seriously though, in 2020 you need to swallow your fucking pride and vote for the primary democrat even if you dont agree with them. any other vote is only going to increase the chances of another republican taking office. if you didnt learn anything from the last election, then i guess hindsight isnt actually 2020
i dont get how people are like “hmm, the republicans are trying to undermine democracy and stripping away the rights of people as well as spreading hate and violence? well im not gonna vote unless bernie is the democrat primary”
Imagine admitting years in advance that you just can’t field a decent opponent against a cheeto in wig and having the gall to demand others just surrender their vote to you out of pity.
Good God is this really the state of American democrats?
my priority is putting out the fire. then we can focus on rebuilding. the republicans are by far the biggest threat to democracy and they need to be voted out of office before we vote the democrats out of office in favour for independent parties.. voting independant will only split the votes and result in more republican terms.
That doesn’t make sense as you’ve explained it…don’t vote indy now but vote indy later, all you’re doing is delaying the inevitable.
You still have the core problem : the Democrat party seems fundamentally incapable of appealing to its own base and is viewed as rife with corruption..demanding people be feudal serfs and just give up their right to vote to their Democrat lords…and I gotta tell you, this message doesn’t seem to be working from what I can see..and in my head can’t work with an informed public.
All you’re doing as I can tell is paving the way from Trump 2020.
so by your logic; if everyone who is against the republican votes for the democrat primary, it would result in republicans winning? how does that work out?
Because you’re assuming that your message resonates with the voting populace, previous experience and current observation show that it doesn’t, additionally if your plan is to get a Dem in now and then spend 4-8 years shredding them to push independent parties/candidates but the Republicans remain a solid coherent group then…all you’re doing is delaying them.
Does that make sense?
Armchair psyche: liberals don’t react to authoritarian orders to vote X way like conservatives, they don’t have the same obedience to hierarchy and a different strategy is needed…like fielding an appealing candidate who inspires them to vote, who earns the privilege.
so you would rather have 4 more years of trump to teach teh democratic party a lesson than actually try to buy time to make things better?
No i’d rather you get your shit together and actually deserve the support of your people because as I said, I can’t cope with 4 more years of that cunt nor the insufferable whinging of you lot that are seemingly terminally incapable of getting the job done.
@silver-tongues-blog would you vote Hitler into the presidency if he was running democrat? After all, you said it doesn’t matter if you disagree with the candidate as long as they aren’t republican.
“VOTE FOR MY CANDIDATE WITH NO COMPLAINTS OR ELSE YOU’RE LITERALLY HITLER!!”
Glad to see we’ve learned from our mistakes in 2015-2016.
Hey OP. How much are you gonna pay me to vote Democrat?
does not having your human rights stripped away count as payment? because if you vote anyhting other than democrat, then trumps gonna be in office another four years and he has no problem stripping people of their human rights.
Neither do most Democrats
This is based on a narrative that trump is taking away people’s rights. Other than banning the bump stock for guns, which democrats favored, what rights has he taken away? I’m not seeing it.
revoking visas and then deporting the people for not having valid visas for one thing

I just discovered there’s a clause in my contract that literally says I’m not allowed to work
like from the context of the section above it it’s clearly supposed to say I’m not allowed to use my time on the clock to do anything connected with another job but what it actually says is just:
you may not under any circumstances undertake any duties of any kind during your hours of work
If various companies think that pulling their content from Netflix so they can host their own streaming service will make them sign up to theirs then they are wrong. It will just make me pirate their content again.
The whole point of paying for a streaming was getting all the stuff you like on one place. If I have to pay for multiple streaming services I might as well buy cable.
It’s like they don’t realize that I only stopped stealing as a courtesy to the creators. Make it remotely inconvenient and I’ll go right back to piracy
We need to have a nomination for “Stupidest thing Tumblr.com has ever believed” and just move into an official Top 10 List.
For my nominations, I’m putting up:
If you eat a chocolate bar a very specific way, you will break physics and get infinite chocolate.
or
It is impossible that you spelled “Berenstain Bears” wrong and is, instead, more likely that the universe fractured into separate, overlapping realities in the last 20 years.
I can’t decide which is more beautiful. It’s why we need a vote.
this is a picture of the human brain at the moment of death. tragic and beautiful
Fuck. That is a damn good nomination.
if you close your eyes when the train hits your brain will assume you are dead. Some find this comforting.
We’re getting into the good ones now. This is some classic Tumblr.
