The Way Some People Are Acting Like White People Would Be Getting Their Just Deserts If Trump Was Elected

The way some people are acting like white people would be getting their just deserts if Trump was elected is so fucked up. Like, collectively punishing white people shouldn't be a goal here; we should be aiming to make things better for all vulnerable people. And I promise you, however bad things are for said vulnerable people right now, they would become infinitely worse under a second Trump term. In your desire to collectively punish white people, you are condemning everyone else to even crueler fates. Kill the Catholic priest in your head; punishment is not justice, atonement is not accomplished through suffering.

For the first time in forever I'm actually feeling hopeful about the state of US politics. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz may not be as radical as some progressives are demanding asking, but for American politicians they are an absolute breath of fresh air.

With how the Republican party has been trying to recreate Nazi Germany, it's such a relief that we have Democratic candidates who are outspoken supporters of LGBTQ rights, women's rights, civil rights, etc. It also definitely helps that they're not completely tonguing Israel's boot.

If you're an American citizen and over 18, you have no excuse to not vote this November.

Genuinely do not understand Americans who say they aren’t going to vote or the vote doesn’t matter. You’re on the clown site, babey, and you just got the chance to have a black woman, however morally questionable you find her, wipe the floor with the most overconfident, below-mediocrity white man you ever did see. The comedy! The drama! The pizzazz! Where’s the commitment to the bit!? The dedication to the show going on!? The “god forbid women do anything” tenacity you all so love!? You’re in the circus now and I swear, I better see you all getting into this clown car because the world is watching and we’re waiting for the best show of our lives!

normally i wouldn’t make a post like this, but i hope at least some people will see it:

from this NYT article

from this WSJ article

just so everyone has the information.

give a shit about voting. be responsible.

You know what, this "we should withhold from voting for the Democrats to punish them and teach them a lesson" logic makes no sense, because even if that would work, wouldn't it be more logical to vote for Democrats to try and punish the Republicans? Like if there's anybody you wanna try and show you won't stand for, wouldn't it make sense to target the actual worst people in government?
