Saying "voting Doesn't Matter" Might Reach Your Younger Peers Online But It Certainly Hasn't Reached

With Kamala/Walz going up DAILY, I've seen more people talking about voting third party/Jill Stein (EW) and I believe the above screencaps from @three--rings can explain WHY Third Party votes NEVER work NOR is this the election to screw around in.

Everyone....like she says above.....PLEASE LEARN FROM HISTORY!!!

(Because if Trump gets in, he's NEVER LEAVING).

Argh how am I even supposed to get a career? I do technician work on cars and have an electro-mechanical engineering associates but neither of those really feel like something I wanna do long term. Like how is one supposed to just. decide that. Especially at 18. And in the middle of a pandemic, which is when I was expected to. It doesn't help that there are so many things that sound like they would be fun and/or interesting but then most of them don't seem to pay very well (like landscaping or baking) or require a lot of math that I am subpar at (like all of the science that interests me) or I am just not very good at and feel like it would be very difficult to get into now (music, theater) (I know these still don't necessarily pay well either).

And like. maybe I could manage to get good enough at one of these to make a career out of it except I have the attention span of an actual gnat and I am really good at getting bored of things at top speed so what if I commit to something and then decide that it still isn't something I can to for 30+ years? I have found that the grass really is greener on the other side. But I have decided that I really don't want to work on cars for 33 more years so now I gotta find something else that is tolerable.

anyway end rant. thanks for reading, if anyone sees this. I just don't know what to do and need to put some thoughts out into the Void.

So intellectual

I actually love this, how do we start a new holiday?

The commercialized American holidays could really use more balance in their moods and themes though because currently it’s still like

Valentine’s day: love, romance, friendship, sexiness

Easter: springtime, nature, bunnies, butterflies, pretty eggs

Halloween: what if a dead body could eat you

Christmas: joy, family, angels, snowfla

I hear audio, like voices, in the backgrounds of a lot of their tracks if I'm listening with the right speaker. I didn't realized some of their songs had talking in the background and it freaked me out so much before I realized it was in the songs lol.

I was listening to Blossoms with the new headphones I got for Christmas (JBL Tour One M2) and I heard something I hadn't heard before.

I swear I can hear a faint but real gut-curling scream in the background at 3 minutes and 9 seconds, right when Joey sings 'scream out to the sky'.

My sibling was able to hear it too, but my mother and sister couldn't. Am I tweaking??

the way these strikes get framed is always so funny to me

"the strike could stretch on until the end of summer" or the execs could pay their workers

"there won't be ANY new shows because of this strike" or the execs could pay their workers

"no more content for us because the mean old writers and actors are-" OR THE EXECS COULD PAY THEIR WORKERS

“Donald Trump threatens the entire existence of the American republic. He is able to do this because the Supreme Court he created is assisting him in doing so. It is a corrupt Court – on which more later. It overturned a central right for half of our population. It routinely mixes and matches rationales, jurisprudences, logics to arrive at the end point of transforming America into their extremist vision. We’ve heard that yesterday’s decision was a terrible decision, an extremist decision, that it changes the American experiment fundamentally. No disagreement with any of those points. Most importantly, in my mind, it’s a fake decision. Yes, it will now be controlling within the federal courts. But it doesn’t change the constitution any more than a foreign army occupying New England would make Massachusetts no longer part of the United States. That may seem like a jarring analogy. But it’s the only kind that allows us to properly view and react to this Supreme Court.”

The rationale for the decision yesterday has literally no basis whatsoever in the US constitution.

Josh Marshall is correct, but I don’t think it matters. This corrupt, activist, fascist SCOTUS does not care. The majority has decided that the Constitution, 250 years of precedent, popular opinion, and the foundational ideas that have made America what it is since 1787 are what they say they are.

I live in a country of three hundred and forty million people.

In this country, six unelected christian nationalists, five of whom were placed on the court by presidents who lost the popular vote, who are opposed by SEVENTY PERCENT of the population, are making up laws out of whole cloth because their power is unchecked. A country that allows this to impose their regressive authoritarianism on that entire population is not a free country. It is not a Democracy.

America has not been attacked like this since 9/11. Six unelected people forcing their christian nationalist agenda on a population of three hundred and forty million is not a Democracy. It is tyranny.

Everyone is missing the central message of yesterday’s ruling: SCOTUS is going to install Trump as dictator for life, by any means necessary. Somehow, after he loses the popular vote again, and after he’s even lost the Electoral College again, these six Fascists will invent a reason to overturn the will of the electorate, again. Every single one of their rulings this term have been part of their coup. Now, just line them all up and connect the dots.

We are four months away from the likely end of what passes for freedom in America, and once it’s gone, it’s not coming back in my lifetime.

*Those are nice
