Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yeah I voted for Biden last election. Obviously I knew that he was in power while the US was vaporizing brown children in the middle east, but I didn't really fully process how horrifying that was until it happened to someone closer to me I guess. I know that both sides aren't the same, but like they're both so awful. One of them is genocide, and the other is genocide while undermining queer rights in the US. I might be just thinking emotionally instead of logically, but I can't bring myself to vote for the genocide candidate.

And I think that at the very least threatening to not vote for Biden will force him to change his foreign policy. If we're sitting here saying "still vote blue next year!" then what motivation does Biden have to change anything? We know he won't do it out of the goodness of his heart, cause he's a fucking horrible person, so we have to try to scare him.
