY face’ sobs woman who voted for the leopards eating human faces party #anyway conversatives will not stop at just getting rid of trans people. they don’t want gay people either. they want women to basically be #property and objects for men again. #they aren’t going to see you as an exception. they are not your allies. #this is why i can’t stand terfs who agree with fuckers like matt walsh #he’s a huge fucking misogynist who is pro life and talks about how fertile teenage girls are and how child rape victims should have to give #birth to their rapists child because it’s ‘evidence’ of their assault #and he’s incredibly fucking homophobic too. he thinks gay people are groomers. #but he’s transphobic too so terfs just eat it all up and agree with him based on that. #‘he knows what a woman is uwu so he’s a feminist ally’ he doesn’t think that children should be taught about consent and that victims of #incest and rape should carry their rapists baby to term because it’s evidence and that teenage girls are more fertile and all kinds of #other disgusting shit #he is not your ally. if you align yourself with him you are not a feminist #you’re an idiot at best and just as much of a fascist predator as him at worst #i hope you drive your car off a bridge <3 #(drafted this back in january and its even more relevant now lmao)

[macrocosmus]

I don’t know how to properly express how I fucking hate how some folks talk about voting as this end all be all while also acknowledging that yeah, I am voting in every election.

I will engage with the system but I don’t trust it for a fucking second and it’s appalling that folks do.

So sure, vote, but maybe also form a union, strike, protest, riot, contribute to bail funds, take part in mutual aid, support strikers protesters and rioters, support counter protests, write to your representatives, read something off the anarchist library website, go to your local library, volunteer, be outspoken, call out shit, make graffiti, cover up fashie graffiti, find your local food banks and help out, educate folks about propaganda and fascism, play punk and commie music, anything

I know folks can do everything, but if voting is your end all be all political engagement... fuck

voting is harm reduction at best

#maybe I'll regret posting this #whatever #im not articulate and i never can get my butt to protests but im fucking trying yknow? #like everyone is saying we gotta vote to keep the good rolling from this administration #and im just here looking at half measures and people not reading past headlines #call me fucking cynical and jaded but like #buddy theres a better world out there #theres a bright future and if you're fixated on voting and throw your faith in the system like it sounds like you do... #do you even know what that brighter future will look like? #*plays Emma Goldman Would Have Beat Your Ass and smokes too much* #listen you dont gotta be like me #heck you might even be better #but like fuck #if you don't vote you're dooming us to these conservatives is so fucking annoying to listen to #you sound like a fucking liberal who went from screaming about kids in cages to simply shrugging and asking where else should we put them #im voting because its the least i can do #and yeah it does fucking help a bit #but get out of my fucking ass about it trying to doomsay me into it #you should duckduckgo image search for ratchet effect politics #maybe that'll learn you something #ALSO #i dont understand how negotiating shit actually works but i know that to get what you want you have to ask for more and #im forced to vote for fuckers who dont seem to understand that #or understand that and want to get less #wheres that simpsons screencaps of the two parties' national conventions #anyway #i've been ralmbing in the tags for long enough #if you made it this far in the tags tell me why

[siilkmoth]

starting to feel like a lot of the inflammatory leftist activists who do insane shit for attention are right-wing psyops lol i cant fucking take this shit anymore

#found out that lidia thorpe is voting no in the referendum bc its not enough and suddenly i feel like everything is clear to me. #this and also those fuckin. stop oil protesters. #i am SO GLAD i can turn off reblogs i dont want this to leave my circle by accident #actually im adding to these tags im genuinely disappointed abt lidia thorpe bc like. she did a lot of things i disagreed with #but i always took a step back to view it from a broader perspective abt how sometimes you Need to act out to get real progress #and having a politician do that is so radical. so while i didnt like her i respected her #but now its like. oh you have obviously either been manipulated to or you have chosen to act like this to make a fool of leftists #to make a fool of this ideology and to give conservatives a reason to think the movement is stupid #'oh well if this person who is such a huge activist who does all these stupid things thinks its bad then it shows that Your side is shaky' #'and i will never consider your points!' LIKE I FEEL INSANE #sorry i know most of u are american. imagine if bernie sanders voted against gay marriage

also in moving to nyc it's the first time my life that the majority of my jewish community hasn't been chabad or reform. (while my shul growing up was chabad and my religious education was chabad, my parents are Conservative/Conservadox -- again, denominationally not politically -- and my house was a Conservative Jewish™ household). this is the first time i'm plugged into Conservative Judaism™ as an institution instead of just a vague middle ground as "Jews who practice traditional Judaism but aren't orthodox"

like, my friends are Conservative Jewish educators and youth outreach coordinators, children of Conservative Rabbis, people who've worked within this institution for years trying to essentially safe it from itself as it hemorrhages members.

it's really fascinating to see how lots of people my age are into Conservative Judaism conceptually but the mantle has not really been passed down to us and it's alienating us as a result

#i have no real conclusions here i'm just chatting #the people i know who are most committed to the idea of conservative judaism existing are the same people most critical of its institutions #we talk a lot about how we feel we're watching it being killed but there's nothing we can really do besides create alternate communities #apparently a lot of rabbi's (including my friend's father) are essentially running conservative shuls without officially belonging #to the formal institution of Conservative Judaism™ #which means they don't really have voting power / say in institutional policy #but judaism has never been like catholicism in this way and individual rabbis have always had much more individual say #the council of conservative rabbis may say one thing but your rabbi could say another and tbh. congregations are gonna go with their rabbi #ren speaks #jewish blogging

[petalsandpurity]

I have a feeling we will end up having a general election by Christmas tbh. I doubt liz is gonna hold on until the end of the week let alone another year or two. Regardless of whether the tories think she should stay or not - she genuinely looked unwell yesterday?

And if they change PM again, surely they’ll do the decent thing and also call an election.

#I feel like we’ll have a lab government soon #unless starmer fucks up royally in which case congrats to the Lib Dem’s 🥰 #I’ve never seen the south east predicted to vote entirely red. Canterbury votes red of course but the rest of the SE is #just tories. massive shock to see that so I think the conservatives are def finished hahaha #uk politics
