How does it feel to know that not only are you the person who made me realize that stuff like this even exists, but also that I think of you every time it comes across my dash, lmao.
I don't want to talk about politics too much, but I'll say this.
Apathy is a weapon used by those in power to stop people from actually trying to make change. You not giving a shit is the goal, the less you care, the easier it is for those in power to remain in power and collect more. There's a reason the news is always filled with the most depressing shit that makes you angry.
I’ll say it again, please just grit your teeth and vote for Biden…
I have no interest in political discourse on tumblr. That's my bad. That's not why I'm here; that's not what I use it for.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and that your life is fucking great! =]

But we don't live in an ideal world, we live in this one. We have two options, that's the reality. I understand wanting to protest vote, but what happens when your protest vote results in helping enable someone who is far worse?
The system needs to be changed, it's fucked, it's broken, things aren't okay. We agree on this. However, pretending that you're just "not part of the system" and standing by and watching Trump get back into power is sheer ignorance. Things weren't better then, they won't be better the next time.
Also, the president is a figurehead of a party, if you think there is any candidate who wouldn't have sat back and tried to redirect during this conflict, you would be wrong. They are not all powerful, they are not the single source of power, they are one person in a massive system. Yes, they have power, but that power isn't unlimited, and they are beholden to the keys of power just like every other position of power.
If you want change, vote locally, start from the ground up, that's how change is actually made. You don't just protest vote and then feel like you've done a good job while refusing to get involved in the real, actual, efforts to change things. That's not change; that's virtue signaling.
