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

Our Rules:

Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
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.

In the US that would almost literally be voting in Republicans. They want the system to crawl to a halt, and critical functions are legislated to frequently sunset so they can hold the system hostage on a regular basis.

It's how the system works with First Past the Post voting. It doesn't support more than 2 viable candidates. We need to reform our election system.

Well, it's a short comment on a social media platform, what do you expect. At least it's less superficial than "This is very superficial."

I should've gone into detail, but I'm just not in the mood to argue sometimes. I'll get back to you if I do.
