To anyone considering not voting because of the Palestinian genocide, I have this to ask:
How many Palestinian people do you think you're helping by laying back and inviting the GOP to crush you under foot? Self flagellation didn't cure The Plague, and it won't fix this situation either.
If you don't like the idea of voting for Harris, I doubt I'll be able to change your mind, but consider this: 468 congressional seats out of a total 535 are up for re-election THIS NOVEMBER. You want to make the government start actually representing the will of the people? Start there.
We're living in frightening times, and apathy is a very comfortable state of being, but you need to act. If you don't, who will?
“I guess everyone’s forgetting how Kamala—“
nobody forgot shit! we have bigger problems! the only alternative to Kamala is a man who wants to wage war on every minority in America. A man who wants to push us further into full on fascism. any “but that one time Kamala” talk benefits only one person right now and that’s Donald Trump. do your part by keeping that shit to yourself! nobody fucking asked and whatever you’re bringing up isn’t more important than queer people’s lives — which ARE at stake. just shut the fuck up and vote, republicans are counting on infighting among the left, so just put it aside. It can wait, I promise.
The UK did it.
France just did it.
Come on, USA. We can do it too. Check your registration. Get out and vote in November. Get your family and friends and neighbors to vote. Kick every shitty far right fascist out of office. Kill Project 2025 dead at the ballot box. Kick them out everywhere, at every level. Local, county, state, and national. Neutralize the immediate threat so we can spend the next two years dragging our political culture further to the left instead of fighting for our lives.
We CAN do it. I'm begging.
I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.
People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".
These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.
If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.
Lol, it's true.
There was just a White Women for Kamala Zoom call with 150,000 women and it kept on crashing because it was the largest Zoom call in history.
Meanwhile, this is Vance:
He called Harris a childless cat lady despite her being married with two stepkids, pissing off people who don't have children, couldn't have children, or like cats.
Everyone hates him:
The analysts are going back to previously deeply unpopular VP picks and marveling at how bad Vance's numbers are even compared to them.
The things we will never (and shouldn’t) know.
I'm angry enough about what I *do* know.
